Hall, Jr., West Hartford, Conn, assignor to Structural Fasteners, Inc., West Hartford, Conn, a corporation of Connecticut Filed June 13, 1966, Ser. No. 557,309 11 Claims. (Cl. 52699) This invention relates to structural fasteners. More particularly, this invention is directed to insert devices for suspending articles from structures comprised of a mass of coalesced material and the forms over which such material is deposited in an uncoalesced state. Accordingly, the general objects of this invention are to provide new and improved apparatus of such character.
While not limited thereto in. its utility, the present invention is particularly well suited for use in the hanging of objects from building or structural members comprised of corrugated metal forms over which concrete has been poured, the forms being designed to be left in place in the structure. In the past, removable forms, usually of wood, were employed in the erection of concrete structures. Once assembled and properly positioned, the concrete in an uncoalesced state was poured on the forms and allowed to set. After the concrete had hardened, the forms were stripped therefrom and reused. The prior forms being wood and susceptible to repair, it was previously con sidered economically sound to attempt their salvage. However, due in part to increased labor costs and also due in part to advances in the metal fabrication arts, it is now more economical to employ forms comprised of sheets of corrugated metal which are left in place after the concrete has been poured thereon.
It is known in the art to make provision for the hanging of objects such as light fixtures, conduits and the like from the underside of concrete slabs by embedding insert members such as anchor bolts and other similar devices in the concrete. Hangers for the objects to be suspended are thereafter attached to the exposed portion of the embedded insert members, the suspended load thus being transmitted directly to the concrete. With the advent of left-in-place corrugated metal forms, it has become necessary to develop new types of concrete inserts. At the present time the most prevalent method of affixing inserts is to shoot studs through the form and into the coalesced material with a power charge. The design of inserts for corrugated metal forms is dictated not only by the configuration of the forms through which the inserts must extend since the forms are left in place, but also by the necessity that the inserts be susceptible to being rapidly locked in place on the forms to thus reduce labor costs. Coincident with rapid looking to the forms is the further requirement that, once in place, the inserts are not subject to tilting or loosening due to accidental impact thereon or to the forces to which they are subjected during the pour. Also, the inserts themselves must be susceptible to mass production so as to render their use economically feasible.
The present invention provides structural fastener insert apparatus which is intended to be embedded, in part, in a coalesceable material such as concrete, said insert being inexpensive, easy to install, inexpensive to manufacture, having desirable loading bearing characteristics and being peculiarly well suited for use with corrugated metal forms which are left in place in the structure.
As disclosed herein, a new type of insert is placed in holes specially prepunched in the metal forms. The insert with a load-fastening member is designed to have a part corresponding to the shape of the holes, and that corresponding part is placed through the hole to expose the fastening member to the underside of the form. The insert is then rotated to be locked in place and to prevent leakage of the coalesced material'during curing.
It is, therefore, an object of this invention to provide an improved structural fastener insert.
It is another object of this invention to provide a structural fastener insert which is designed to be embedded in part in a coalesceable material and which is easier to install than prior art devices of such character.
It is also an object of this invention to provide a concrete insert suited for use with forms which are to be left in place.
It is yet another object of this invention to provide a concrete insert which is suited for use with corrugated metal forms which are to be left in place, said insert being easier to install than prior art devices of such character.
It is also an object of this invention to provide a structural fastener insert for use with corrugated metal forms wherein the fastener has a threaded male member extending from the concrete.
It is also an object of this invention to provide a structural fastener insert with a fastener having a threaded member, and in which fouling of the threads by concrete water is prevented.
These and other objects of the present invention are realized by providing a concrete insert comprising a first end portion adapted to be embedded in concrete, a second end portion from which objects to be suspended from the structure may be hung and an intermediate portion which may be inserted partially through a hole provided therefor in the form and which may be securely locked in place on the form merely by rotation.
This invention may be better understood and its numerous advantages will become apparent to those skilled in the art by reference to the accompanying drawing wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements in the various figures and in which:
FIGURE 1 is an elevational view of a first embodiment of the present invention locked in place on a corrugated metal form and partially embedded in concrete.
FIGURE 2 is an enlarged elevational view of the embodirnent depicted in FIGURE 1.
paratus shown in FIGURE 2.
FIGURE 5 is a perspective view of a portion of a corrugated metal form having a pattern of holes therein adapted for receiving the insert comprising the embodiment of FIGURES 1 through 4 of this invention, one of such first embodiment inserts being shown in position.
FIGURE 6 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the present invention.
FIGURE 7 is an elevational view FIGURE 6.
FIGURE 8 is a perspective view of a third embodiment of the present invention.
Referring now to FIGURE 1, a corrugated metal form is shown at 10. In accordance with common practices in the art, form 10 is suitably positioned on supporting members. At the various points about the form, corresponding to the places on the underside of the final structure or slab where it is desired to provide means for suspending objects, fasteners such as the novel concrete insert shown at 12 are installed prior to the pouring of the concrete 14. It is often impossible and always extremely inconvenient to install inserts 12 from the bottom of the form. Accordingly, the workmen move about installing inserts 12 from the upper side of the form and, when all the holes provided for inserts in the form have inserts placed therein or have been suitably capped, concrete 14 is poured and allowed to set. Once the concrete has been poured and set,
of the apparatus of as can clearly be seen from FIGURE 1, a portion of the insert is embedded in the concrete and any load on the exposed portion of the insert will be transmitted directly to the concrete. With the metallic form being left in place, any pulling on the insert which would otherwise tend to pull it out of the concrete or shear the concrete must also pull the bolt or the concrete through corrugated metal form 10. Obviously, then, the combination of the novel inserts of this invention and the corrugated metal forrns has decided strength advantages.
The insert shown generally at 12 in FIGURE 1 may be better seen from the enlarged view of FIGURE 2. The insert comprises a bolt 16 having a head 18 of cross-sectional shape which is other than circular. Preferably, both in the interests of economy and to provide a good, nonslippable locking in the concrete, head 18 is hexagonal in shape. The end of bolt 16 which is intended to protrude from the underside of the form is threaded as shown.
A bushing 20 constitutes a locking mechanism, bushing 20 being machined or cast with an internally threaded bore so that it may be turned onto threaded bolt 16. Bushing 20 comprises a wing nut element 22, a stiff substantially rectangular washer or plate element 24 and a winged locking element 26. Washer 24 and locking element 26 are displaced from one another by a distance slightly greater than the thickness of the corrugated form material. The substantially rectangular shape of washer 24 may best be seen from FIGURES 3 and 4 while the shape of winged locking element 26 may be best observed from FIGURE 4. As noted above, wing nut 22, washer 24 and locking element 26 form an integral bushing unit 20 which may preferably be cast metal. A circular shaped flexible washer 28 of felt or rubber having a thickness corresponding to approximately of the spacing between stiff washer 24 and locking element 26 and having a diameter equal to the major axis of washer 24 occupies the space between these elements. Wing nut 22 may, in the interest of saving material, have portions 30 cut out of the wings as shown in FIGURES 1 and 2 or the wing portions be solid as shown in FIGURE 5. The holes in the corrugated form are commensurate in shape with winged locking element 26. The corresponding shapes may be seen from a comparison of FIGURES 4 and 5. The insert is installed from the top side of the corrugated form in such a manner that flexible washer 28 rests on the upper surface of the floor of a valley 30 in the form. When inserted, the major axis of washer 24 is oriented lengthwise in the corrugation and the wings on element 26 thus pass through the aperture provided in the form. Installation is completed by merely rotating the insert 90 by means of wing nut 22. As seen in FIGURE 1, this rotation causes the ends of stiff washer 24 to bite into the sloping sides 32 and 34 of the corrugations thus securing the insert in place. This securing action is sufiicient to secure the insert so that the insert will not be tilted or otherwise affected by concrete being poured over the form or by normal workman traffic on the form prior to the pour. At the same time, locking wings 26 are rotated 90 to extend across the smaller dimension of the hole to prevent withdrawal through the hole and also to cam against the underside of the form to pull washer 24 into engagement with the sides 32 and 34. Washer 28 acts as a spacer to compensate for various thickness of the metal forms and prevents leakage of water from the concrete around the insert. Such water seepage would, because of deposition of sand and other materials suspended therein, otherwise foul the threads on bolt 16 and necessitate a time consuming cleaning operation. After the concrete has been poured and set, any desired structure, such as light fixtures, ceiling supports, pipe supports, etc. may be screwed onto the exposed threaded portion of bolt 16.
Referring now to FIGURES 6 and 7, a second embodiment of the present invention is disclosed. This second embodiment comprises an object supporting element 40 which is adapted to protrude from below a corrugated metal form such as form 10 of FIGURE 1. Element 40 has a plurality of holes 42 therein through which bolts or hangers may be passed thus permitting suspension of the objects to be suported. Integral with element 40 is a head element 44 which is designed to be embedded in the concrete above the corrugated form. Elements 40 and 44 are formed from a single piece of fiat stock, the width of element 40 being less than the width of element 44. Element 44 is pressed or punched to provide protrusions 46 which extend outwardly from a first side thereof and protrusion 48 which extends outwardly from the opposite side thereof. The sides of element 44 are also provided with oppositely disposed cutouts 50. As should be obvious, the purpose of protrusions 46 and 48 and cutous 50 is to provide irregular surface areas to assist the thorough embedding of element 44 in the concrete. The end of hanger element 40 adjacent to element 44 is provided with a notch 52 having shoulders 56. A still washer 54 having the same rectangular shape as washer 24 of the embodiment of FIGURES 2 through 4, said washer having a rectangular slot therein corresponding in size and shape to the cross sectional area of hanger element 40, is inserted over element 40 and permanently attached as by welding or staking to element 44. Notch 52 is of suflicient width between elements 40 and 44 that, with washer 54 installed, the width of the notch will be approximately equal to the thickness of the metal comprising the corrugated forms. Shoulders 56 serve the function of the locking wings 26 of the previous embodiment. A flexible washer such as washer 28 of the embodiment of FIGURES 2 through 4 is not necessary with the embodiment of FIGURES 6 and 7 since there are no threads to foul. As should be obvious, the concrete insert depicted in FIGURES 6 and 7 is installed on the corrugated form in the same manner as the embodiment of FIGURES 2 through 4, with washer 54 biting into the sloping sides of the corrugations after turning, and it functions in the same manner.
Turning now to FIGURE 8, a third embodiment of the present invention is shown. Like the first two embodiments described, the insert of FIGURE 8 comprises an element 60, designed to extend from the underside of the finished structure thus enabling the suspension of objects therefrom, and a head element 62 adapted to be embedded in the concrete above the form. The embodiment of FIGURE 8 is shown with but a single hole 64 in element 60 and with the same depression-protrusion concrete locking structure in head element 62 as described above in relation to the embodiment of FIGURES 6 and 7. Element 62 does not have the oppositely disposed side cutouts which the embodiment of FIGURES 6 and 7 possesses. However, if desired or necessary, such cutouts may be provided.
The embodiment of FIGURE 8 differs from the other two embodiments disclosed in that it is formed from a single piece of material, an assembly step in the manufacture of the insert thus being obviated. The foregoing manufacturing advantage is achieved by forming a washer 66 by means of splitting element 60 lengthwise along both sides and thereafter bending the thus split side portions 68 and 70 upwardly and around as shown to substantially encircle the insert. The washer 66 is thus formed from side strips from element 60 which would otherwise be wasted, and this forming of the washer 66 eliminates the requirement for the separate washer 54 in the FIG- URE 6 embodiment and the associated assembly labor. In use, the embodiment of FIGURE 8 is identical to the embodiments above described.
While preferred embodiments have been shown and described, various modifications and substitutions may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention. For example, with the embodiments of FIGURES 6, 7 and 8, the holes in form 10 may be rectangular slots rather than having the shape shown in FIGURE 5. Accordingly, it is to be understood that this invention has been described by way of illustration and not limitation.
