MUMBAI, India, Sept. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202421020895 A) filed by Knest Manufacturers Private Limited, Pune, Maharashtra, on March 20, 2024, for 'an apparatus for sensing alignment of formwork panels.'
Inventor(s) include Agarwal, Ashish Suryaprakash.
The application for the patent was published on Sept. 26, under issue no. 39/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to an apparatus (100) for sensing the alignment of formwork panels (10) having at least one rail (15). The apparatus (100) includes a fixture (105) comprising a plate (105A) with a pair of legs (105B) extending from its operative rear surface, forming a gap to receive the rail (15). Each leg (105B) has at least two holes configured to receive spring-loaded ball plungers (110), which detachably secure the fixture (105) onto the rail (15), ensuring firm yet removable engagement. A sensing unit (115) is attached to an operative front surface of the plate (105A) and is configured to detect at least one alignment parameter, including axial deviations, plumb alignment, rotational misalignment, and level discrepancies. The sensing unit (115) generates an alert signal upon detecting deviations from predetermined threshold values, facilitating real-time monitoring and precise formwork alignment in construction applications."
