AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

For example, existing lifts typically contain multiple articulated assemblies and / or are complex to maneuver and operate, and are generally quite heavy
In addition, some lifts do not significantly reduce labor expenditure for manual positioning because it requires one person to operate the lift at all times to hold the build panels in the desired position while another worker secures the panels in place for installation
Without a second worker, a single worker using a traditional build panel lift risks damaging the panels and / or inaccurately positioning or installing them

Embodiment Construction

[0023] exist Figure 1 to Figure 13 An exemplary embodiment of a building panel positioning and support system 50 comprising one or more building panel positioning tools (indicated generally at 10 ) and one or more building panel support tools (indicated generally at 40 ) and individual tools thereof is shown in . As described in more detail below, the tools of the system are collectively and individually adapted to assist a user in mobilizing and / or temporarily supporting construction panels (eg, drywall panels) at desired locations adjacent to installation locations to which they are subsequently installed.

[0024] In general, positioning tools 10 are each adapted to engage a structural component of a building structure and / or by, for example, being removably or temporarily secured to a wall or ceiling joist and / or to a building panel already installed thereon. Supported on structural components of the building structure. Once the supports are in place, the positioning too...

Abstract

A construction panel support tool includes a suspension frame having a mounting member to mount the tool to a ceiling joist adjacent a construction panel installation site and a guide member coupled thereto. An elongate support member movably supported on the guide member is movable relative thereto between a deployed position in which a distal portion of the support member extends beneath the panel installation site, and a standby position. The tool may include a locking member selectively engageable to retain the support member in a desired position, such as a deployed position, and may optionally include a biasing member selectively engageable to bias the distal portion of the support member toward the panel installation site.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Official Patent Application No. 13041172 filed on March 4, 2011 and US Official Patent Application No. 13094653 filed on April 26, 2011. The entire disclosures of these applications are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to building construction and, in particular, to tools positioned to aid in lifting and supporting construction panels for installation purposes. Background technique [0004] In building construction, sheets of drywall, as well as other types of construction panels such as plywood, paneling, other forms of wall paneling, etc., are often installed to ceiling and wall joists. However, the building panels can be large and somewhat cumbersome for positioning in the installation. Drywall, for example, usually consists of a layer of crushed plaster pressed between two thick sheets of paper. A sta...
