A masonry anchor comprising an anchor member having a socket formed in one end, the socket being configured to receive and secure a mounting portion of a mounting fastener.

A direct fastening fastener particularly suited for use in normal weight or lightweight composite deck system. The fastener is heat treated to a dual-hardness level so that a portion of the fastener is capable of driving into the support member, such as a joist and a decking member. The remaining portion of the fastener remains relatively ductile so that it can withstand and transfer shear loads imposed by shifting of the concrete slab, which overlies the composite decking, to the support member. The fastener can be a single or multiple piece fastener which includes specially formed annular flanges that enhance interlocking between the fastener, the concrete slab and support members.

An adjustable railing post-to-substrate embed system for anchoring a railing post having a railing base with plural railing base anchor holes includes: a plate, having anchor holes; a plurality of nuts, a first end of each nut being arranged proximate a respective one of the anchor holes, the first end of each nut being configured to be selectively and removably threadingly engaged, via the respective anchor hole, with one selected from the group consisting of: respective upper protective bolts, and respective bolts of the railing base; and a plurality of anchors, each being configured to adjustably threadingly engage a second end of a respective one of the nuts, distal the respective anchor hole, each of the anchors being individually adjustable in length by threadable engagement with the second end of the respective one of the nuts.

An anchor includes a body having a first end and a second end; the body having a side wall between the first end and the second end; the body including an axial hole extending from the first end into the body, the axial hole for receiving an end portion of a rod; and the body including a first longitudinal cutout extending into the side wall to create a first opening into a first portion of the axial hole to expose an end portion of the rod to be inserted in the axial hole to be welded to the body.

The present invention relates to a device and a method associated with the device. With respect to the device, it is a structural connector for fastening structural components in insulated concrete formwork (ICF). The structural connector consists of a double threaded cylinder bolt assembly that aligns through openings in the ICF wall. One end of the cylinder bolt assembly embeds into the cavity of the ICF wall where openings in the cylinder bolt assembly receive concrete and reinforcement bars. The other end of the cylinder bolt assembly is threaded to receive a double threaded washer head bolt. The cylinder bolt assembly is used to mount ledger boards, floor joist hangers and roof truss connectors to the ICF wall, locking them together acting as one unit in withstanding bending and uplift loads imposed by large forces such as floor and roof truss systems.

An undercut anchor having an at least partially threaded rod portion having an outer thread diameter D.sub.ROD. The anchor having an expansion feature coupled to the rod portion and an expansion sleeve having an outer diameter D.sub.OUTER SLEEVE, an inner diameter D.sub.INNER SLEEVE and a wall thickness T.sub.SLEEVE. Furthermore, the expansion sleeve has a plurality of circumferentially distributed fingers which are configured to flex outwards when a ramp portion of length L.sub.RAMP of each of the respective fingers is forced against the expansion feature during installation of the undercut anchor. The fingers each having a length L.sub.FINGER and a distance therebetween of W.sub.SLOT.

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 combined anchor and fastener that includes an anchor baseplate having at least one throughbore extending between a top surface and a bottom surface of the anchor baseplate. An elongated post is coupled to the anchor baseplate with an at least partially threaded, internal cylindrical bore for receipt of a mechanical fastener which extends between a first end and a second end of the post whereupon the post internal bore is in alignment and registry with the throughbore of the baseplate. The post includes a second end portion depending from the bottom surface of the anchor baseplate such that the bottom surface of the anchor baseplate is configured to abut and lie generally flush against a portion of a concrete structure apart from a portion which is covered by the post second end portion. The disclosure includes further embodiments as well as a method of anchoring and fastening an object to a concrete structure.

A reinforcing bar joint includes: cylindrical bodies each including an inner surface including a female thread part; joint members each including one end portion including a joint male thread part; and a connecting member configured to connect a pair of the joint members which face each other, such that the pair of the joint members are allowed to move in the longitudinal direction and in an orthogonal direction to the longitudinal direction. Each of the cylindrical bodies includes one end portion configured to threadedly engage with a reinforcing bar male thread part at an end portion of one of reinforcing bars, and the other end portion configured to threadedly engage with the joint male thread part at the one end portion of a corresponding one of the joint members.
