ABSTRACT:
A framing apparatus. The apparatus includes a freely movable support frame for supporting simultaneously a plurality of building frame members in hanging suspension therefrom. Attachment devices are secured to an under-surface of the support frame for attaching building frame members to the support frame such that the frame members are caused to hang in suspension when the support frame is lifted upwardly a sufficient distance. Movement of the support frame from a first location to a second location causes corresponding movement of the plurality of building frame members. The building frame members are preferably attached in horizontal parallel positions. The support frame is then lifted upwardly, for example by a crane, and then lowered to a desired position upon a preexisting building frame. The building frame members can thereafter be attached to the building frame, after which the support frame and attachment devices are removed. A plurality of building frame members are thereby simultaneously placed upon a building frame with precise, predetermined lateral spacing therebetween.
