Support head for a ceiling support for a ceiling formwork , wherein the support head comprises - a connecting element with first and second connecting surfaces facing away from one another, wherein the first connecting face is connectable or connected to a formwork support and the second connecting face has first guide means for guiding a displacement element which is displaceable with respect to the connecting element , and - the displacement element which is arrangeable between a girder bar , e. g. in the form of a double U-profile, the ceiling formwork and the connecting element and has second guide means ( 7, 7', 7" ) which cooperate with the first guide means of the connecting element , characterized in that the second guide means ( 7, 7', 7" ) cooperate with the first guide means such that - in a loaded state of the support head in a first displacement position (V1) the first and second guide means (5a, 5b, 7, 7', 7" ) form an axis (A1) underneath the girder bar , about which the displacement element is tiltable relative to the connecting element by a first angle (α), and - in an unloaded state of the support head , when the element abuts against the girder bar , the connecting element is displaceable from the first displacement position (V) into a second displacement position (V2) substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction (L) of the girder bar and transversely to the girder bar in a plane defined by the first connecting surface with a normal vector in a direction of load introduction in the loaded state, wherein the connecting element is rotatable in the second displacement position (V2) relative to the displacement element by a second angle (β) which is greater than the first angle (α), in particular by the second angle (β) of at least 90 degrees. - a connecting element with first and second connecting surfaces facing away from one another, wherein the first connecting face is connectable or connected to a formwork support and the second connecting face has first guide means for guiding a displacement element which is displaceable with respect to the connecting element , and - the displacement element which is arrangeable between a girder bar , e. g. in the form of a double U-profile, the ceiling formwork and the connecting element and has second guide means ( 7, 7', 7" ) which cooperate with the first guide means of the connecting element , characterized in that the second guide means ( 7, 7', 7" ) cooperate with the first guide means such that - in a loaded state of the support head in a first displacement position (V1) the first and second guide means (5a, 5b, 7, 7', 7" ) form an axis (A1) underneath the girder bar , about which the displacement element is tiltable relative to the connecting element by a first angle (α), and - in an unloaded state of the support head , when the element abuts against the girder bar , the connecting element is displaceable from the first displacement position (V) into a second displacement position (V2) substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction (L) of the girder bar and transversely to the girder bar in a plane defined by the first connecting surface with a normal vector in a direction of load introduction in the loaded state, wherein the connecting element is rotatable in the second displacement position (V2) relative to the displacement element by a second angle (β) which is greater than the first angle (α), in particular by the second angle (β) of at least 90 degrees. <EOS>
