Beam clamp installation tool

A combination of a beam clamp and a beam clamp installation tool for use with said beam clamp, said combination comprising:

• a beam clamp comprising:
• a C-shaped main body including:
• an upper clamping portion;
• a lower clamping portion including:
• a threaded set screw aperture therethrough;
• and
• a center clamping portion including:
• a threaded rod aperture therethrough;
• wherein said center clamping portion is connected between said upper clamping portion and said lower clamping portion;
• and
• an elongated threaded set screw including:
• an elongated threaded body portion;
• and
• a square-shaped head;
• wherein said elongated threaded set screw is adapted to rotatably engage with said threaded set screw aperture of said lower clamping portion;
• and
• wherein when rotated, an end portion of said elongated threaded body portion of said elongated threaded set screw is adapted to releasably contact a flange portion of a ceiling beam;
• and
• a threaded jam nut;
• wherein said threaded jam nut is formed having hexagonal shape;
• wherein said threaded jam nut is adapted to be located upon said elongated threaded body portion of said elongated threaded set screw and in between said square-shaped head of said elongated threaded set screw and a lower surface of said lower clamping portion;
• wherein said C-shaped main body is adapted to surround said flange portion of said ceiling beam and clamp said flange portion of said ceiling beam in between said end portion of said elongated threaded body portion of said elongated threaded set screw and a lower surface of said upper clamping portion of said C-shaped main body;
• and
• wherein after said C-shaped main body is clamped to said flange portion of said ceiling beam said threaded jam nut is adapted to be rotated until making contact with said lower surface of said lower clamping portion, thereby jamming and securely holding said elongated threaded set screw in place upon said flange portion of said ceiling beam;
• and
• a beam clamp installation tool comprising:
• an elongated handle comprising;
• a first end;
• a second end;
• and
• an elongated middle section;
• a first socket member including:
• a hollow center section;
• wherein said hollow center section is sized and shaped to fit over and engage said first end of said elongated handle;
• a center annular ring;
• wherein said center annular ring is formed within said hollow center section and forms and defines an upper end portion of said first socket member and a lower end portion of said first socket member;
• and
• wherein said center annular ring is sized and shaped to contact said first end of said elongated handle and prevent said elongated handle from moving further into said hollow center section;
• a cylindrical opening through said lower end portion thereof;
• wherein said cylindrical opening is adapted to fit upon said first end of said elongated handle;
• a square-shaped opening through said upper end portion thereof;
• at least one threaded set screw aperture;
• wherein said at least one threaded set screw aperture is located through a side wall of said lower end portion;
• and
• at least one threaded set screw;
• wherein said at least one threaded set screw is adapted to engage respective said at least one threaded set screw aperture, and is adapted to engage said first end of said elongated handle to releasably secure said first socket member thereto;
• a second socket member including:
• a hollow center section;
• wherein said hollow center section is sized and shaped to fit over and engage said second end of said elongated handle;
• a center annular ring;
• wherein said center annular ring is formed within said hollow center section and forms and defines an upper end portion of said second socket member and a lower end portion of said second socket member;
• and
• wherein said center annular ring is sized and shaped to contact said second end of said elongated handle and prevent said elongated handle from moving further into said hollow center section;
• a cylindrical opening through said lower end portion thereof;
• wherein said cylindrical opening is adapted to fit upon said second end of said elongated handle;
• a hexagonally-shaped opening through said upper end portion thereof;
• at least one threaded set screw aperture;
• wherein said at least one threaded set screw aperture is located through said side wall of said lower end portion;
• and
• at least one threaded set screw;
• wherein said at least one threaded set screw is adapted to engage respective said at least one threaded set screw aperture, and is adapted to engage said second end of said elongated handle to releasably secure said second socket member thereto;
• wherein said first socket member is releasably attached to said first end of said elongated handle;
• and said second socket member is releasably attached to said second end of said elongated handle;
• and
• wherein when in use, the first socket member is used to engage said square head of said set screw of said beam clamp via the square-shaped opening, then said beam clamp installation tool is used to lift said beam clamp up to and engage said beam of a building structure, then said beam clamp installation tool is rotated in order to rotate the set screw of said beam clamp until said beam clamp is engaged with said beam of said building structure, then said beam clamp installation tool is flipped around and said second socket member is used to engage said hexagonal head of said jam nut of said beam clamp via said hexagonally-shaped opening, then said beam clamp installation tool is rotated in order to rotate said jam nut of said beam clamp until said beam clamp is securely engaged with said beam of said building structure.
