Granted: 2011-05-17
Abstract: A radially expandable tool is provided that includes a tool body and a radially moveable member coupled to the tool body and in force receiving relation to a constant force actuator. The radially moveable member is movable by the constant force actuator from an closed position to a plurality of radially expanded open positions, which includes a fully open position. The constant force actuator includes an opening arm having a force transmission member; and a movement control guide in force reacting engagement with the force transmission member. The tool also includes a linear force generator; which applies a linear force to the constant force actuator, which the actuator transfers to a radial force perpendicular to the linear force. When the linear force is constant, the radial force transferred by the actuator is constant for each radial position of the radially moveable member from the closed position to the fully opened position due to the interaction of the force transmission member and the movement control guide.

Abstract: A hanger for supporting joists or beams in insulated concrete formwork (ICF) systems has two parallel side plates having inner and outer sections, plus an L-shaped support member comprising a horizontal leg extending between the lower edges of the outer sections of the side plates, and an upward-extending vertical leg which demarcates the inner and outer side plate sections. The inner sections of the side plates are passed through slits in one insulation panel of an ICF wall-forming system, until the support member's vertical leg abuts the outer face of the insulation panel, leaving the side plate inner sections extending partially into the formwork cavity. The joist or beam to be supported may be set on the horizontal leg of the support member either before or after the concrete wall is cast. Preferably, a cut-out is made in the insulation panel behind the vertical leg of the support member to allow concrete to flow against the vertical leg and the supported joist or beam is cut for a close fit against the vertical leg, such that external horizontal loads on the wall can pass into the joist or beam by direct compression.
