Overhead beam assembly

Abstract

An overhead beam assembly of a concrete forming system. A wall-mounted self-climbing hoist is releasably secured to a wall section. An overhead beam assembly of a plurality of beam sections is supported on the hoist by columns. The overhead beam assembly includes a plurality of hubs that interconnect the beam sections to present a planar top surface and an assembly that is only as thick as a singly beam section. The novel overhead beam assembly has a substantially flat top surface and a single beam thickness.

1 . An overhead beam assembly of a concrete forming system, comprising: 
 (a) a wall mounting releasably secured to a wall section;    (b) a plurality of beam sections;    (c) a hub that is releasably attached to one or more of the beam sections to form an assembly having a substantially flat top surface and a single beam thickness; and    (d) columns for supporting on the assembly on the wall mounting.    
   
   
       2 . The overhead beam assembly as defined in  claim 1 , further comprising forms for forming a wall section suspended from the assembly for movement between a working, set position and a stripped position.
