Patent ID: 7992836

Claim:
A slab formwork system, comprising: a plurality of formwork elements which have first hook members at their lower side; and vertical supports having second hook members at upper end sections thereof for establishing a hook connection with first hook members, with the first and second hook members being designed such that the hook connection can be established when the formwork element and the vertical supports extend parallel or obliquely to one another and such that a pivoting of the formwork element is made possible while maintaining the hook connection, into such a position in which the formwork element and the vertical supports include an angle of approximately 90°, wherein the second hook members form the very ends of the upper end sections, wherein third hook members are hung into the formwork elements, the third hook members being coupled to tensioning members, wherein hook connections are effective between the third hook members and the formwork elements when the formwork elements and vertical supports extend parallel or obliquely to one another, when the formwork element and vertical supports include an angle of approximately 90°, and when the formwork element is pivoted between the aforesaid positions.
