An anchor track for use with a holdown anchor and an anchor assembly. The anchor track has an upwardly opening channel, a first end, and a second end. The anchor assembly is slidable within the upwardly opening channel between the first and second ends to a desired position when the anchor track is at least partially embedded in concrete. The anchor assembly extends upwardly from inside the upwardly opening channel to the holdown anchor and is couplable to the holdown anchor when the anchor assembly is positioned adjacent to the holdown anchor.

Profiled shape embedded in a concrete mass (20), to erect rails and dividing panels (25, 26).

It comprises a longitudinal shape formed by a bottom (1) and side walls (2, 3) defining a longitudinal cavity (4) with an inlet mouth at its upper edge, inside which cavity (4) seats and retains said panel (26).

Near the upper edge (18) of the longitudinal cavity (4) it is formed a tearable laminar sheet (16) monolithically attached to the internal surfaces (2a, 3a) of the sides extended between said opposite surfaces, the union of said tearable laminar sheet (16) being determined by longitudinal tearing lines (17) defining a reduction of the cross section of said laminar sheet.

The profile has alignment means (7, 8) according to a same longitudinal line and means of retention of its vertical stability (11, 12).

Each external lateral surface of each side of said shape has at least one lateral projection (9) defining the retaining means of the profile within the set concrete mass (20) and at the same time providing the vertical stability means.

A fastening rail for embedding into a concrete element has one rail back, two rail lips and two rail longitudinal sides disposed opposite one another. The rail lips delimit a slot between them. The fastening rail is realized in an anchorless manner and forms at least one undercut from the rail back in the direction of the outside of the rail lips. To improve anchoring in concrete, the rail back has profiling on its outside which is remote from the rail lips. The fastening rail is advantageously embedded into a concrete element such that the outside of the rail lips lies flush with the surface of the concrete element. A method for making a fastening rail includes producing a profiling in at least one central region of a top side of a metal plate and reshaping the metal plate to form the rail back, rail longitudinal sides and rail lips.

The present invention relates to a profiled rail (2) for fastening to a formwork (5) for at least partially embedding in concrete. The profiled rail (2) is formed in a substantially C-shaped manner along a profiled rail longitudinal axis, wherein a plurality of holes (24) are formed in the rail back (21). Plugs (1) are inserted into some of the holes (24), wherein each plug (1) has a cap section (12) and an adjoining through section (10). The through section (10) fits through the respective hole wherein the cap section butts against the rail back (21). The plug (1) has a feed-through region (13) through which an elongate connecting element (4) can be pieced being guided by the feed-through region (13). The connecting element (4) is preferably a nail or a screw and connects the plug (1) to the formwork (5) holding the profiled rail on the formwork (5).

A profiled rail assembly for casting into concrete. The profiled rail assembly includes a profiled rail including a rail body having a rail slot extending in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the profiled rail, and a reinforcing body including a head element and at least one tension element protruding from the head element, the head element opposite the at least one tension element having a head element major face defining a contact surface for a formwork element. The at least one tension element is connected to the profiled rail.

A rail assembly is provided, suitable for embedding in concrete, including a profile rail having a rail body, wherein the rail body has a first lateral wall, a second lateral wall, a first rail lip protruding from the first lateral wall, and a second rail lip protruding from the second lateral wall. The rail assembly has a reinforcing element with a force-absorbing body, wherein the force-absorbing body is positioned in front of the first lateral wall of the profile rail for contacting the first lateral wall of the profile rail with the force-absorbing body. A construction body having a concrete element, in which a rail assembly of this type is embedded is also provided, as is a method.

A combination of an anchor rail with a hammer head element for setting in concrete. In order to achieve the best possible load-carrying capacity in the longitudinal direction L of the anchor rail, the anchor rail has toothing, specifically in a region close to a slot-like opening for the insertion of the hammer head element. The hammer head element, in a force-free state, rests only on the toothing and comes to rest over an entire head upper side only in the case of increased tensile forces, as a result of which the force transmission moves outwards to side walls of the anchor rail. This facilitates the load-carrying capacity of the anchor rail with respect to tensile forces.

A building facade system which comprises an anchor. The anchor having a flange extending in a first horizontal direction and serrations along a portion thereof. A vertical mullion being held in shear and secured by shear connection to the anchor to support horizontal members forming a frame for supporting a building facade panel. The shear connection formed by a fastener coupling the anchor to an outside lateral surface of the vertical mullion. The fastener extending in the second horizontal direction through the anchor and the vertical mullion. The angle member having first and second flanges having proximal ends joined together and opposing terminal ends. The second flange being engageable with the flange of the anchor by way of a vertically-oriented coupling securing the flange of the anchor and the angle member. The angle member being securable to a building floor slab and supporting the anchor thereon.

An anchor assembly for being embedded in concrete includes a metal plate including an opening, the metal plate including a top surface and bottom surface; the opening including a wall extending from the top surface or the bottom surface; and a threaded rod operably attached to the metal plate.

A facade support system can be attached to a wall of a structure to support a veneer on the wall. A bracket of the support system that can be attached to the wall includes a connecting plate and a mounting member. A support attached to the connecting plate can be disposed in a mortar bed joint of the veneer. A standoff positioned for engagement with the wall is selectively attachable to the connecting plate in different locations for maintaining a substantially horizontal position of the support. In some instances the mounting member may have detents engageable with detents on a washer. In other instances both the connecting plate and the mounting member include detents.
