ABSTRACT:
A simplified universal beam hanger suitable for concrete and steel beams, includes a pair of L-shape members each having notched vertical legs and horizontal legs. Adjustable spring clips fit on the notched vertical legs and project inwardly to bear on a portion of the beam. The clips have spread or angularly related spring legs and each has a hole which will telescope over the notched vertical leg only when each of the spring legs are pressed toward [a position] one another such that each of the spring legs are positioned generally normal to the vertical leg of the L-shape members. The clip has a bearing fulcrum which requires the load to be relieved before both legs of the clip can be pressed together and any vertical adjustment made. The horizontal legs of the L-shape members telescope into a housing beneath the beam and are maintained parallel and adjacent each other. The housing is formed from a single piece of sheet metal and has a clamp and confining windows at each end. One or more loads may be suspended therefrom as by threaded rod or wire, or supported at the side of the beam. The hanger is thus quickly adjustable for substantially any beam configuration, both concrete and steel.
