Patent ID: 7938380

Claim:
A vertically adjustable overhang bracket for use in concrete forming comprising an elongate base component releasably securable to a mounting surface of a support column in a vertical orientation of the base component, said elongate base component including a fixed mounting member extending outwardly from said elongate base component and supporting an adjustable length actuator at a spaced distance to one side of said base component, said overhang bracket including a triangular frame movable along the elongate base component with said triangular frame having a support member extending outwardly to one side of and beyond said elongate base, said elongate base component and said frame including a track and slide securement where said triangular frame is retained against and supported by said elongate base component and movable in the elongate direction of said base component with said fixed mounting member supporting said adjustable length actuator within said triangular frame, said triangular frame including a member for engaging said adjustable length actuator with adjustment of said adjustable length actuator to extend or retract causing said frame to move along said elongate base component, said triangular frame being supported in a cantilevered manner to one side of said elongate base component with the position of the support member being adjustable in the elongate direction of said base component and lockable for supporting of concrete loads applied to said support member during use of said overhang bracket as determined by said adjustable length actuator; said triangular frame including a first side being parallel to said elongate base component, said support member forming a second side of said triangular frame and extending outwardly from said elongate base component in a perpendicular manner, and a third side of said frame providing a diagonal brace between said first and second sides to complete said triangular frame; and wherein said fixed mounting member includes an actuator mounting plate located interior to said triangular frame and said actuator mounting plate includes a pair of connecting members secured to opposite sides of said elongate base component and extending outwardly of said elongate base component and either side of said frame to support said actuator mounting plate, said first side of said frame being movable through a gap defined between said mounting plate and said base component.
