20080209844 | ANCHOR SYSTEM FOR CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION - An anchor system and method to provide support in concrete construction including a concrete-embeddable body having an aperture, one or more concrete anchor legs situated on a first plane, and one or more concrete anchor members situated on a second plane that is different from the first plane, and a strap having a matable head and an elongated strap body, wherein the matable head of the strap lockingly engages the aperture of the concrete-embeddable body. | 09-04-2008 |
20090013635 | EXPANSION ANCHOR - An expansion anchor includes an anchor bolt, a nut, a spring washer, first and second outer metal plates, and first to fifth inner metal plates. Each of the first and second outer plates is subjected to the dovetail-correspondence elevation-angle bending-processing. The width of the first to fifth inner metal plates is set larger in the order of the fifth inner metal plate to the first inner metal plate, and the upper portions or the whole surfaces of the four side surfaces of the first to fifth inner metal plates are subjected to the chamfering-processing so that they become the continuation surfaces with the same inclination angle as the side-wall of the dovetail when the first to fifth inner metal plates are piled up in the same direction. | 01-15-2009 |
20090272067 | Deck Anchor Insert - A deck anchor insert for use in multi-story building structures with a deck form comprising an embedment portion comprising a generally round head and a threaded shaft extending from said head, an attachment assembly comprising a wing nut engaging said shaft proximal to said head; a deck retaining nut engaging said shaft adjacent to said wing nut; and a washer engaging said shaft between said wing nut and said deck retaining nut; and a coupling nut with a first end engaging said shaft adjacent to said deck retaining nut, and a second end. In some embodiments, a stop means is incorporated to prevent the stem from completely penetrating the coupling nut. | 11-05-2009 |
20100293883 | CAST-IN INSERT - An insert for embedment in a concrete component during casting, having a tubular cavity for receiving a threaded anchorage member, the tubular cavity having an opening arranged to face outward of the concrete component when cast for insertion of the threaded anchorage member, wherein the insert is externally tapered such that, when the insert is embedded in the concrete component and the anchorage member is threadedly engaged within the tubular cavity, axial loading applied to the anchorage member in a sense to withdraw the anchorage member from the insert causes reactional force from the surrounding concrete to be applied to the insert in a direction radially inwardly of the insert, and wherein the insert is formed of deformable plastic material such that said reactional force in turn causes the insert to exert force radially inwardly upon the anchorage member. | 11-25-2010 |
20100313518 | JOINING DEVICE - A device for joining a first building element to a second building element has a bridge element that is in contact with the first and second building elements to connect the first and second building elements when in a working position, and a first element secured to the first building element by being embedded therein. The first element cooperates with the bridge element. An elastic sleeve is arranged between the first element and the first building element. The elastic sleeve has at least one internal groove, thereby forming at least one cavity between the elastic sleeve and the first element. | 12-16-2010 |
20120233957 | DECK-TO-BUILDING LATERAL-LOAD CONNECTOR - A connector device for connecting an exterior deck structure to a contiguous building the connector having a pair of interlocked non-contacting cable loops, with a plastic plug encapsulating the interlocked ends of the cables and separating the cables to act as a thermal barrier. An expanded head at one end of the plug, with associated foam washer seals against a deck header. The exterior cable end of the connector is attached to a deck joist and the interior end of the connector is attached to a building joist, wherein the respective joists may be laterally offset. The connector prevents detachment of the deck from the building during severe tectonic of weather activities. | 09-20-2012 |
20130067851 | Roof Member Anti-Torsion Bracket Device and Method of Use - A roof member anti-torsion bracket device includes a base plate portion having a planar base plate surface. The planar base plate surface is adapted to sit on a top plate of a wall construction and to receive a truss assembly. At least one transverse planar surface is oriented substantially transverse to the base plate surface. A locating tab extending longitudinally with respect to the base plate portion abuts an edge of the top plate, thereby locating the anti-torsion bracket device an offset distance from the edge of the wall construction top plate. The base plate portion further includes first and second fastening openings oppositely located with respect to the at least one transverse planar surface. The first and second fastening openings define first and second fastening positions in the base plate, thereby providing torsion resistance, compressive load support, and tension lifting resistance for the base plate portion. | 03-21-2013 |
20130199123 | COLUMN SHOE - The object of the invention is a column shoe for securing steel concrete columns to a base. The column shoe includes a bolt housing, which includes a base-plate provided with a bolt hole, and an upper structure which is connected to the baseplate and to which at least one attachment unit is connected for securing the column shoe and the steel concrete column together. The bolt housing is fabricated by casting such that the upper structure and the baseplate form a single-piece casting. A hole is formed in the bolt housing for the attachment unit. The hole is substantially coaxial with the bolt hole of the baseplate. The upper structure of the bolt housing includes a sleeve structure which is formed integrally with the upper structure and on which the hole for the attachment unit is formed, and the upper structure of the bolt housing includes a wall structure by which the sleeve structure is connected with the baseplate, and the wall structure of the bolt housing is tapering in direction of the sleeve structure. | 08-08-2013 |
20140069049 | FRAMING BRACKET - A construction bracket is provided for connecting two perpendicular structural members. The bracket comprises an elongated, substantially rectangular top piece; an end piece at one end of the top piece and folded approximately 90° relative to a bottom surface of the top piece; and an elongated, substantially rectangular flange along one side of the top piece. The flange has an inner end separated from the end piece by approximately an integer multiple of 1½ inches. The end piece is configured to be attached to an outer surface of a first structural member and the flange is configured to be attached to a side surface of a second structural member with an end abutting an inner surface the first joist, thereby securing the first and second structural member together. | 03-13-2014 |
20140157718 | EMBEDMENT ATTACHMENT SYSTEM - Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide an embedment attachment system configured to attach to a concrete form such that an embedment of the embedment attachment system has a desired edge spacing from the concrete form. Use of the embedment attachment system of the present disclosure enables precise embedment positioning with respect to the concrete form. | 06-12-2014 |
20150292207 | COMBINATION REINFORCING COUPLER AND COLUMN ALIGNMENT DEVICE - An apparatus for aligning and joining construction elements comprising threaded studs or bars protruding from opposing elements; interlocking members adapted to screw together associated with each of the opposed studs; an adjustment nut screwable on one of the studs wherein, the adjustment nut is screw jacked against one of the interlocking members to align the elements and then locked and encapsulated by screwing together the interlocking members. There can be additional stud or bar alignment means associated with the apparatus. | 10-15-2015 |
