Structural fastener including coupler for threaded rod
The present disclosure provides a structural fastener includes a threaded rod coupler. The threaded rod coupler includes a split nut for coupling to the threaded rod. The threaded rod coupler further includes a housing connected to the structure coupler. The split nut may be received in the housing. The threaded rod coupler further includes first and second springs each coupled to and biasing corresponding one of first and second nut portions of the split nut toward one another. The present disclosure further provides a method of attaching a threaded rod to a structural component using a structural fastener. The method includes coupling a structural fastener to the structural component, sliding the threaded rod through a split nut of the structural component couple the rod to the structural fastener, and receiving springs secured in a nut arm of the split nut within a housing of the structural fastener.
Angled threaded rod coupling having mountable pass through coupler
Angled coupling including main pass-through coupler to allow first threaded rod to pass therethrough and second coupling extending at angle therefrom to receive second threaded rod. Angled coupling can be used for multiple purposes including, but not limited to, adjusting location of threaded rod, seismic restraints, storm surge restraints and/or providing additional mounting points for support members. Main coupler is configured to be secured to any location on first threaded rod without requiring it to be screwed onto first threaded rod. Main coupler may include first half and second half each traversing length thereof, that can be secured together at desired location on first threaded rod. Main coupler may include upper section having first approximately half of body thereof and corresponding threads and lower section having second approximately half of body (opposite first half) and corresponding threads. Angled coupling is made of high strength material (e.g., steel, cast iron, composites).

Main coupler is configured to be secured to any location on first threaded rod without requiring it to be screwed onto first threaded rod. Main coupler may include first half and second half each traversing length thereof, that can be secured together at desired location on first threaded rod. Main coupler may include upper section having first approximately half of body thereof and corresponding threads and lower section having second approximately half of body (opposite first half) and corresponding threads. Angled coupling is made of high strength material (e.g., steel, cast iron, composites).
CAPTIVE FASTENER
A captive fastener having a bushing with an internal bore extending through the bushing. A snap ring is mounted within the internal bore. A fastener having an elongated shaft mounted within the bore and adapted to reciprocate within the bore between retracted and extended positions. The free end of the fastener has threads and a flat wall adjacent the threads. A snap ring engages the bolt when the shaft is extended and retracted, the flat wall prevents the snap ring from engaging the threads.
