A ratcheting-type rod engaging nut and assembly for releasably engaging a tie-down rod, and including a generally cylindrical body element having an upper cylindrical portion of a first diameter, a lower cylindrical portion of a second diameter less than the first diameter, and a tapered bore coaxial with and interconnecting the upper bore and the lower bore; an assembly of rod gripping segments disposed within the internal bore and surrounding a passageway for receiving a tie-down rod, each segment of the assembly including an outwardly facing surface having a tapered portion for engaging the tapered bore, and an inwardly facing surface for engaging the rod. A cap is disposed at the top of the body element and includes springs for downwardly biasing the segments into engagement with the tapered bore and for causing the facing surfaces of the segments to engage an outer surface of the rod.

An anchor for securing a threaded rod to a concrete structural element has a generally tapered conical or spherical body element configured to be seated within the concrete structural element. The anchor further includes a threaded bore extending through the body element. The threaded bore engages the threads of the rod in order to secure the rod to the concrete structural element. The body element has a generally planar top face having a top face diameter, as well as a generally planar bottom face having a bottom face diameter. Formed between the top face and the bottom face is a side wall such that the body element is formed with a taper. The taper is inserted into a complementary recess formed within the concrete structural element.

A rod tie system for enhancing the interconnection between the walls and roof framing systems of tilt-up buildings and the like including a first type of connection bracket, a second type connection bracket, a clevis bracket, a turnbuckle bracket, a transfer lug, and several lengths of threaded rod. The first connection bracket and the clevis bracket can be combined to form a single plane articulating bracket, and the second type of connection bracket and the clevis bracket can be combined to form a dual plane articulating bracket. The several lengths of threaded rod are combined with the above brackets, as needed, to form a particular rod tie system. Among the principal advantages of the present invention are that the components thereof can easily be made from readily available stock material using only stamping or shearing devices, drills and welding equipment.
摘要:
A fitting to prevent movement during seismic activity between a building structure or the like and a rod and channel support or the like connected to said building which may include anti-torque means between the anchor and the channel for preventing rotation of the anchor about the rod. The fitting is directed to a specific slot design to permit ease in access around a rod of a rod and channel support or the like.

A Flare Strut System including a plurality of strut pairs, each forming an assembly for transferring force between wall and a roof continuity element. Each assembly is comprised of two elongated strut elements, or load transfer members, each including a longitudinal rotation and adjustment member at one end thereof, a first end connector assembly for facilitating connection of one end of the strut element to a wall, and a second end connector assembly for facilitating attachment of the other end of the strut element to a continuity element connection assembly, the latter assembly being adapted to combine with a corresponding connection assembly and sandwich the continuity element therebetween. Each strut element is adapted to angularly intersect both the engaged wall and the continuity element at acute angles which are determined by the particular buildings design.

A manually adjustable structural load transferring device and system for providing tension and compression force transfer between a plurality of spaced building structural members. A pair of load transfer members are each provided with a threaded first end and a second end, the threaded first end of one of the pair of members having threads of opposite pitch to those of the first end of the other one. A coupler member has first and second threaded ends engaged with the threaded first ends of the pair of load transfer members so that the length of the assembly can be adjusted by relative rotation between the coupler member and the load transfer members. An end connection device is attached to the second end of each of the load transfer members, the end connection device including a plurality of fastener apertures and a plurality of bolt apertures for securing the base plate to a building structural member. Several embodiments of end connection devices are disclosed. The load transferring device is manually adjusted to fit the space between adjacent building structural members, and is secured to such structural members by fasteners and bolts.
