Connecting formwork panels

A clamp for connecting formwork panels, particularly panels which are to be disposed side-by-side and have profiles extending peripherally thereof, comprising a pair of clamping members each of which includes a clamping arm for urging one formwork panel towards another and an adjusting arm which is noncollinear with the respective clamping arm, said adjusting arms having overlapping end portions;

• means mounting said clamping members for pivotal movement between a rest position and an operative position in which said clamping arms can urge respective formwork panels towards each other, said mounting means comprising a support and pivot pins connecting said clamping members to said support, said adjusting arms and said support extending at least approximately along the same direction;
• and means for pivoting said clamping members between said positions, said pivoting means including an eccentric cam which engages both of said end portions, and said cam comprising a pivot which is movable transverse to said adjusting arms.

A clamp for connecting formwork panels, particularly formwork panels which are to be disposed side-by-side in a common plane and have profiles extending peripherally thereof, comprising a pair of clamping members each of which includes a clamping arm for urging one formwork panel towards another and an adjusting arm which is noncollinear with the respective clamping arm, said adjusting arms having overlapping end portions;

• means mounting said clamping members for pivotal movement between a rest position and an operative position in which said clamping arms can urge respective formwork panels towards each other, said mounting means comprising a U-shaped support and pivot pins connecting said clamping members to said support;
• and means for pivoting said clamping members between said positions, said pivoting means including an eccentric cam which engages both of said end portions, and said cam comprising a pivot which is movable transverse to said adjusting arms.
