ABSTRACT:
A bridge overhang system which enables forms to be secured to a bridge girder member without the necessity of a construction worker standing under the girder to secure the form to the girder. More particularly described, a funnel bracket unit connected to the form has guide surface which enables a hanger rod to be guided to a securing member of the overhang bracket unit from above the girder member. The system of the present invention has a support beam with an opening defined therein, a retainer positioned along a surface of the support beam at the opening; and a support rod extending through the support beam to the retainer. The support rod connectably engages the retainer upon insertion of the support rod to the retainer. Additionally, the retainer may include a bracket having a plurality of sides with at least one of the sides being operable for connection to the form to provide support for the form. An engagement member may be positioned between the sides and serve to engage the support rod extended into the engagement member to provide support from the support beam. A guide surface may extend between the sides of the bracket to the engagement member. Preferably, the engagement member is a threaded nut and the guide surface is preferably shaped like a funnel.
