Abstract
A system for adjustable construction or demolition temporary supports is disclosed. The adjustable construction or demolition temporary support includes a plurality of sensor devices for measuring load on the support and signal detection and communication device that being in communication with the sensor devices. The communication device further comprises a display unit and/or audio output unit for providing visual and/or audible alarm for alarming conditions. The signal detection and communication device further includes a wireless transceiver for remote monitoring.
Claims16
An adjustable construction or demolition temporary support, comprising:
- a. a first tubular member;
- b. a second tubular member, operably engaging with the first tubular member;
- c. a releasable fastener for releasably engaging the first and second tubular members for providing the support at an adjustable height;
- d. a plurality of load sensor devices attached to the lateral surface of the adjustable construction temporary support at the same longitudinal distance from one of the ends of the support, having radially equally spaced therebetween;
- and
- e. a signal detection and communication device that detachably attached to the support, being communication with the plurality of the sensor devices to measure the load on the support.
An adjustable construction or demolition temporary support comprising:
- a. a one-pipe or multi-pipe strut having a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end;
- b. a load monitoring pad detachably attached to one of the first and second longitudinal end;
- c. an actuator for adjusting the height of the support;
- d. a plurality of load sensor devices attached to the lateral surface of the load monitoring pad;
- and
- e. a signal detection and communication device that detachably attached to the load monitoring pad, being communication with the plurality of the sensor devices to measure the load on the support.
An adjustable construction or demolition temporary support system, comprising:
- a. one or more adjustable construction temporary supports, each support comprising:
- i. a first tubular member;
- ii. a second tubular member, operably engaging with the first tubular member;
- iii. a releasable fastener for releasably engaging the first and second tubular members for providing the support at an adjustable height;
- iv. a plurality of load sensor devices attached to the lateral outer surface of the adjustable construction temporary support at the same longitudinal distance from one of the ends of the support, having radially equally spaced therebetween;
- v. a signal detection and communication device that detachably attached to the support, being communication with the plurality of the sensor devices to measure the load on the support, comprising a wireless transceiver;
- and
- b. a monitoring device comprising a wireless transceiver, being communication with the wireless transceiver of each support.
