Abstract
Abstract A bracket for use with concrete forming systems to support work scaffolding or form aligning and strengthening walers. A support frame having a lower end for contact with form elements extends upwardly and outwardly to provide clearance for form reinforcing bars and to provide support for a movable clamping element. An attachment is provided for engaging the reinforcing bars, form tie elements or a first waler of the form system to hold the support frame as adjustment of the clamping element moves the scaffold staging pieces horizontally into secure engagement with the forms thereby additionally providing a reinforcing and aligning waler. A screw may be used for powering movement of the clamping element.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
234 words
A scaffold-waler support bracket for use with staging elements and/or walers in connection with concrete wall forming systems utilizing panel form components held in place by form ties comprising a support frame for said bracket positioned adjacent a form tie and having a leg extending downwardly therefrom for engagement with elements of the form system, a clamp element supported by said frame for adjusting movement toward and away from the panels of said form system, a staging support element on said bracket in position intermediate said clamp element and elements of said form system whereby adjusting movements of said clamp element may exert lateral pressure against staging elements disposed on said staging support for holding said staging elements in operative personnel support positions against said forms whereby the staging is further operative as a waler for the alignment and support of said forms, thread means operative with said clamp element for the powered adjusting movement thereof, a bearing support in combination with said thread means and operative therewith for moving said clamp element to adjusted positions, and alternate attachment means for selective use with said support bracket combination, said attachment means having a prong disposed in angular position with respect to the plane of said staging support for engagement with elements of said form system to hold said bracket in elevated position on said forms and for resisting forces exerted by said clamp element.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
234 words
A scaffold-waler support bracket for use with staging elements and/or walers in connection with concrete wall forming systems utilizing panel form components held in place by form ties comprising a support frame for said bracket positioned adjacent a form tie and having a leg extending downwardly therefrom for engagement with elements of the form system, a clamp element supported by said frame for adjusting movement toward and away from the panels of said form system, a staging support element on said bracket in position intermediate said clamp element and elements of said form system whereby adjusting movements of said clamp element may exert lateral pressure against staging elements disposed on said staging support for holding said staging elements in operative personnel support positions against said forms whereby the staging is further operative as a waler for the alignment and support of said forms, thread means operative with said clamp element for the powered adjusting movement thereof, a bearing support in combination with said thread means and operative therewith for moving said clamp element to adjusted positions, and alternate attachment means for selective use with said support bracket combination, said attachment means having a prong disposed in angular position with respect to the plane of said staging support for engagement with elements of said form system to hold said bracket in elevated position on said forms and for resisting forces exerted by said clamp element.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
