Abstract
A device for assisting to secure a bridge support bracket to a beam, the device comprising: a support frame, a hook to secure the support frame to the beam, a clamp to grasp and hold the bracket, and a pivot axle to pivotally connect the clamp to the support frame. When attaching at least two spaced apart such devices to the beam, then clamping a support bracket in each of the at least two spaced apart devices, both support brackets can be pivoted to a position where wood boards attached to the top of the support brackets are held in a not horizontal position. By then placing a wood stud in a position where it spans the two support brackets and attaching the wood stud to the respective bracket wood boards, a workman can then further pivot the support brackets to where the wood boards extend horizontally away from the beam.
