Abstract: A seismic brace for fastening to a support rod at one end and a structural portion of a building, on the other end. The brace is attachable to the support rod without disconnecting it. The brace arm part is bent at an angle of 45° to form a base bracket that connects to the support rod. A locking bracket is hinged to the brace arm to overlay the base bracket. Both the base bracket and locking bracket have a slot extending from an edge towards the middle, the slots are arranged so that they form an aperture when the locking bracket overlays the base bracket part of the brace arm to completely enclose the support rod.

Abstract: The concrete insert may be positioned in concrete structures for attachment rods or other structural fasteners. A shaft may have a head to form a projecting edge at a first end and a hole at a second end. There may be slots formed in an external surface of the shaft oriented parallel to the shaft longitudinal axis. The external surface may have multiple retaining flats positioned intermediate the slots and approximately parallel to the slots. The retaining flats may not extend to the second end. A plate groove may be circumferentially formed in the external surface intermediate the first end and the second end. A plate may have an aperture that may be the form of a lateral cross section of the shaft, and may have projections to engage the slots or the flats. A spring may be placed on the shaft between the head and the plate.

Abstract: A seismic brace having a brace arm for fastening to a support rod on one end and a structural portion of a building, on the other end, is attachable to the support rod without disconnecting it by a base bracket hinged to the brace arm and a locking bracket hinged to the brace arm or the base bracket to overlay the base bracket. Both the base bracket and locking bracket have a slot extending from an edge towards the middle with one slot offset form the other by ninety degrees (90°). The base bracket is bent at an angle of 45° from the horizontal which provides extra strength and resistance to lifting from the horizontal according to I.C.B.O. tests. The locking bracket has a conforming bend.

Abstract: An internally threaded insert anchor for use in poured concrete floors having a metal decking or a wood form is described which provides stability against skewing or misalignment due to rough action after being inserted into the metal deck or wood form, prior to the concrete being poured. Once locked into the concrete floor, the threaded insert anchor provides easy attachment for the support rods that carry the racks of utility, piping and ceiling grid systems for the building. Each threaded insert anchor is capable of accepting two different size rods or bolts with different thread cuts. The internal threaded apertures are protected from concrete intrusion during the pour by the plastic or metal sleeve. Moreover, the anchors are designed so that subsequent spraying of the ceiling with fire retardant or insulation foam will not penetrate into the threaded apertures, so as to prevent subsequent entry of the support rods.

Abstract: This invention relates to an impact actuated tool for driving a fastener by an explosive charge, particularly a tool having a housing with a barrel axially slidably mounted within the front end. A nosepiece is fixed to the front of the barrel with a muzzle at its front end for receiving a fastening element that is to be secured in a ceiling, wall or the like. A piston is slidably mounted within the bore in the barrel. The barrel is biased forwardly in the firing direction. At the rear of the tool a handle engages a firing pin which is slidably mounted within the rear end of the bore. The firing pin is biased rearwardly towards the back end of the tool. One embodiment of the tool includes a ball lock safety device to allow discharge only when the muzzle of the tool is pointed in an upward direction. The tool is fired by impacting the nosepiece against a surface to effect displacement of the barrel and firing pin against their respective biasing elements.

Abstract: An alarm circuit operatively associated with a phase-locked loop provides an error indication when the phases of the referenced signal and voltage controlled oscillator signal lose synchronization for times less than one millisecond. The alarm circuit includes an amplifier connected to receive the phase detector error signal, and an impedance connected to conduct the phase detector error signal to the amplifier. The impedance and amplifier have a frequency response corresponding to a frequency response of an associated receiver circuit, so that short duration deviations in the reference signal frequency which the receiver circuit cannot track produce an error indication and long duration deviations which can be tracked by the receiver circuit do not produce an error indication.
