Wall panel construction accessories

摘要

Lumber construction tools that facilitate lifting and manipulating wall sections and discrete structures of the lumber assembly. One of the construction tools discloses a wall lifting appliance or device for raising timber framed wall structures from a horizontal to a vertical position without unduly interfering with placement of sheathing on the framed wall sections. A construction lumber biasing tool is also disclosed that includes a handle portion and a offset portion that cooperate with one another and the lumber members to facilitate deflection or deformation of warped or curved lumber members to achieve the desired orientation of the lumber relative to adjacent members.

主权项

1. A wall lifting system comprising:
a rail having a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end, the rail being defined by a top portion, a bottom portion, and a side portion that are connected to one another such that the top portion and the bottom portion are substantially parallel to one another and extend a same distance from the side portion and the side portion is substantially perpendicular to each of the top portion and the bottom portion to define a substantially orthogonal C-shaped channel shaped to slidably cooperate with a top plate of a framing structure; and a flexible connector having a first end permanently affixed proximate the first longitudinal end of the top portion of the rail and a second end permanently affixed proximate the second longitudinal end of the top portion of the rail and having a length sufficient to provide a gap between a center section of the flexible connector and an outer directed surface of top portion of the rail for removably cooperating with a lifting means associated with rotating the framing structure from a horizontal orientation to a vertical orientation.
