<p>A shoring leg (1) is provided with a latch (7) for use in maintaining an end plate (6) of the shoring leg (1) and a jack collar (3) in a predetermined position relative to each other. The latch comprises a latch member having a slot (21) to receive a mounting bracket (27) which mounts the latch member (8) for pivotal movement relative to the mounting means (27) from a latching position to a release position. The latch member (8) defines a recess (11) adapted, when in the latching position, to receive part of the leg end plate (6) and a corresponding part of an adjacent collar (3) of the jack (2) to retain the end plate (6) and collar (3) in the predetermined position. The latch member (8) is biased into the latching position by a coil spring (32) acting between the leg (1) and the latch member (8). <IMAGE></p> |
