ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a new concrete forming system and components therefor, particularly adapted for forming of vaulted ceilings and for use in buildings wherein the floors at the edges thereof have upwardly extending sills and/or wherein the ceilings have been dropped by a similar ledge or sill thereby significantly reducing the clear area through which a truss can be removed. The truss comprises a top chord and a bottom chord interconnected by upright members and diagonal bracing members. A number of adjustable extension legs are associated with the upright members and are telescopically received within an upright member such that a leg extending to the upper side of the truss can overlap with a leg extending to the lower side of the truss, whereby the legs extending above the truss can be adjusted and maintained independent of the legs extending below the truss. In contrast to the prior art practice of having the upper chord of the truss at the lowest level of the ceiling with "packing" thereabove to define and support the concrete forming surface. The present system provides load collecting support beams adjustably secured above the upper chord of the truss by extendable legs whereby the position of the support beam can vary relative to the top chord of the truss. The height of the truss is used to accommodate the extendable legs which position the truss above the floor as well as the extendable legs supporting the load collecting beam, whereby the amount of packing and the time required to initially set up the system for a given building are reduced. Therefore, the present invention relates to improvements in flying forms and components thereof and in particular to a system which is more flexible and adjustable for the forming of vaulted ceilings.
