Abstract

A support head for attachment to a formwork support for creating the formwork for a floor using a large number of floor formwork elements which each have a form surface. The support head has two support portions suitable for supporting at least one pair of adjacent floor formwork elements of the large number of floor formwork elements. The support head has an adjustment device for moving a first support portion into an arrangement in which the floor formwork element which can be mounted on the first support portion can be mounted thereon on at least one subjacent mounting point which is at a lower mounting height than a formwork mounting height. The mounting point of the second support portion remains at the formwork mounting height.

Claims (40)

1. A support head for attachment to a formwork support for creating the formwork for a floor using a plurality of floor formwork elements which each have a form surface; wherein the support head has:

a connecting portion for connecting the support head to a shaft portion of the formwork support;

two support portions configured for supporting at least one pair of adjacent floor formwork elements of the plurality of floor formwork elements such that each one of the floor formwork elements of the adjacent pair can be mounted on each of the support portions on at least one mounting point;

wherein the mounting points have a substantially equal formwork mounting height;

wherein the support head has an adjustment device for moving a first support portion into an arrangement in which the floor formwork element which can be mounted on the first support portion can be mounted thereon on at least one subjacent mounting point which is at a lower mounting height than the formwork mounting height, wherein the adjustment device has a guide configured as a rotary sliding guide having an elongate hole for lowering the first support portion in a vertical direction;

wherein at the lower mounting height, the mounting point of the second support portion remains at the formwork mounting height.

2. The support head according to claim 1 , wherein the adjustment device is configured such that at least one part of the first support portion is lowered by the movement of the first support portion.

3. The support head according to claim 1 , wherein the guide is configured for the movement of the first support portion.

4. The support head according to claim 1 , wherein the elongate hole is formed in one end of the first support portion.

5. The support head according to claim 4 , wherein a pawl is arranged in a rotary bearing of the support head, the pawl resting, in a first end position, on the end of the first support portion having the elongate hole when the first support portion assumes a first bearing position in which the mounting point P 1 of the first support portion is located at the formwork mounting height, the pawl automatically slipping, when the first support portion is lowered, into a second end position, by means of which a second bearing position of the first support portion is immovably secured.

6. The support head according to claim 5 , wherein the pawl has a reach-through opening.

7. The support head according to claim 1 , wherein the adjustment device has a releasable locking device which releasably locks the movement of the first support portion.

8. A floor formwork system, having:

a plurality of formwork supports to each of which a support head according to claim 1 is attached, and

the plurality of floor formwork elements.

9. The floor formwork system according to claim 8 , wherein by mounting the floor formwork elements on the support portions of the support heads, a floor form surface can be formed which covers the formwork supports so as to be horizontally closed.

10. The floor formwork system according to claim 8 , wherein the support head has a moment support which is configured to engage with one of the floor formwork elements when said element is mounted on the second support portion; wherein the moment support is designed to support a torque which is exerted on the support head by a vertical load of the floor formwork element mounted on the second support portion.

11. The floor formwork system according to claim 10 , wherein the moment support has a supporting portion which is configured to horizontally support the second support portion on a floor formwork element mounted thereon.

12. The floor formwork system according to claim 10 , wherein the moment support has two supporting portions which are each designed to horizontally support the second support portion on a floor formwork element mounted thereon;

the two supporting portions supporting the second support portion on the floor formwork element mounted thereon at different heights and in two opposite horizontal directions.

13. The floor formwork system according to claim 8 , wherein the formwork supports each have a height-adjustment means for simultaneously adjusting the height of the first and the second support portion.

14. A method for striking formwork from a floor to be produced using a settable filler material such as concrete;

wherein a floor formwork for an underside of the floor to be produced has a plurality of floor formwork elements and a plurality of formwork supports;

wherein at least one of the formwork supports is connected to the support head of claim 1 , on which at least one pair of adjacent floor formwork elements of the plurality of floor formwork elements is mounted such that each one of the floor formwork elements of the adjacent pair is mounted on each of the support portions on at least one mounting point; wherein the mounting points have a substantially equal formwork mounting height;

wherein the method comprises:

moving a first of the support portions into an arrangement in which the floor formwork element mounted on the first support portion can be mounted on at least one subjacent mounting point which is at a lower mounting height than the formwork mounting height;

wherein at the lower mounting height, the mounting point of the second support portion remains at the formwork mounting height; and

striking the floor formwork element mounted on the first support portion.

15. The method according to claim 14 , wherein the floor formwork element mounted on the first support portion is supported by one or more additional supports;

wherein the striking further comprises:

lowering and removing the at least one additional support.

16. The method according to claim 14 , wherein the striking further comprises disengaging the floor formwork element mounted on the first support portion from the first support portion.

17. The method according to claim 14 , wherein the striking further comprises:

pivoting down the floor formwork element mounted on the first support portion using engagement elements of the first support portion which are in engagement with the pivoted-down floor formwork element during the pivoting down.

18. The method according to claim 14 , comprising:

supporting the floor, in a region of the floor from which the formwork has been struck, against the ground, wherein the region from which the formwork has been struck corresponds to a form surface of the floor formwork element mounted on the first support portion.

19. A support head, comprising:

a connecting portion configured to connect the support head to a shaft portion of a formwork support;

two support portions configured to support at least one pair of adjacent floor formwork elements of a plurality of floor formwork elements such that each one of the pair of adjacent floor formwork elements are mountable on each of the support portions on at least mounting point, wherein the at least one mounting point defines a substantially equal formwork mounting head;

an adjustment device configured to move a first support portion into an arrangement in which the floor formwork element, being mountable on the first support portion, can be mounted thereon on at least one subjacent mounting point which is at a lower mounting height than the formwork mounting height, the adjustment device having a guide configured as a rotary sliding guide having an elongate hole for lowering the first support portion in a vertical direction, wherein at the lower mounting height, the mounting point of the second support portion remains at the formwork mounting height.
