Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A lowering system for lowering ceiling formworks during the removal of formworks of a building ceiling, comprising a reciprocating piston and a support base, and a locking device, wherein the reciprocating piston is slidably mounted in the support base, and can be pushed from an extended working position to a lowered position, and can be locked in the extended position by means of the locking device. The locking device has a pivot bearing and an eccentric lever, wherein the eccentric lever is rotatably mounted in the pivot bearing, and the reciprocating piston and the support base are supported against each other in the working position by means of the eccentric lever.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A lowering device comprising a lifting piston, a support base and a locking apparatus, wherein the lifting piston is slidably mounted in the support base and can be slid from a pushed-out working position into a lowered position and can be locked in the pushed-out working position by means of the locking apparatus, wherein the locking apparatus has a pivot bearing and an eccentric lever, wherein the eccentric lever is rotatably secured in the pivot bearing, and the lifting piston and the support base are supported against one another in the working position by means of the eccentric lever, wherein a con rod element is movably secured to the eccentric lever, the lifting piston being movably connected to the support base by the con rod element and the eccentric lever, wherein the con rod element has two rotary spindles at respective end regions of the con rod element, wherein the two rotary spindles are each mounted in one of the pivot bearings of the eccentric lever and lifting piston. 2. The lowering device according to claim 1 , wherein the eccentric lever is rotatably secured to the support base by means of the pivot bearing. 3. The lowering device according to claim 1 , wherein a support shaft is mounted in the pivot bearing, the eccentric lever forming a crankshaft together with the support shaft. 4. The lowering device according to claim 1 , wherein the locking apparatus has an eccentric-lever holding apparatus. 5. The lowering device according to claim 4 , wherein the eccentric-lever holding apparatus comprises a slide or a locking pin. 6. The lowering device according to claim 5 , wherein the slide has a cuneiform end region for rotating the eccentric lever in the pivot bearing. 7. The lowering device according to claim 1 , wherein the eccentric-lever holding apparatus has a return spring, the slide being secured to the support base by means of the return spring. 8. The lowering device according to claim 1 , wherein the slide has a visible marking for distinguishing between the lowered position and the working position. 9. The lowering device according to claim 1 , wherein the slide has a tool engagement groove. 10. The lowering device according to claim 1 , wherein the lowering device has an actuation means, in the form of a strike plate accessible from the exterior, the lowering device being able to be activated by the actuation of said actuation means. 11. The lowering device according to claim 1 , wherein the support base and/or the lifting piston form a support head at one end, the support head preferably having a roller. 12. The lowering device according to claim 11 , wherein stop knobs are provided on the end of the support base facing the lifting piston. 13. The lowering device according to a claim 1 , wherein the support base has a biasing spring, the lifting piston being pressed in the direction of the working position by means of the biasing spring. 14. A support apparatus for the construction sector, comprising: at least one of the lowering device according to claim 1 . 15. The support apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein the support apparatus is a construction strut comprising a heavy-load strut. 16. A ceiling formwork, comprising: a lowering device according to claim 1 ; and a form lining element, wherein the form lining element is supported by the lowering device. 17. The ceiling formwork according to claim 16 , wherein the form lining element forms an underside of a carriageway slab, the lowering device being arranged on a support apparatus configured as a carriageway slab truss-out. 18. The lowering device of claim 1 , wherein the two rotary spindles are pin-shaped. 19. A lowering device, comprising: a support base; a lifting piston slidably mounted in the support base and being slidable from a pushed-out working position into a lowered position; a locking apparatus configured to lock the lifting piston in the pushed-out working position, the locking apparatus comprising: a pivot bearing, an eccentric lever rotatably secured in the pivot bearing, wherein the lifting piston and the support base are supported against one another in the working position by the eccentric lever, and a con rod element having two rotary spindles at respective end regions and being movably secured to the eccentric lever, the lifting piston being movably connected to the support base by the con rod element and the eccentric lever.
