System and Method for an Edge Clamp and Railing

Abstract

An apparatus for an edge clamp and railing on a construction floor having a vertical post with a fixed extended tab or an L-shaped mount with a vertical and horizontal surface, a moveable L-shaped mount with a vertical slot, a cam lever movably attached to the post with a rotation pin inserted through an aperture in the movable L-shaped mount for engagement to a floor between moveable L-shaped mount and the fixed extended tab or L-shaped mount, and a locking pin affixed through the cam lever into a seat mounted on the movable L-shaped mount. The moveable mount is selectively engaged in apertures in the post. The opposing mounts may have a plurality of convex stabilizer to engage the floor surfaces, and the cam has a set pin. The lower mount may have a loop for attachment of a safety cord and the post may have a railing mounted therein.

         9 . The apparatus for an edge clamp and railing as claimed in  claim 8  wherein the cam lever has a slot for insertion of a tool. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus for an edge clamp and railing as claimed in  claim 8  further comprising a cotter pin on the pin for engagement to the post. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus for an edge clamp and railing as claimed in  claim 8  further comprising a loop extended from the fixed extended L-shaped mount. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus for an edge clamp and railing as claimed in  claim 11  further comprising a tie connected to the loop. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus for an edge clamp and railing as claimed in  claim 8  further comprising an insertable railing in the post. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus for an edge clamp and railing as claimed in  claim 8  wherein the valve movable L-shaped mount is moved by turning of the cam lever against a upper horizontal surface of the mount. 
     
     
         15 . An apparatus for an edge clamp and railing comprising:
 a. a vertical post having a fixed extended tab or an L-shaped mount, the L-shaped mount having a vertical and horizontal surface;   b. a moveable L-shaped mount having a vertical slot on the vertical surface of the movable L-shaped mount;   c. a cam lever movably attached to the post with a rotation pin inserted through an aperture in the movable L-shaped mount for engagement to a floor between moveable L-shaped mount and the fixed extended tab or L-shaped mount; and   d. a locking pin affixed through the cam lever into a seat mounted on the movable L-shaped mount.
