CONSTRUCTION COMPONENT

TECHNICAL FIELD

(associated with or relates to PROP-HEAD ASSEMBLY)

[0001] This document relates to (and is not limited to) the technical field of a construction component with reference to the embodiments of FIG. 1 to FIG. 81, and the construction component may include and is not limited to (with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 30) a prop-head assembly, and/or a prop-head assembly for a vertically-extending construction column and for a horizontal construction beam assembly, and/or a structure (such as a building, a bridge, etc.) having a prop-head assembly, and/or a method associated with a construction component (such as, a prop-head assembly), etc.

BACKGROUND

(associated with or relates to PROP-HEAD ASSEMBLY)

[0002] Shoring is a process of temporarily supporting a structure (such as, a building, a vessel, a trench, etc.) with shores (also called props or supports) when there is a danger of collapse of the structure or during construction, repairs or alterations (of the structure). Shoring may be vertical, angled, or horizontal. For instance, a building component (such as, a prop, a prop assembly, etc.) is an object (also called a support) placed beneath and/or against a structure (or part of the structure) configured to keep (prevent) the structure from falling or shaking, etc. SUMMARY

(associated with or relates to PROP-HEAD ASSEMBLY)

[0003] It will be appreciated that there exists a need to mitigate (at least in part) at least one problem associated with the existing props (also called the existing technology). After much study of the known systems and methods with experimentation, an understanding (at least in part) of the problem and its solution has been identified (at least in part) and is articulated (at least in part) as follows:

[0004] A horizontal construction beam assembly is supportable (configured to be supported) by a beam-locating feature of a prop-head assembly. The prop-head assembly is fixedly attachable to (configured to be fixedly connected to) a vertically-extending construction column. Once the horizontal construction beam assembly is received or supported by the first beam- locating feature of the prop-head assembly, the horizontal construction beam assembly, in use, remains stationary relative to the vertically-extending construction column (and also remains stationary relative to the prop-head assembly).

[0005] However, inadvertent (unwanted) lateral movement of the horizontal construction beam assembly (away from the first beam-locating feature and the vertically-extending construction column) leads to (causes) a dangerous condition in which the horizontal construction beam assembly may fall (drop) away from the prop-head assembly to the working surface. It is a potentially dangerous case where the horizontal construction beam assembly becomes inadvertently or accidentally displaced from (moved away from) the first beam- locating feature of the prop-head assembly, which may lead to unwanted injury to workers, damage to the construction site and/or delay in construction scheduling.

[0006] In view of the foregoing, to mitigate the above problem, what may be needed is an assembly providing (configured to provide) a fail-safe feature. The fail-safe feature reduces (is configured to reduce) (at least in part) inadvertent displacement of a beam assembly once the beam assembly is placed in a relatively stationary position (in which the beam assembly may be utilized as part of a structure).

[0007] In view of the foregoing, to mitigate the above problem, what may be needed is a prop- head assembly including (and is not limited to) a first beam-locating feature and a second beam- locating feature, in which the second beam-locating feature is receivable of (is configured to receive) the beam-reference portion of the horizontal construction beam assembly once the horizontal construction beam assembly is inadvertently displaced (moved) away from the first beam-locating feature and toward the second beam-locating feature.

[0008] To mitigate, at least in part, at least one problem associated with the existing technology, there is provided (in accordance with a major aspect) an apparatus. The apparatus is provided for a column, and for a horizontal construction beam assembly having a beam- reference portion. The apparatus includes and is not limited to (comprises) a prop-head assembly fixedly connectable (configured to be fixedly connected) to the column. The prop-head assembly also supports (is also configured to support), at least in part, the horizontal construction beam assembly once the prop-head assembly is fixedly connected to the column. The prop-head assembly includes (and is not limited to) a first beam-locating feature selectively receives (is configured to selectively receive), at least in part, the beam-reference portion. The prop-head assembly also includes (and is not limited to) a second beam-locating feature that is spaced apart from the first beam-locating feature. The second beam-locating feature selectively receives (is configured to selectively receive), at least in part, the beam-reference portion. The second beam- locating feature receives (is configured to receive) the beam-reference portion of the horizontal construction beam assembly once the beam-reference portion of the horizontal construction beam assembly is inadvertently displaced away from the first beam-locating feature and from the column and toward the second beam-locating feature. [0009] To mitigate, at least in part, at least one problem associated with the existing technology, there is provided (in accordance with a major aspect) an apparatus. The apparatus is provided for a column, and for a horizontal construction beam assembly having a beam- reference portion. The apparatus includes and is not limited to (comprises) a prop-head assembly that is fixedly connectable to (configured to be fixedly connected to) the column. The prop-head assembly also supports (is also configured to support), at least in part, the horizontal construction beam assembly once the prop-head assembly is fixedly connected to the column. The prop-head assembly includes (and is not limited to) a first beam-locating feature selectively receives (configured to selectively receive) the beam-reference portion of the horizontal construction beam assembly (this is done in such a way that the first beam-locating feature, in use, locates the beam-reference portion of the horizontal construction beam assembly at a first stationary position relative to the column once the first beam-locating feature, in use, selectively receives the beam-reference portion). The prop-head assembly also includes (and is not limited to) a second beam-locating feature spaced apart from the first beam-locating feature. The second beam-locating feature selectively receives (is configured to selectively receive) the beam- reference portion of the horizontal construction beam assembly (this is done in such a way that the second beam-locating feature, in use, locates the beam-reference portion of the horizontal construction beam assembly at a second stationary position relative to the column once the second beam-locating feature, in use, selectively receives the beam-reference portion). The second beam-locating feature also receives (is also configured to receive) the beam-reference portion of the horizontal construction beam assembly once the beam-reference portion of the horizontal construction beam assembly is inadvertently displaced away from the first beam- locating feature and also displaced away from the column.

[0010] To mitigate, at least in part, at least one problem associated with the existing technology, there is provided (in accordance with a major aspect) a method. The method is for the operating a prop-head assembly provided for a column, and for a horizontal construction beam assembly having a beam-reference portion. The method includes and is not limited to (comprises) fixedly connecting the prop-head assembly to the column. The method also includes (and is not limited to) using the prop-head assembly to support, at least in part, the horizontal construction beam assembly once the prop-head assembly is fixedly connected to the column. The method also includes (and is not limited to) selectively receiving, at least in part, the beam- reference portion at a first beam-locating feature of the prop-head assembly. The method also includes (and is not limited to) selectively receiving, at least in part, the beam-reference portion at a second beam-locating feature, in which the second beam-locating feature is spaced apart from the first beam-locating feature. The method also includes (and is not limited to) receiving the beam-reference portion at the second beam-locating feature once the beam-reference portion is inadvertently displaced away from the first beam-locating feature and from the column and toward the second beam-locating feature.

[0011] To mitigate, at least in part, at least one problem associated with the existing technology, there is provided (in accordance with a major aspect) an apparatus. The apparatus includes and is not limited to (comprises) a structure. The structure may include a home, a building, a vessel, a bridge, a trench, a man-made formation, etc., and any equivalent thereof. The structure includes (and is not limited to) a synergistic combination of assemblies, etc., such as a vertically-extending construction column is positionable (configured to be positionable) on a working surface (this is done in such a way that the vertically-extending construction column, in use, extends vertically above the working surface once the vertically-extending construction column, in use, is positioned on the working surface). The structure also includes (and is not limited to) a horizontal construction beam assembly having a beam-reference portion. The structure also includes (and is not limited to) a prop-head assembly fixedly connectable (configured to be fixedly connected) to the vertically-extending construction column. The prop- head assembly supports (is also configured to support), at least in part, the horizontal construction beam assembly once the prop-head assembly is fixedly connected to the vertically- extending construction column.

[0064] FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 depict a perspective view (FIG. 1) and a close-up perspective view (FIG. 2) of embodiments of a prop-head assembly 102. The prop-head assembly 102 is supportive of (is configured to support) (at least in part) a structure 700, and/or to provide assistance for the support of the weight of (or an aspect of) the structure 700 (or an aspect of the structure 700).

[0065] In accordance with the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, an apparatus 100 is provided for a vertically-extending construction column 900 (hereafter referred to as the column 900), and any equivalent thereof. The apparatus 100 is also provided for a horizontal construction beam assembly 902 and any equivalent thereof) having a beam-reference portion 904 (and any equivalent thereof, such as a beam pin, etc.). For the sake of easing the detailed description of the embodiments, the horizontal construction beam assembly 902 will be referred to as the beam 902. The beam-reference portion 904 may be called a beam-terminus location, a pin, or a beam pin, etc., and any equivalent thereof. The apparatus 100 includes and is not limited to (comprises) a prop-head assembly 102. The prop-head assembly 102 is utilized (configured to be utilized) (for construction) and/or installed (in combination with the column 900 and beam 902) in a structure 700 to be constructed (such as, a building, a bridge, etc., and any equivalent thereof). An embodiment of the structure 700 is partially depicted (under construction) in the embodiment of FIG. 1. The structure 700 may include (and is not limited to) a home, a building, a vessel, a bridge, a trench, a man-made formation, etc., and any equivalent thereof.

[0066] It will be appreciated that the apparatus 100 may be utilized as a temporary structure for forming a floor (poured concrete floor) of the structure 700; once the floor is formed, the apparatus 1100 may be removed, and relocated on the newly formed floor, so that, in this manner, the apparatus 1100 may be further utilized in the formation of another new floor to be located over the newly formed floor of the structure 700.

[0067] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 1, the prop-head assembly 102, preferably, is provided for the column 900. An embodiment of the column 900 is partially depicted in the embodiment of FIG. 1. The column 900 is to be utilized or installed in the structure 700. For the sake of easing the detailed description of the embodiments, the vertically- extending construction column 900 is hereafter referred to as the column 900.

[0068] The structure 700 includes a working surface 701 (such as, a horizontal structural floor) on which the column 900 is positioned and extends therefrom. The structure 700 includes at least one instance of a structural wall 703 (also called a vertically extending wall). The vertically-extending construction column 900 is positionable (configured to be positionable) on the working surface 701 (this is done in such a way that the vertically-extending construction column 900, in use, extends vertically above the working surface 701 once the vertically- extending construction column 900, in use, is positioned on the working surface 701).

[0069] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 1, the prop-head assembly 102, preferably, is provided for the beam 902 having the beam-reference portion 904. The beam 902 is to be utilized (in the construction of), or installed in, the structure 700.

[0070] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 1, the prop-head assembly 102, preferably, is fixedly connectable (configured to be fixedly connected) to (an upper portion of) the column 900. The prop-head assembly 102 supports (is also configured to support), at least in part, the beam 902 (once the prop-head assembly 102 is fixedly connected to the column 900). Preferably, the prop-head assembly 102 is fixedly connectable (configured to be fixedly connectable) to a top section (distal end section) of the column 900. More preferably, the prop- head assembly 102 is fixedly connectable (configured to be fixedly connected) to the column 900 in such a way that the prop-head assembly 102 is not selectively movable along a length of the column 900.

[0071] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 1, a concrete slab 950 is formed (positioned) in a frame assembly 952 (for instance, this is done by pouring cement into the frame assembly 952, and allowing the cement to harden to form the concrete slab 950). The beam 902 includes a frame-engagement device 954. The frame-engagement device 954 may be called or include upstanding ribs, a row of ribs, a double row of spaced apart ribs, etc., and any equivalent thereof. The frame-engagement device 954 extends, at least in part, along a length of the top section of beam 902. The frame-engagement device 954 selectively and securely engages (is configured to selectively and securely engage) with a lower section of the frame assembly 952. Preferably, the frame assembly 952 defines spaced apart channels for receiving (configured to receive) the ribs of the frame-engagement device 954. This is done in such a way that the frame assembly 952, in use, securely spans across and between (and selectively engages with) spaced apart instances of the beam 902 (which are aligned parallel with each other). In this way, a horizontal floor section may be constructed for the structure 700.

[0072] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 1, the prop-head assembly 102, the beam 902 and the column 900 include strength components, such as metal components, made with a suitable material or materials (such as, a metal alloy, etc.) having sufficient strength characteristics needed to support the structure 700 (once the structure 700 is built). For instance, the strength component may include steel, wood, and/or reinforced concrete, etc.

[0073] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 2, the beam 902 includes (or is) a primary beam 802 (also called a first horizontal construction beam assembly, construction beam assembly, or beam assembly). The primary beam 802 includes (is) a beam used as (configured as) a main horizontal support in a structure. The primary beam 802 may also be called (or is) a first primary beam, a first primary beam support, a girder, etc., and any equivalent thereof. For the sake of easing the detailed description of the embodiments, the primary beam 802 will be referred to as the primary beam 802 (for consistency of description).

[0074] The beam 902 includes (or is) a crossbeam 804 (also called a second horizontal construction beam assembly, etc.). The crossbeam 804 includes (is) a horizontal structural beam that runs (is aligned) perpendicular to the primary beam 802. The crossbeam 804 may also be called (or is) a secondary beam, a secondary girder, a crossbeam, a transverse beam, etc., and any equivalent thereof. For the sake of easing the detailed description of the embodiments, the crossbeam 804 will be referred to as the crossbeam 804 (for consistency of description).

[0075] The primary beam 802 (the primary beam) and the crossbeam 804 (the secondary beam or the cross beam) are to be positioned orthogonal relative to each other on a horizontal plane (forming a matrix pattern having matrix junctions as depicted in the embodiments of FIG. 1 and/or FIG. 2), on which the horizontal structural floor (as depicted in the embodiment of FIG. 1), which is formed by a plurality of the frame assembly 952 and the concrete slab 950, is positioned (securely positioned) thereon.

[0076] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 2, the prop-head assembly 102 may be utilized or deployed for at least three scenarios or cases.

[0077] For instance, in accordance with a first deployment scenario (which is depicted in the embodiment of FIG. 10 and/or the embodiment of FIG. 12), the prop-head assembly 102 is positioned underneath a junction zone (matrix junction), in which the junction zone is positioned below (and supports) the end portions of end-to-end facing instances (the end portions) of the beam 902 (or the primary beam 802 or the crossbeam 804, as the case may be) are positioned to face each other in an end-to-end relationship (preferably at about 90 degrees relative to each construction beam in an orthogonal relationship). Preferably, the end portions of the instance of the beam 902 are positioned adjacent to each other in a close relationship (a proximate relationship or adjacent spatial position).

[0078] For instance, in accordance with a second deployment scenario (which is depicted in the embodiment of FIG. 11), the prop-head assembly 102 is positioned underneath (and contacts and supports) the bottom section of the beam 902, such as midway between the end sections of the beam 902 (or the primary beam 802 or the crossbeam 804, as the case may be).

[0079] For instance, in accordance with a third deployment scenario (which is depicted in the embodiment of FIG. 24 and/or the embodiment of FIG. 27), the prop-head assembly 102 is positioned underneath (and supports) a junction zone, in which the junction zone is positioned below (and supports) the end portion of the crossbeam 804, and the end portion of the crossbeam 804 is positioned to face a sidewall of the primary beam 802. Preferably, the end portion of the crossbeam 804 is positioned adjacent to the sidewall of the primary beam 802 in a close relationship or a proximate relationship. [0080] FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 depict a side view (FIG. 3), a side view (FIG. 4), and an end view (FIG. 5) of embodiments of a beam 902 usable (configured to be utilized) with (or installed to) an embodiment of the prop-head assembly 102 of FIG. 1 and/or FIG. 2.

[0081] Referring to the embodiments as depicted in FIG. 3 and/or FIG. 4, the beam 902 has (includes) opposite end portions. Each of the opposite end portions includes a beam-reference portion 904 and a beam end support 906. The beam-reference portion 904 is selectively spatially located proximate (configured to be selectively spatially located proximate) to any one of the first beam-locating feature 104 and the second beam-locating feature 106 of the prop-head assembly 102 (which are depicted in the embodiment of FIG. 8 and/or the embodiment of FIG. 9). The beam end support 906 is affixed to the end portions of beam 902. The beam-reference portion 904 is positioned (located) in the beam end support 906. The beam end support 906 is positioned at the opposite end sections (opposite end portions) of beam 902. The beam end support 906 receives and supports (is configured to receive and support) the beam-reference portion 904. The beam 902 securely receives and holds (is configured to securely receive and hold) the beam end support 906 at the spaced apart distal end sections of beam 902. The weight of the beam 902 is to be transferred (at least in part) to the opposite ends of the beam 902 to the beam end support 906 (which is positioned at the opposite ends of beam 902). The weight of the beam 902 is transferred (at least in part) to the prop-head assembly 102 via the beam end support 906 (which is positioned at the opposite ends of beam 902).

[0082] Preferably, the weight of the horizontal construction beam assembly 902 is transferred, at least in part, to the prop-head assembly 102 via the beam end support 906, in which the beam end support 906 is positioned at the opposite ends of the horizontal construction beam assembly 902 (once the beam end support 906 of the horizontal construction beam assembly 902, in use, contacts, at least in part (either directly or indirectly), the prop-head assembly 102).

[0083] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 3, the beam 902 includes a primary beam 802. The primary beam 802 includes a beam-reference portion 904 and abeam end support 906. The primary beam 802 has, preferably, a flat end portion that is aligned parallel to the vertical direction (once the primary beam 802 is positioned horizontally or along a horizontal direction).

[0084] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 4, the beam 902 includes a crossbeam 804 (also called a cross beam). In accordance with an option, the end sections of the primary beam 802 (as depicted in the embodiment of FIG. 3) and the crossbeam 804 may be the same shape or profile, etc., if so desired. The crossbeam 804 includes a beam-reference portion 904 and a beam end support 906. The crossbeam 804 has, preferably, a tapered end portion that is aligned at an angle 912 that intersects the vertical direction (once the crossbeam 804 is positioned horizontally or along the horizontal direction).

[0085] Referring to the embodiments as depicted in FIG. 3 and/or FIG. 4, a preferred difference between the primary beam 802 (as depicted in the embodiment of FIG. 3) and the crossbeam 804 (as depicted in the embodiment of FIG. 4) is that the primary beam 802 has, preferably, a flat end portion (for the opposite end sections of the primary beam 802), while the crossbeam 804 has, preferably, a tapered end portion (for the opposite end sections of the crossbeam 804). The reason for the tapered end section of the crossbeam 804 is evident in view of the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 12, in which case the end portion of the crossbeam 804 is tapered to avoid physical interference with the primary beam 802 once the crossbeam 804 and the primary beam 802 are mounted to the prop-head assembly 102 (or the first prop-head assembly 202).

[0089] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 5, the beam 902 (the primary beam 802 and the crossbeam 804) has a rectangular cross-sectional profile. The beam 902 receives and supports (is configured to receive and support the beam end support 906. The beam- reference portion 904 receives (is configured to be received) in the interior of the beam end support 906 (preferably via the beam-terminus receiver 905 defined by the beam end support 906). [0090] Referring to the embodiments as depicted in FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and/or FIG. 5, the beam end support 906 is affixed (is configured to be affixed) to the end portion of beam 902. For instance, the beam end support 906 may be welded to the end portion of beam 902, etc.

[0092] Referring to the embodiments as depicted in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the beam end support 906 provides (defines) a cavity 918 (hollow interior that is accessible from the exterior). This is done in such a way that the cavity 918, in use, exposes the beam-reference portion 904 to the exterior once the beam-reference portion 904 is received by the beam end support 906. In this manner, the beam-reference portion 904 may make contact with a portion of the prop-head assembly 102 (or with the first prop-head assembly 202 or the second prop-head assembly 302, as the case may be, with reference to the embodiments as depicted in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, which depict embodiments of the prop-head assembly 102).

[0093] The beam end support 906 may be integrated with (to) the beam 902 (as depicted in the embodiment of FIG. 3). For convenience, the beam end support 906 is machined with specific features for interacting with the beam-reference portion 904 and the beam lock assembly 907.

The load-receiving feature 114 receives and supports (is configured to receive and support) the load (the weight) of beam 902, preferably at a central zone of the load-receiving feature 114. The load-receiving feature 114 supports (is configured to support, at least in part), in use, the weight of the beam 902 or the beams to be placed and received by the prop-head assembly 102, etc.

[0113] Referring to the embodiments as depicted in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, the prop-head assembly 102 (or the first prop-head assembly 202) includes a first locator plate assembly 502 and a second locator plate assembly 504 that is positioned relative to the first locator plate assembly 502. Preferably, the first locator plate assembly 502 and the second locator plate assembly 504 are positioned at right angles to each other in an orthogonal relationship (relative to each other). The first locator plate assembly 502 and the second locator plate assembly 504 are (or include) formed plates. The shackle assembly 110 is connectable to (is configured to connect to) (the lower sections of) the first locator plate assembly 502 and the second locator plate assembly 504. The first locator plate assembly 502 and the second locator plate assembly 504 each extends across, at least in part, the prop base 112.

[0115] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 14, a lock assembly 116 is connectable to (is configured to couple, securely connect, to) the prop base 112 (also called a prop base plate) to the column portion 903 and the vertically-extending construction column 900. The lock assembly 116 includes a cylindrical tube (also called a cylindrical tube retainer or elongated tube). The cylindrical tube has an outer diameter that is sized to be received (at least in part) in the central hole defined in the column portion 903 (also called a column plate) of the vertically- extending construction column 900 (for preferably close fit there between). The cylindrical tube improves the fit between the lock assembly 116 and the column portion 903. The cylindrical tube defines a vertically extending slot that is configured to receive the retainer clip. The vertically extending slot extends between opposite sides of the cylindrical tube. An elongated lock pin connects (couples) the retainer clip to a central portion of the cylindrical tube (once the retainer clip is received, at least in part, in the elongated slot of the cylindrical tube). The lock pin permits pivotal movement of the retainer clip relative to the cylindrical tube (once the retainer clip is received, at least in part, in or by the cylindrical tube). The lock pin also couples the spring member with the retainer clip. The spring member biases the retainer clip so that the teeth (provided by the retainer clip) engage the side (edge) of the central hole defined by the prop base 112 (once the lock pin couples the spring member with the retainer clip, and the lock pin couples the retainer clip with the cylindrical tube). The action of the spring member is (the spring member is biased) to keep or maintain the engagement between the teeth of the retainer clip and the edge (side edge) of the central hole defined by the prop base 112 (in this manner, the prop-head assembly 102 may remain attached to the column portion 903 of the vertically- extending construction column 900). It will be appreciated that the retainer clip may be moved (by a user, to oppose the action of the spring member) to thereby release the engagement between the teeth of the retainer clip and the edge of the central hole defined by the prop base 112 (in this manner, the prop-head assembly 102 may be selectively detached from the column portion 903 of the vertically-extending construction column 900).

[0184] TECHNICAL FIELD (associated with or relates to CONCRETE-SLAB FRAME ASSEMBLY FOR CONSTRUCTION BEAM ASSEMBLY)

[0185] This document relates to (and is not limited to) the technical field of a construction component with reference to the embodiments of FIG. 1 to FIG. 81, and the construction component may include and is not limited to (with reference to FIG. 31 to FIG. 53) a concrete- slab frame assembly for a construction beam assembly for utilization with a construction beam assembly (and/or a method associated with a concrete-slab frame assembly for utilization with a construction beam assembly).

[0186] BACKGROUND (associated with or relates to CONCRETE-SLAB FRAME ASSEMBLY FOR CONSTRUCTION BEAM ASSEMBLY)

[0187] Shoring is a process of temporarily supporting a structure (such as, a building, a vessel, a trench, etc.) with shores (also called props or supports) when there is a danger of collapse of the structure or during construction, repairs or alterations (of the structure). Shoring may be vertical, angled, or horizontal. For instance, a building component (such as, a prop, a prop assembly, etc.) is an object (also called a support) placed beneath and/or against a structure (or part of the structure) configured to keep (prevent) the structure from falling or shaking, etc.

[0188] SUMMARY (associated with or relates to CONCRETE-SLAB FRAME ASSEMBLY FOR CONSTRUCTION BEAM ASSEMBLY):

[0189] It will be appreciated that there exists a need to mitigate (at least in part) at least one problem associated with the existing concrete-slab frames utilized with construction beams (also called the existing technology). After much study of the known systems and methods with experimentation, an understanding (at least in part) of the problem and its solution has been identified (at least in part) and is articulated (at least in part) as follows:

[0190] Placement of a concrete-slab frame assembly on a construction beam assembly can be a difficult proposition. Typically, the construction beam assembly is connected to a prop-head, and the construction beam assembly is aligned horizontally between prop-heads (once the construction beam assembly is mounted to the prop-heads).

[0191] For some cases, the construction beam assembly must be aligned non -horizontally at an angle in which the construction beam assembly is sloped relative to the horizontal (the horizon), and then the concrete-slab frame assembly is placed on the construction beam assembly once the construction beam assembly is aligned non-horizontally. For instance, it may be desired to facilitate drainage of water from the surface of the concrete-slab frame assembly, and so the non-horizontal alignment of the construction beam assembly is required. Placement of the concrete-slab frame assembly on the construction beam assembly that is non-horizontally aligned may be a challenge.

[0192] The definition of horizontal is "of or relating to the apparent junction of earth and sky; situated near the horizon".

[0193] To mitigate, at least in part, at least one problem associated with the existing technology, there is provided (in accordance with a major aspect) an apparatus. The apparatus is for (is configured for) utilization with a first construction beam assembly, a prop-head assembly, and a vertically-extending construction column. The apparatus includes and is not limited to (comprises) a first concrete-slab frame assembly having synergistic technical features (synergistic configurations). The first concrete-slab frame assembly receives and supports (is configured to receive and support), at least in part, a first formed concrete slab. The first concrete-slab frame assembly, in use, receives and supports the first formed concrete slab. The first concrete-slab frame assembly is slidably positionable on, and movable along, the first construction beam assembly. The first concrete-slab frame assembly has a first frame-abutment feature. The first construction beam assembly is pivotally mountable to the prop-head assembly. The first construction beam assembly has the first beam-abutment feature. The prop-head assembly is affixed to (is affixable to, is configured to be affixed) to the vertically-extending construction column (that is, extend vertically relative to the horizon). The vertically-extending construction column is fixedly positioned (configured to be fixedly positioned, is fixedly positionable) to the working surface. The first frame-abutment feature of the first concrete-slab frame assembly is slide movable relative to the first beam-abutment feature of the first construction beam assembly in response to the pivotal movement of the first construction beam assembly relative to the prop-head assembly. In accordance with an embodiment, the apparatus is adapted such that the first frame-abutment feature of the first concrete-slab frame assembly is slide movable relative (is configured to be slide movable) to the first beam-abutment feature of the first construction beam assembly in response to the pivotal movement of the first construction beam assembly relative to the prop-head assembly. The pivotal movement is done once: (A) the vertically-extending construction column, in use, is fixedly positioned to the working surface; and (B) the prop-head assembly, in use, is affixed to the vertically-extending construction column; and (C) the first construction beam assembly, in use, is pivotally mounted to the prop-head assembly; and (D) the first concrete-slab frame assembly, in use, is positioned on the first construction beam assembly; and (E) the first construction beam assembly, in use, is pivotally moved (pivoted) while being pivotally mounted to the prop-head assembly. [0194] To mitigate, at least in part, at least one problem associated with the existing technology, there is provided (in accordance with a major aspect) an apparatus. The apparatus includes and is not limited to (comprises) a synergistic combination of a vertically-extending construction column, a prop-head assembly, a first construction beam assembly, and a first concrete-slab frame assembly. The vertically-extending construction column is fixedly positioned (is configured to be fixedly positioned, is fixedly positionable) to the working surface. The prop-head assembly is affixed (is configured to be affixed, is affixable) to the vertically-extending construction column. A first construction beam assembly is pivotally mountable (is pivotally mounted, is configured to be pivotally mounted) to the prop-head assembly. The first construction beam assembly has (includes) a first beam-abutment feature. The first concrete-slab frame assembly receives and supports (is configured to receive and support), at least in part, a first formed concrete slab. The first concrete-slab frame assembly, in use, receives and supports the first formed concrete slab. The first concrete-slab frame assembly is slidably positionable on, and movable along, the first construction beam assembly. The first concrete-slab frame assembly is positonable on and movable along (is configured to be slidably positionable on and movable along), at least in part, the first construction beam assembly. The first concrete-slab frame assembly has (includes) a first frame-abutment feature. The first frame- abutment feature of the first concrete-slab frame assembly is slide movable (is configured to be slide movable) relative to the first beam-abutment feature of the first construction beam assembly in response to the pivotal movement of the first construction beam assembly relative to the prop-head assembly. In accordance with an embodiment, the apparatus is adapted such that the first frame-abutment feature of the first concrete-slab frame assembly is slide movable (is configured to be slide movable) relative to the first beam-abutment feature of the first construction beam assembly in response to the pivotal movement of the first construction beam assembly relative to the prop-head assembly.

It will be appreciated that once horizontally aligned, the first construction beam assembly 1106A and the second construction beam assembly 1106B may be locked out (affixed in a horizontal alignment) by utilization of lock-out devices, which are known and not depicted. The first concrete-slab frame assembly 1110A and the second concrete-slab frame assembly 1110B are positioned on a top surface (top section) of the first top beam portion 1114A and the second top beam portion 1114B (respectively), or on top of the first construction beam assembly 1106A and the second construction beam assembly 1106B (respectively).

The second concrete-slab frame assembly 1110B provides a second camming surface 1126B (a smooth, curved camming surface) positioned along a lateral side section of the second concrete- slab frame assembly 1 HOB. In accordance with an option, the first camming surface 1126A and the second camming surface 1126B contact each other at a contact point 1128 (also called a pivot point). In accordance with another option, a frame edge gap 1130 is formed between the first camming surface 1126A and the second camming surface 1126B. Preferably, the size of the frame edge gap 1130 is zero or may have an acceptable size range (such as, from about 0.0 millimeters to about 0.2 millimeters, etc.). The frame edge gap 1130 is sized (configured) to prevent (substantially prevent) leakage of freshly poured concrete between the first concrete- slab frame assembly 1110A and second concrete-slab frame assembly 1110B, which are adjacently positioned against each other in a contact relationship. In the event of leakage of fresh concrete from the skim coat 1124, the leakage travels along a leakage drop direction 1132 (between the frame edge gap 1130 formed between the lateral side edges of the first concrete- slab frame assembly 1110A and the second concrete-slab frame assembly 1110B).

A second face end of the second construction beam assembly 1106B forms a second angle 1140B relative to the vertical line 1146 (once the first construction beam assembly 1106A is pivotally moved or rotated). [0257] Referring to the embodiments as depicted in FIG. 43 and FIG. 49, the first concrete- slab frame assembly 1110A has a top frame portion 1129. The first concrete-slab frame assembly 1110A is pivotally movable between: (A) a first position in which the top frame portion is aligned along a first angle above the horizontal (the horizon) once the first construction beam assembly 1106A is pivotally moved upwardly; and (B) a second position in which the top frame portion is aligned along a second angle below the horizontal (the horizon) once the first construction beam assembly 1106A is pivotally moved downwardly.

[0258] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 43, the first concrete-slab frame assembly 1110A is placed on top of the first top beam portion 1114A (or the first construction beam assembly 1106A). The second concrete-slab frame assembly 1110B is placed on top of the second top beam portion 1114B (or the second construction beam assembly 1106B). The first construction beam assembly 1106A is pivotally moved downwardly (relative to the prop- head assembly 1104) along a first pivot direction 1142A. The second construction beam assembly 1106B is pivotally moved downwardly (relative to the prop-head assembly 1104) along a second pivot direction 1142B.

[0259] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 44 (which depicts a top view), the first beam-abutment feature 1108A and the second beam-abutment feature 1108B are positioned on opposite edges of the first top beam portion 1114A. The first beam-abutment feature 1108A and the second beam-abutment feature 1108B are positioned on opposite edges of the second top beam portion 1114B. The cross-sectional line B-B extends along an end length of the first top beam portion 1114A and the second top beam portion 1114B (between the first beam- abutment feature 1108A and the second beam-abutment feature 1108B).

[0260] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 45 (which depicts a cross-sectional view taken along the cross-sectional line B-B of FIG. 44), the first concrete-slab frame assembly 1110A and the second concrete-slab frame assembly 1110B are placed in an abutment relationship with each other along respective lateral side edges of the first concrete-slab frame assembly 1110A and the second concrete-slab frame assembly 1110B. Each of the first concrete- slab frame assembly 1110A and the second concrete-slab frame assembly 1110B, in use, contacts the first top beam portion 1114A and the second top beam portion 1114B (respectively). It will be appreciated, in general terms, the first beam-abutment feature 1108A makes contact with the first frame-abutment feature 1112A of the first concrete-slab frame assembly 1110A (that is, at an abutment or abutting contact) once the first construction beam assembly 1106A is pivotally rotated to a predetermined angle. [0261] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 45, on the right side of FIG. 45, an instance of the first beam-abutment feature 1108A makes contact with (abuts) the second frame- abutment feature 1112B (of the second concrete-slab frame assembly 1 HOB) at a first abutment 1144A (once the first construction beam assembly 1106A is pivotally rotated to a predetermined angle).

[0262] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 45, on the left side of FIG. 45, another instance of the first beam-abutment feature 1108A makes contact with (abuts) the second frame- abutment feature 1112B (of the first concrete-slab frame assembly 1110A) at a second abutment 1144B (once the first construction beam assembly 1106A is pivotally rotated to a predetermined angle).

[0263] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 45, an advantage for the first abutment 1144A and the second abutment 1144B is that the first concrete-slab frame assembly 1110A and the second concrete-slab frame assembly 1110B are secured into position and are further prevented from movement (slide movement) along the top section of the first construction beam assembly 1106A and the second construction beam assembly 1106B (respectively). A construction worker may be able to form a floor surface by placing and positioning another instance of a concrete-slab frame assembly against the first concrete-slab frame assembly 1110A, and carry on to form (position) a floor section with instances of the concrete-slab frame assemblies, etc.

The first construction beam assembly 1106A is pivotally rotated away from the horizontal (that is, after the first construction beam assembly 1106A is pivotally mounted to the prop-head assembly 1104 and pivoted downwardly). The second construction beam assembly 1106B is pivotally rotated away from the horizontal (that is, after the second construction beam assembly 1106B is pivotally mounted to the prop-head assembly 1104 and pivoted downwardly).

[0269] Referring to the embodiments as depicted in FIG. 46 and FIG. 47, the first concrete- slab frame assembly 1110A is positioned on top of the first top beam portion 1114A, or on top of the first construction beam assembly 1106 A.

ADDITIONAL TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (for CONCRETE-SLAB FRAME ASSEMBLY FOR CONSTRUCTION BEAM ASSEMBLY)

[0292] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 31 , there is depicted the beam (support beam) that is supported by the prop-head assembly 1104 (also called, a beam prop-head, a prop- head, and any equivalent thereof) at an intermediate support position.

[0293] The first top beam portion 1114A (also called, a plastic runner, a runner, etc., and any equivalent thereof) is positioned on the top section of the beam (also called, the first construction beam assembly 1106A, etc., and any equivalent thereof). The first top beam portion 1114A may be integral to (or may be connected to) the first construction beam assembly 1106 A. The tabs (also called the first beam-abutment feature 1108 A, or the spaced-apart instances of the first beam-abutment feature 1108 A) may be called ears, etc., and any equivalent thereof. The tabs (that is, instances of the first beam-abutment feature 1108 A, etc.) are spaced apart from each other in such a way as to allow the panels (not depicted in FIG. 31 but depicted in FIG. 5) to slide by a relatively small amount (between left and right sides of FIG. 36, FIG. 45 and FIG. 51, etc.). While the beams (the first construction beam assembly 1106A, etc.) are pivotally movable (upwardly and/or downwardly) relative to a horizontal position (horizontal alignment), the tabs, in use, maintain engagement with the panel slots of the panels (the first concrete-slab frame assembly 1110A and the second concrete-slab frame assembly 1110B, etc.), while the panels are placed on the beams, as depicted in the embodiments of FIG. 36, FIG. 45 and FIG. 51.

[0294] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 32, the beam (such as, the first construction beam assembly 1106A) is supported at its end by the prop-head assembly 1104. The beam may rotate or pivoted (upwardly and/or downwardly) while the beam maintains secure contact (pivotal contact or pivotal engagement) with the prop-head assembly 1104.

[0295] The hidden line indicates the beam rotated upwardly, and the solid line indicates the beam rotated downwardly. [0296] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 33, there is depicted an end view of the beam (the first construction beam assembly 1106A) with the panels (the first concrete-slab frame assembly 1110A or the second concrete-slab frame assembly 1110B) resting on (placed on or positioned on) the top section of the beam, and positioned symmetrically along the center line of the beam. The panels are in contact with each other (side-by-side contact or end-to-end contact), and the panels are placed in the horizontal position (horizontal alignment).

[0297] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 34, two instances of the beam (the first construction beam assembly 1106A and the second construction beam assembly 1106B) are spaced apart from each other. The beams run (are aligned) parallel with each other, and are spaced at a center-to-center distance equal to a length of the supported panel (such as, the first concrete-slab frame assembly 1110A). The panels may be moved along a length of the beams by a relatively small distance in either direction (such as, to the left side or the right side of FIG. 3) until the panels make contact with the tab (the ear, or the first beam-abutment feature 1108 A) of the plastic runner or runner (such as, the first top beam portion 1114A or the second top beam portion 1114B). For further details of this feature, reference is made to FIG. 36. The runner is placed on the top section of the beam (as depicted in FIG. 31 and FIG. 33).

[0298] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 35, there is depicted a similar arrangement as depicted in FIG. 34, for multiples of (instances of) the panel (panels) sitting (positioned) adjacent to each other while maintaining contact (or side-by-side contact).

[0299] It will be appreciated that "contact" may include full contact or partial contact.

[0300] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 36, the panels (the first concrete-slab frame assembly 1110A and the second concrete-slab frame assembly 1 HOB) are placed on top of the beam (the first construction beam assembly 1106A and the second construction beam assembly 1106B, respectively) from above (on a top section thereof).

[0301] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 37, the tabs (such as, the first beam- abutment feature 1108A) of the runner (such as, the first top beam portion 1114A, etc.) are placed on (extend from) the beam (such as the first construction beam assembly 1106A).

[0302] The first frame-abutment feature 1112A and the second frame-abutment feature 1112B of the panels enable (are configured to enable) the slide action of the panels along the runner at the base of the runner (while the ears or the tabs engage with the panel slots 1113 defined by the lower section of the panels in, as depicted in FIG. 36).

[0303] Referring to the embodiments as depicted in FIG. 38 and FIG. 39, depict the arrangement between the beams (such as the first construction beam assembly 1106A) and the prop-head (the prop-head assembly 1104). The first beam-reference portion 1118A allows the beam to rotate upwardly and/or downwardly from the horizontal position relative to the prop- head assembly 1104. The second gap 1122B and the third gap 1122C (a spacing) exists between (A) the perimeter rail (also called the first frame-abutment feature 1112A or the second frame- abutment feature 1112B, etc., and any equivalent thereof) of the panels and (B) the ears (also called the tabs or the first beam-abutment feature 1108A, etc., and any equivalent thereof) of the runner (the first top beam portion 1114A). The second gap 1122B and the third gap 1122C, in use, allows movement of the panel along the beam whilst maintaining contact at the top of the panels (between the end sections of adjacently positioned panels) through rotation of the beam. Each of the panels provides a perimeter rail or an edge rail, and any equivalent thereof (such as, the first frame-abutment feature 1112A or the second frame-abutment feature 1112B), which is, preferably, positioned along the lower section of the panels.

[0304] Referring to the embodiments as depicted in FIG. 40 and FIG. 41, there is depicted a concrete layer (also called, the layer or the skim coat 1124) placed on a top surface of the panels (such as the first concrete-slab frame assembly 1110A). The contact point 1128 is a contact point between adjacently positioned instances of the panels (side-by-side panels, in which the end portions of the panels contact each other at least in part). Preferably, the contact point 1128 provides a relatively minimal distance (within a predetermined tolerance) between adjacently- positioned panels, and in this manner the tolerance substantially prevents (at least in part) the leakage of concrete through (between) the panels via the leakage drop direction 1132. It will be appreciated that FIG. 40 and FIG. 41 depict a close-up view (representation) of the technical features depicted in FIG. 38 and FIG. 39.

[0305] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 42, the beams (such as, the first construction beam assembly 1106A) are rotated downwardly from the horizontal line (the horizon) while the beams are supported on the prop-head assembly 1104, thus creating a gap (and angled gap) between adjacently-positioned beams (at the top of the beams).

[0306] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 43, depicts a similar level (degree) of rotation of the beams (such as the first construction beam assembly 1106 A) as the embodiment of FIG. 42. The panels (such as, the first concrete-slab frame assembly 1110A) are supported by the beams in position (that is, in a stationary position). The position of the panels are shown such that the end sections (also called edge perimeters) of the panels maintain contact (touch, at least in part) with each other, while the panels are positioned on the top sections of the beams, even though the beams have moved apart (that is, rotated apart or pivoted apart) from each other (as a result of pivotal movement of the beams relative to the prop-head assembly 1104). The panels follow the same rotation as the beams, yet the end sections of the panels maintain contact with each other due to the allowance for slide movement of the panels between the ears (also called the tabs, such as the first beam-abutment feature 1108A) that extend upwardly from the beam.

[0307] Referring briefly to the embodiment of FIG. 36, it will be appreciated that the bottom section of the panels define panel slots 1113 (elongated slots) that receive the tabs or the ears of the first top beam portion 1114A (which is placed on the top section of the beams). The elongated slots (such as, the panel slot 1113) of the panels are relatively longer than the width of the tabs (as depicted in the embodiment of FIG. 36). It will be appreciated that the same arrangement is applicable to the embodiment of FIG. 49.

[0308] Referring to the embodiments as depicted in FIG. 44 and FIG. 45, there is depicted a similar arrangement between the panel (such as, the first concrete-slab frame assembly 1110A) and the beam (such as, the first construction beam assembly 1106 A) but through a section cut through the panel.

[0309] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 46, there are depicted similar technical features as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 40 (that is, similar structural and/or with functionality), with the panels (such as the first concrete-slab frame assembly 1110A) rotated (pivoted) downwardly from the horizontal (downwardly from the horizon).

[0310] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 47, there are depicted the distances (such as, the second gap 1122B and the third gap 1122C) between (A) the tab (the ear, such as the first beam-abutment feature 1108A, etc.) and (B) the panel perimeter rail (also called, the first frame-abutment feature 1112A, etc.) have increased, which allow both end sections of the panels (such as, the first concrete-slab frame assembly 1110A, etc.) to maintain contact with each other (preferably, at the top portions of the panels) while the panels remain fully supported by the beam (such as, the first construction beam assembly 1106 A, etc.) for load transfer purposes.

[0311] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 48 (which is similar to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 42), the beams (such as, the first construction beam assembly 1106A, etc.) are rotated in an upward direction relative to the horizontal, thus (preferably) closing the gap (at least in part) at the top end sections of the beams (between adjacently positioned panels).

[0312] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 49, the panels (such as, the first concrete-slab frame assembly 1110A, etc.) are in position while maintaining panel-to-panel end contact (outer edge contact) at the top sections of the adjacently positioned panels. [0313] Referring to the embodiments as depicted in FIG. 50 and FIG. 51 (which are similar to the embodiments as depicted in FIG. 44 and FIG. 45). However, for this case, the beams are rotated or pivoted upwardly (relative to the horizontal).

[0314] Referring to the embodiments as depicted in FIG. 52 and FIG. 53, there is depicted similar structural and functional features of the beams (such as, the first construction beam assembly 1106A, etc.) and panels (such as the first concrete-slab frame assembly 1110A, etc.) as depicted in the embodiments of FIG. 46 and FIG. 47, but with the panels and beams rotated (pivoted) in the upward direction. FIG. 53 depicts the third abutment 1144C and fourth abutment 1144D as the relationship between the tab (the ear, or the first beam-abutment feature 1108A and the second beam-abutment feature 1108B) and the panel perimeter rail (such as, the first frame-abutment feature 1112A and the second frame-abutment feature 1112B) come into contact (with each other, at least in part).

[0342] BACKGROUND (associated with or relates to INFILL BEAM and/or other construction components)

[0343] Shoring is a process of temporarily supporting a structure (such as, a building, a vessel, a trench, etc.) with shores (also called props or supports) when there is a danger of collapse of the structure or during construction, repairs or alterations (of the structure). Shoring may be vertical, angled, or horizontal. For instance, a building component (such as, a prop, a prop assembly, etc.) is an object (also called a support) placed beneath and/or against a structure (or part of the structure), and is configured to keep (for preventing) the structure from falling or shaking, etc.

[0344] SUMMARY (associated with or relates to INFILL BEAM and/or other construction components)

[0347] To mitigate, at least in part, at least one problem associated with the existing technology, there is provided various solutions described below in detail.

[0348] For instance, the infill beam is supportive of (configured to support, at least in part) a floor component, in which the floor component is extendable (is configured to fill in) over a gap (a space) formed between a construction component and a feature (such as a wall) of a structure.

[0349] For instance, the prop-head assembly is cooperative with (is configured to cooperate with) the infill beam.

[0350] For instance, the beam-end-support bracket is cooperative with (is configured to cooperate with) the infill beam.

[0351] For instance, the construction beam is cooperative with (is configured to cooperate with) the infill beam.

[0352] For instance, the construction beam includes a beam-safety feature, in which the beam- safety feature is positionable (configured to be positioned or located) along a bottom section of the construction beam.

[0353] For instance, the premade panel includes the panel-frame assembly.

[0354] For instance, the panel-frame assembly is provided for the formation of the premade panel (preferably, concrete is poured into the panel-frame assembly, and solidifies to form the premade panel).

[0355] For instance, the structure (such as a building, a bridge, etc.) has any one or more of the above listed items.

[0388] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 54 (and FIG. 61), the infill beam 2102 is supportive of (configured to support, at least in part) a floor component 2502 (depicted in FIG. 61). This is done once the infill beam 2102 is installed relative to at least one or more construction components. Preferably, the floor component 2502 includes a piece of plywood, filler plywood, a loose piece of filler plywood, a floor panel, a horizontal floor panel, a panel, etc., and any equivalent thereof. The floor component 2502 is utilized for the formation of anew floor of a structure 2900 (the structure 2900 is to be built or constructed, with reference to FIG. 61). Preferably, once the new floor is built (formed), and is safe to use, the floor component 2502 is removed (accordingly, along with other construction components). Once removed from the newly-formed floor, the floor component 2502 may be placed on (secured to and/or coupled to) another infill beam 2102, and then a new floor may be formed for the structure 2900, etc.

[0389] Referring to the embodiments as depicted in FIG. 54 and FIG. 61, the infill beam 2102 includes (provides or defines, and is not limited to) a beam-support surface 2104, and any equivalent thereof. The infill beam 2102 includes opposite lateral elongated sides (side sections). The beam-support surfaces 2104 are positioned on the opposite lateral sides of the infill beam 2102. The beam-support surfaces 2104 face away from each other. Any one of the beam-support surfaces 2104 is supportive of (is configured to support) the floor component 2502 (depicted in FIG. 61), etc. Once the floor component 2502 is positioned on the beam-support surface 2104, concrete may be poured on the floor component 2502. The concrete is poured, accordingly, for the purpose of forming, or the construction of, a new floor for the structure 2900, as depicted in FIG. 61.

[0390] Referring to the embodiments as depicted in FIG. 54 and FIG. 61, the floor component 2502 is utilized (deployed) for the case where it is required to cover (temporarily cover, or cover at least in part) an open area or a gap 2903 (depicted in FIG. 61) for the case where a premade panel 2500 cannot fit over (at least in part), cover (at least in part) and/or be positioned over (at least in part) the gap 2903.

The gap 2903 is depicted in the embodiment of FIG. 61 and FIG. 63. Once the gap 2903 is covered by the floor component 2502, the construction of (formation of) anew floor may proceed. The new floor may be formed by pouring concrete over any one or more of the floor component 2502, the premade panel 2500, the concrete slab 950, or the first concrete-slab frame assembly 1110A, etc.). Preferably, once the new floor is formed, solidifies, and is safe to use, the floor component 2502, the premade panel 2500, the concrete slab 950, or the first concrete-slab frame assembly 1110A, are removed (along with other construction components, and a new floor may be then formed, etc.). [0391] Referring to the embodiments as depicted in FIG. 61 and FIG. 66, for instance, the gap 2903 may span (extend) between the infill beam 2102 and (A) a vertically-extending wall 2904 (depicted in FIG. 67), and/or (B) a vertically-extending column 2902 (depicted in FIG. 61), etc.

[0392] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 54, the infill beam 2102 is positionable (configured to be positioned) in specific spatial arrangements (orientations or configurations, etc.) relative to other construction components (and/or relative to a working surface). For instance, the infill beam 2102 is extendable (configured to span) between (across) adjacently- positioned construction beams 2400 (spaced-apart construction beams 2400), as depicted in FIG. 61 and FIG. 63. It will be appreciated that the construction beam 2400 may include (or is equivalent to, at least in part) the primary beam 802 (first horizontal construction beam assembly, as depicted in FIG. 3), the crossbeam 804 (also called the second horizontal construction beam assembly, as depicted in FIG. 4), and/or the first construction beam assembly 1106A (depicted in FIG. 31), etc.

In accordance with an embodiment, the infill beam 2102 is extendable (configured to span between or across) adjacently-positioned infill beams 2102 (depicted in FIG. 63). In accordance with an embodiment, the infill beam 2102 is extendable (configured to span or extend between or across) adjacently-positioned beam-end-support brackets 2300 (as depicted in FIG. 67). In accordance with an embodiment, the infill beam 2102 is positionable (configured to be seated, fully seated or seated at least in part) on atop surface (top flat surface) of a construction beam 2400 (depicted in FIG. 69). In accordance with an embodiment, the infill beam 2102 is extendable (configured to span) between or across adjacently-positioned prop-head assemblies 2200 (depicted in FIG. 71).

[0395] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 54, the infill beam 2102 further includes a first elongated section 2103. The infill beam 2102 also includes a second elongated section 2105. The first elongated section 2103 and the second elongated section 2105 are attached (affixed to each other lengthwise from end-to-end). The infill beam 2102 may be spatially oriented and installed such that the first elongated section 2103 is located (positioned) vertically over the second elongated section 2105. Alternatively, the infill beam 2102 may be spatially oriented and installed such that the second elongated section 2105 is located (positioned) vertically over the first elongated section 2103 (where needed).

[0396] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 54, the infill beam 2102 further includes free-floating pins 2108 (also called, beam-engagement members or spaced-apart free- floating pins). The free-floating pins 2108 are movable (configured to move, slidably movable) relative to the outer surfaces of the infill beam 2102 responsive to (in response to) the action of gravity acting on (urging movement of) the free-floating pins 2108 (depending on the spatial orientation of the infill beam 2102). The infill beam 2102 retains (is configured to retain) the free-floating pins 2108 within a limited range of movement while the free-floating pins 2108 are free to be movable (within a limited range of movement) in response to (responsive to) the action of gravity (depending on the spatial orientation of the infill beam 2102) acting on (pulling) the free-floating pins 2108. The infill beam 2102 houses (is configured to house) and retains (configured to retain) the free-floating pins 2108. The free-floating pins 2108 have a limited travel distance relative to the outer surfaces of the infill beam 2102. At one extent of travel (movement), the free-floating pins 2108 may extend, at least in part, beyond an exterior of the infill beam 2102 (depending on the spatial orientation of the infill beam 2102) to a first predetermined travel limit. The free-floating pins 2108 may retract, at least in part or fully, into the interior of the infill beam 2102 (depending on the spatial orientation of the infill beam 2102) so that the ends of the free-floating pins 2108 are at or below the exterior surface of the infill beam 2102. The interior of the infill beam 2102 is accommodates (is configured to accommodate or receive) a length of the free-floating pins 2108. The interior of the infill beam 2102 permits (is configured to permit) limited travel movement of the free-floating pins 2108 (between an extended position and a retracted position, as depicted in the embodiment of FIG. 62, for instance). The free-floating pins 2108 are spaced-apart from each other. The free-floating pins 2108 are adjacently-positioned. The free-floating pins 2108 are movable independently of each other. The free-floating pins 2108 are aligned parallel to each other. The free-floating pins 2108 are aligned 90 degrees relative to an elongated length of the infill beam 2102. A first pair of free-floating pins 2108 are positioned at (and mounted to) a first end of the infill beam 2102. A second pair of free-floating pins 2108 are positioned at (and mounted to) a second end of the infill beam 2102. The first pair of free-floating pins 2108 are spaced apart from the second pair of free-floating pins 2108. The free-floating pins 2108 are located on each of the opposite end sections of the infill beam 2102. The free-floating pins 2108 are movable (slide movable) independently of each other (depending on the spatial orientation or spatial movement of the infill beam 2102). For instance, the free-floating pins 2108 are freely movable once the infill beam 2102 is flipped over (that is, gravity is utilized to pull the free-floating pins 2108 according to the spatial orientation of the infill beam 2102).

[0397] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 54, the free-floating pin 2108 includes a pin sleeve 2110. The pin sleeve 2110 is positioned (located) mid-section of the opposite end portions of the free-floating pin 2108. The infill beam 2102 defines (provides) corresponding pin holes (also called pin guideways) permits (configured to permit) the free-floating pin 2108 to freely move. The internal diameter of the corresponding pin hole (of the infill beam 2102) is larger than the external diameter of the free-floating pin 2108. The external diameter of the pin sleeve 2110 is larger than the external diameter of the free-floating pin 2108. The external diameter of the pin sleeve 2110 is larger than the internal diameter of the corresponding pin hole (of the infill beam 2102) thereby the pin sleeve 2110 is prevented from moving beyond a pin hole (of the infill beam 2102). The pin sleeve 2110 is sized (dimensioned) such that the pin sleeve 2110 cannot travel past the corresponding pin hole of the infill beam 2102. In this manner, the free-floating pin 2108 is slidably retained by the infill beam 2102. The free-floating pin 2108 may travel between two travel limits: an outer travel limit and an inner travel limit. The pin sleeve 2110 limits (is configured to limit) the vertical travel of the free-floating pins 2108 (this is done such that an end portion of the free-floating pin 2108 is positioned to become flush with an external surface (a beam extrusion surface) of the infill beam 2102 once the infill beam 2102 is spatially oriented accordingly). Once the infill beam 2102 is spatially oriented accordingly, the free-floating pin 2108 may freely travel to extend outwardly, to a predetermined limit of extent, from the exterior of the infill beam 2102, so that the retracted free-floating pin 2108 may interact with any other building component. Once the infill beam 2102 is spatially oriented accordingly, the free-floating pin 2108 may freely travel to extend inwardly, to a predetermined depth within the infill beam 2102 (away from the exterior of the infill beam 2102), so that the retracted free-floating pin 2108 does not interact with any other building component. The free- floating pin 2108 is interactable (is configured to interact) with other system components once the infill beam 2102 is spatially oriented accordingly. Preferably, the free-floating pin 2108 is interactable (is configured to interact) with other system components for the purpose of positioning, coupling or securing the infill beam 2102 with other construction components (once the infill beam 2102 is spatially oriented accordingly). [0398] Referring to the embodiments as depicted in FIG. 54, FIG. 55 and FIG. 72, the infill beam 2102 further includes (defines) a claw slot 2112. The claw slot 2112 is receivable of (is configured to receive) a claw 2210 (depicted in FIG. 55) of the prop-head assembly 2200 (depicted in FIG. 55 and FIG. 72). For instance, the infill beam 2102 may be positioned to span between adjacently-positioned prop-head assemblies 2200 (as depicted in FIG. 72), thereby positioning (securely positioning) the infill beam 2102 on (with) the prop-head assembly 2200 (when desired or needed).

[0399] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 54, the infill beam 2102 includes (defines) a lengthwise channel 2114 that extends between opposite end portions of the infill beam 2102. Preferably, the lengthwise channel 2114 extends along the entire length of the infill beam 2102 from end to end, and opens to the exterior of the infill beam 2102 (at the end sections of the infill beam 2102).

[0400] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 54 and FIG. 63, for instance, the lengthwise channel 2114 is receivable of (configured to receive) (and to allow free movement of) the free-floating pin 2108 of another infill beam 2102 (as depicted in FIG. 63). This is done in such a way that the free-floating pin 2108 may move, at least in part, along a length of the lengthwise channel 2114.

[0401] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 54 and FIG. 68, the lengthwise channel 2114, for instance, is also receivable of (configured to receive) a positioning feature 2304 of the beam-end-support bracket 2300 (as depicted in FIG. 68). The positioning feature 2304 may be called an extending tab, etc.

The pin receiver 2206 is spaced apart from the relief feature 2208. The relief feature 2208 is located (positioned) along the outer peripheral edge of beam- interaction member 2202. The pin receiver 2206 is receivable of (configured to receive), at least in part, the free-floating pin 2108 (FIG. 54) of the infill beam 2102 (once the free-floating pin 2108 is positioned and moved accordingly). The relief feature 2208 abuts (is configured to abut, at least in part) an outer diameter (outer shaft surface) of the free-floating pin 2108 of the infill beam 2102 (once the free-floating pin 2108 is positioned and moved accordingly).

[0406] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 55, FIG. 71 and FIG. 72, for the case where it is required for the infill beam 2102 to span between (extend between) adjacently- positioned prop-head assemblies 2200 (depicted in FIG. 71 and FIG. 72), the infill-beam interfacing features 2204 are utilized to couple (locate) the free-floating pins 2108 of the infill beam 2102 with the prop-head assembly 2200, thereby the infill beam 2102 becomes secured (connected or coupled) to the prop-head assembly 2200 (once the infill-beam interfacing features 2204 locate the free-floating pins 2108. Preferably, the free-floating pin 2108 drops (via gravity) into the pin receiver 2206, etc., once the infill beam 2102 is suitably oriented to permit such action by gravity. The infill-beam interfacing feature 2204 is connectable (configured to couple or to locate) the free-floating pin 2108 of the infill beam 2102 with the prop-head assembly 2200.

[0407] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 55, the prop-head assembly 2200 further includes a claw 2210. The claw 2210 extends outwardly and upwardly from a lower section of the prop-head assembly 2200. Preferably, the prop-head assembly 2200 includes a quantity of four (4) of the claws 2210 that are positioned at about ninety (90) degrees apart from each other (at right angles, or relative to each other).

The construction beam 2400 is positioned on the prop-head assembly 2200, and is then rotated upwardly along a rotation direction 2407. The construction beam 2400 and the beam-end- support bracket 2300 do not interfere with each other once the construction beam 2400 is rotated upwardly along the rotation direction 2407. The construction beam 2400 is installed at (or is rotated to) a predetermined angle relative to the horizon, so that the construction beam 2400 may slope upwardly. For instance, the predetermined angle may include 2.3 degrees relative to the horizon. It will be appreciated that the beam-end-support bracket 2300 is not required for the purpose of tilting the construction beam 2400 (either upwardly or downwardly). The beam- end-support bracket 2300 is utilized (configured to be utilized) with the construction beam 2400 for the case where installing the construction beam 2400 is required at an aligned slope relative to the horizon.

The construction beam 2400 may be rotated downwardly along a rotation direction 2407. The construction beam 2400 and the beam- end-support bracket 2300 do not interfere with each other once the construction beam 2400 is rotated downwardly along the rotation direction 2407. [0429] FIG. 61 depicts a perspective view of an embodiment of the infill beam 2102 of FIG. 54.

[0430] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 61, the infill beam 2102 is positioned proximate to a vertically-extending column 2902 of a structure 2900.

[0431] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 61, it will be appreciated that, in accordance with a preferred embodiment, the apparatus 2100 is utilized as a temporary structure for the purpose of forming a floor (such as, a poured concrete floor) of the structure 2900. Once the floor is formed (by pouring concrete on the premade panel 2500, etc.), the apparatus 2100 (and/or the construction components) may be removed, and then relocated for the purpose of forming a new floor on the newly formed floor. In this manner, once the apparatus 2100 is deployed or installed on the newly formed floor, the structure 2900 is then further utilized in the formation of another new floor to be located over (above) the newly formed floor of the structure 2900, etc. It will be appreciated that the structure 2900 is similar to (or part of) the structure 700 of FIG. 1.

A premade panel 2500 is positioned across (spans across) adjacently -positioned construction beams 2400. The premade panel 2500 is postionable (is configured to be positioned) across (to span across) adjacently-positioned construction beams 2400 (once positioned or placed on the adjacently- positioned construction beams 2400). The premade panel 2500 rests on the adjacently- positioned construction beams 2400. The adjacently-positioned construction beams 2400 support the weight of the premade panel 2500.

[0433] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 61 , for some cases, the premade panel 2500 is sized in such a way that the premade panel 2500 cannot be utilized for the purpose of placement over or spanning over a gap 2903. For instance, the gap 2903 is formed between (A) an outer edge (peripheral edge) of the premade panel 2500, and (B) an outer wall of the vertically-extending column 2902. The gap 2903 is sized (dimensioned) so that there is no way to accommodate placement of another premade panel 2500 in (over) the gap 2903 (thereby completing the formation of a floor surface on which poured concrete may be placed thereon for the purpose of forming a floor of the structure 2900). For this case, the infill beam 2102 may be utilized (installed or utilized) for the purpose of utilizing the premade panel 2500 that may fill in (cover) the gap 2903 (since the gap 2903 cannot be filled in or covered by placement of the premade panel 2500 over the gap 2903).

[0434] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 61 and FIG. 67, it will be appreciated that for some cases, the premade panel 2500 is sized (dimensioned or has a foot print) in such a way that the premade panel 2500 cannot be placed or located for the purpose of spanning (covering) the gap 2903 (a space) that is formed between construction components. For instance, the gap 2903 may be formed up to the vertically-extending column 2902 (as depicted in FIG. 61), and/or up to a vertically-extending wall 2904 (as depicted in FIG. 67).

[0435] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 61, the floor component 2502 may be used to fill in (cover) the gap 2903. For instance, the floor component 2502 is used to fill or cover (is configured to fill or cover), at least in part, in the gap 2903 (a space) located around a vertically-extending column 2902 of the structure 2900. The floor component 2502 may include loose, filler plywood pieces, etc., and any equivalent thereof. The floor component 2502 is placed onto an underlying network formed by the infill beams 2102 and/or other construction components.

[0436] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 61, the infill beam 2102 may span between adjacently-positioned construction beams 2400. The infill beam 2102 may span between adjacently-positioned infill beams 2102, in which the adjacently-positioned infill beams 2102 span (extend) between the adjacently-positioned construction beams 2400. The free-floating pins 2108 of the infill beam 2102 may interact (couple) with the pin-compatible features located on other infill beams 2102 and/or other construction components (such as the construction beam 2400, etc.). The free-floating pin 2108 of the infill beam 2102 may drop (by gravity feed or by insertion into) into a pin-compatible feature located on other infill beams 2102 and/or other construction components. The free-floating pin 2108 of the infill beam 2102 may abut a pin-compatible feature located on other infill beams 2102 and/or other construction components.

[0437] FIG. 62 depicts a side view (side elevation view) of an embodiment of the infill beam 2102 of FIG. 54.

[0438] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 62, the infill beam 2102 is interactable with (configured to interact with, couple to, connect to) the construction beam 2400. The infill beam 2102 is extended (configured to span) between (extend across) adjacently-positioned construction beams 2400 (once positioned accordingly). The construction beam 2400 may include any type of construction beam, such as a main beam and/or a cross beam, etc., and any equivalent thereof. The end section of the infill beam 2102 rests (is configured to rest or sit) on a top surface (such as, a rack 2406) of the construction beam 2400. Alternatively, a length of the infill beam 2102 may be positioned on a length of the rack 2406 of the construction beam 2400, etc.

[0439] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 62, the rack 2406 is connectable (configured to be connected to, snap fit to) a top surface section of the construction beam 2400. The rack 2406 may include a plastic material formed by an extrusion process, etc., and any equivalent thereof. It will be appreciated that the rack 2406 includes (or is equivalent, at least in part to) (A) the frame-engagement device 954 (depicted in FIG. 3), and/or (B) the first beam- abutment feature 1108A (depicted in FIG. 31). The outer positioned free-floating pin 2108 (of the infill beam 2102) is raised (pushed) upwardly in response to the outer positioned free- floating pin 2108 making physical contact with the rack 2406 (such as, the top surface) of the construction beam 2400. The pin sleeve 2110 is movable for the purpose of contacting an upper interior edge surface of the infill beam 2102. The upper interior edge surface limits (stops) an upper movement (upward travel limit or travel) of the outer positioned free-floating pin 2108. The pin sleeve 2110 is movable (configured to be movable, slide movable, preferably by gravity feed) between two interior travel limits or interior stops, in which the interior stops are provided in the interior cavity of the infill beam 2102.

[0440] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 62, the inner positioned free-floating pin 2108 of the infill beam 2102 is lowered (by gravity feed) downwardly (to a predetermined travel limit) since there is nothing to interfere with the limited free movement of the inner positioned free-floating pin 2108 (while the free-floating pin 2108 is moved to the predetermined travel limit). The pin sleeve 2110 (of the inner positioned free-floating pin 2108) contacts a lower interior edge (a travel limit) of the infill beam 2102. The lower interior edge of the infill beam 2102 limits (provides a travel limit) for the lower movement of the inner positioned free-floating pins 2108. The pin sleeve 2110 is movable (configured to be movable, slide movable, preferably by gravity feed) between the spaced-apart interior travel limits or spaced-apart stops, in which the spaced-apart stops are provided in the interior cavity of the infill beam 2102.

[0441] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 62, the inner positioned free-floating pin 2108 of the infill beam 2102 limits (is configured to limit) the movement (provide a travel limit), such as left-to-right movement, of the infill beam 2102, etc. The inner positioned free- floating pin 2108 of the infill beam 2102 (along with the corresponding free-floating pin 2108 located on the other far end of the infill beam 2102 that is not shown in FIG. 62) are used for laterally positioning (locating) the infill beam 2102 between the two adjacently-positioned construction beams 2400. It will be appreciated that some left-to-right movement is permitted (allowed for tolerances). The inner positioned free-floating pins 2108 of the infill beam 2102 may sufficiently contact an aspect of (portion of) the construction beam 2400 (such as, the rack 2406) to limit the side-to-side movement of the infill beam 2102.

[0442] FIG. 63 depicts a perspective view of an embodiment of the infill beam 2102 of FIG. 54.

[0443] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 63, the infill beam 2102 is interactable (is configured to interact with, couple to) the construction beam 2400. The infill beam 2102 and the construction beam 2400 are positioned proximate to the vertically-extending column 2902 of the structure 2900.

[0444] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 63, two adjacently-positioned construction beams 2400 A, 2400B (or the spaced-apart construction beams 2400A, 2400B) are aligned longitudinally parallel to each other. Two adjacently-positioned infill beams 2102A, 2102B are aligned longitudinally parallel to each other. Two adjacently-positioned infill beams 2102A, 2102B are mounted to, or positioned to, (span across) the two adjacently-positioned construction beams 2400A, 2400B. The infill beam 2102A spans across the construction beams 2400A, 2400B. The infill beam 2102B spans across the construction beams 2400A, 2400B. The lengthwise channels 2114 of the spaced-apart infill beams 2102A, 2102B are oriented to face upwardly (once the spaced-apart infill beams 2102A, 2102B are oriented for this purpose). The free-floating pins of the infill beam 2102A engage with (couple) the construction beams 2400A, 2400B. The free-floating pins of the infill beam 2102B engage with (couple) the construction beams 2400 A, 2400B.

[0445] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 63, the infill beam 2102C is also called a cross infill beam. The infill beam 2102C is positioned to span between (and contact and/or couple) the spaced-apart infill beams 2102A, 2102B. The lengthwise channel 2114 of the infill beam 2102C (cross infill beam) is oriented to face upwardly (once the infill beam 2102C is accordingly spatially oriented). The lengthwise channel 2114 of the two adjacently-positioned infill beams 2102 A, 2102B receive (are configured to receive) respective free-floating pins 2108 of the infill beam 2102C (the cross infill beam).

[0446] FIG. 64 depicts a perspective view (close-up perspective view) of an embodiment of the infill beam 2102C of FIG. 63.

The neighboring infill beam 2102B is interactable with (configured to interact with, couple to) the construction beam 2400A (as depicted in FIG. 63).

[0448] Referring to the embodiment as depicted in FIG. 64, the free-floating pin 2108 (of the upper infill beam 2102C) is inserted (is dropped via gravity feed) into the lengthwise channel 2114 of the underlying infill beam 2102B (so that the free-floating pin 2108 thereby couples and positions the upper infill beam 2102C with the underlying infill beam 2102B). The upper infill beam 2102C may slide engage (back and forth) along a length of the lengthwise channel 2114 of the underlying infill beam 2102B. The upper infill beam 2102C may slide along a linear direction 2120 (as depicted in FIG. 64). The free-floating pin 2108 (of the upper infill beam 2102C) permits the upper infill beam 2102C to rotate by a limited amount of rotation (once the free-floating pin 2108 of the upper infill beam 2102C is coupled to the underlying infill beam 2102B) while the upper infill beam 2102C is moved (back and forth) along the linear direction 2120.

CONCLUSION FOR ALL DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS

[0495] The following is offered as further description of the embodiments, in which any one or more of any technical feature (described in the detailed description, the summary and the claims) may be combinable with any other one or more of any technical feature (described in the detailed description, the summary and the claims). It is understood that each claim in the claims section is an open ended claim unless stated otherwise. Unless otherwise specified, relational terms used in these specifications should be construed to include certain tolerances that the person skilled in the art would recognize as providing equivalent functionality. By way of example, the term perpendicular is not necessarily limited to 90.0 degrees, and may include a variation thereof that the person skilled in the art would recognize as providing equivalent functionality for the purposes described for the relevant member or element. Terms such as "about" and "substantially", in the context of configuration, relate generally to disposition, location, or configuration that are either exact or sufficiently close to the location, disposition, or configuration of the relevant element to preserve operability of the element within the invention which does not materially modify the invention. Similarly, unless specifically made clear from its context, numerical values should be construed to include certain tolerances that the person skilled in the art would recognize as having negligible importance as they do not materially change the operability of the invention. It will be appreciated that the description and/or drawings identify and describe embodiments of the apparatus (either explicitly or inherently). The apparatus may include any suitable combination and/or permutation of the technical features as identified in the detailed description, as may be required and/or desired to suit a particular technical purpose and/or technical function. It will be appreciated that, where possible and suitable, any one or more of the technical features of the apparatus may be combined with any other one or more of the technical features of the apparatus (in any combination and/or permutation). It will be appreciated that persons skilled in the art would know that the technical features of each embodiment may be deployed (where possible) in other embodiments even if not expressly stated as such above. It will be appreciated that persons skilled in the art would know that other options would be possible for the configuration of the components of the apparatus to adjust to manufacturing requirements and still remain within the scope as described in at least one or more of the claims. This written description provides embodiments, including the best mode, and also enables the person skilled in the art to make and use the embodiments. The patentable scope may be defined by the claims. The written description and/or drawings may help to understand the scope of the claims. It is believed that all the crucial aspects of the disclosed subject matter have been provided in this document. It is understood, for this document, that the word "includes" is equivalent to the word "comprising" in that both words are used to signify an open-ended listing of assemblies, components, parts, etc. The term "comprising", which is synonymous with the terms "including," "containing," or "characterized by," is inclusive or open-ended and does not exclude additional, unrecited elements or method steps. Comprising (comprised of) is an "open" phrase and allows coverage of technologies that employ additional, unrecited elements. When used in a claim, the word "comprising" is the transitory verb (transitional term) that separates the preamble of the claim from the technical features of the invention. The foregoing has outlined the non-limiting embodiments (examples). The description is made for particular non-limiting embodiments (examples). It is understood that the non-limiting embodiments are merely illustrative as examples.
