The high-strength partition top anchor is a dynamic anchor that provides resistance to wall and deck separation during periods of high lateral forces. The partition top anchor is set within a slip tube embedded within the upper most portion of a partition or masonry wall and interconnected with a channel affixed to an overlying slab or deck structure.

Anchoring rail for anchoring in concrete

The invention relates to an anchoring rail with a substantially C-shaped cross section for anchoring in concrete. The anchoring rail includes a cross sectionally substantially U-shaped base body, two free limbs and at least one anchor. The base body includes a base and two side walls. The two free limbs are arranged opposite the base of the base body. The at least one anchor is arranged on the base. Between the free limbs, a slot is formed in the longitudinal direction of the anchoring rail. The anchoring rail has at least one thickened portion on the base body.

Combination of anchor rail and hammer head element

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.

Advanced curtain wall mullion anchoring system

A curtain wall mullion anchoring system that does not require adjustability among the anchoring system components and the mullion to account for construction tolerance. The anchoring device can be accurately installed on a cured concrete floor slab at the proper in-and-out and left-and-right positions. A mullion connector is engaged with the anchoring device and the mullion to transfer reaction forces on the mullion to the building structure via the anchoring device. The mullion connector is slidably engaged with the mullion such that the mullion connector can slide along the length of the mullion and will be placed at the proper up-and-down position by simply sliding the mullion connector down the mullion to the anchoring device on the concrete floor slab.

FOUNDATION-BASED TRAILER ALIGNMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD
20190234062 · 2019-08-01 ·

An alignment system, a trailer frame alignment system and a method of aligning a trailer frame upon a foundation, the system including a foundation having at least three contiguous vertical walls, a trailer frame guide system including a pair of opposing guides on corresponding opposing walls of the at least three contiguous vertical walls, and a stop guide on the other of the at least three vertical walls between the corresponding opposing walls. The pair of opposing guides on the corresponding opposing walls include a tapered portion having a first distance defined between the pair of opposing guides at distal ends of the pair of opposing guides from the stop guide, the first distance being greater than a second distance defined between the pair of opposing guides between the distal ends of the pair of opposing guides and the stop guide.

PROFILED RAIL WITH PLUG FOR FASTENING TO FORMWORK
20190226200 · 2019-07-25 ·

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).

WALL SECURING ASSEMBLY FOR SECURING AN ELEVATOR COMPONENT
20190210839 · 2019-07-11 ·

A wall securing assembly is integrated into an elevator shaft wall for securing a guide rail to the wall. The wall has a first concrete region that is reinforced with reinforcements and a second concrete region that is not reinforced. The second region covers the first region and has a surface that is exposed to the surroundings. The securing assembly has an elongated profile of C-shaped cross-section embedded solely into the second region and oriented in the vertical direction of the wall. Since tensile forces acting on a guide rail in an elevator shaft are very low, it is acceptable to secure the guide rail to the profile that is cast into the second region covering the reinforcement. The profile is anchor element-free and can be arranged in the wall vertically whereby guide rail holding consoles can be secured to the profile at any height.

Anchor channel and combination of anchor channel and hammerhead element

An anchor channel of C-shaped cross-section for embedding in concrete, wherein a lip which adjoins the slot-like opening has been reinforced. In order to achieve high holding forces against withdrawal of a hammerhead element, a setting angle assumes a maximum value in a region that is located closer to the side wall than to the opening.

Precast concrete member with prefabricated plate and fixing channels
10260225 · 2019-04-16 ·

The present invention relates to a precast concrete member using a PC member, which comprises a prefabricated plate and fixing channels, and is used as a linear member for a column which is an axial force member, as a planar member for a wall which is an axial force member, or as a linear member for a beam or a girder which is a flexural member. A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a premade precast concrete member having a PC body formed at a predetermined length and multiple steel reinforcements embedded within the PC body along the longitudinal direction, the precast concrete member comprising: a plate assembly in which a pair of board-like plates having a pair of coupling holes formed to be penetrated at a regular interval are formed so as to be spaced apart from each other and to face each other, or two pairs of board-like plates are spaced apart from each other so as to face each other, with one end of each thereof being embedded into one or both longitudinal ends of the PC body, and the other ends thereof protruding, wherein the plate assembly comprises a connecting member of which a part embedded into the PC body of the plate is welded to one side of the steel reinforcement, and both ends are respectively bolt-coupled to the coupling holes of a pair of plates so as to connect a part embedded into the PC body of a pair of facing plates; and fixing channels which comprise a U-shaped channel having an opening formed on the top thereof and multiple anchor bodies coupled to the rear surface of the U-shaped channel, the opening of the U-shaped channel comprising a rib which is formed to be bent inwardly, wherein at least two rows of fixing channels are embedded at regular intervals into one side surface of the width direction of the PC body or into at least one pair of corresponding surfaces of the width direction of the PC body.
