| 20100135743 | ANCHOR STUD AND METHOD OF FORMING AN ANCHOR STUD - An anchor stud includes a stud portion including a body portion having a first end that extends to a second end though an intermediate portion. A wedge member is operatively coupled to the second end of the stud portion. The wedge member includes a body having a generally frustoconical profile and is formed from a material having a Vickers hardness of between about 218 HV and about 290 HV. A sleeve element is positioned on the stud portion at the second end adjacent the wedge member. The sleeve element is formed from a material having a Vickers hardness of between about 218 HV and about 290 HV. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100303575 | Drop-In Anchor - A drop-in anchor includes a tubular sleeve having a first end and an expandable second end. The sleeve tapers in inner diameter from the first end to the second end at a sleeve taper angle. A plug is insertable in the sleeve such that when the plug is driven into an installed position in the sleeve the second end expands. The plug tapers at a plug taper angle from a head end to a tip end. A difference between the sleeve taper angle and the plug taper angle is about one degree or more. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20100303578 | DROP-IN ANCHOR - A drop-in anchor system includes a drop-in anchor having a tubular sleeve with a first end and an expandable second end. The sleeve tapers in inner diameter from the first end to the second end at a sleeve taper angle. The drop-in anchor includes a plug insertable in the sleeve such that when the plug is driven into an installed position in the sleeve the second end expands. The plug tapers at a plug taper angle from a head end to a tip end and a difference between the sleeve taper angle and the plug taper angle is about one degree or more. The system includes an installation tool configured to form a hole in a workpiece into which the drop-in anchor is insertable and to drive the plug into the installed position in the sleeve. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20110014007 | MASONRY ANCHOR - A masonry anchor includes a head and a body integral to the head and extending therefrom. At least one helical male thread surrounds the body and includes a leading face and a trailing face substantially perpendicular to the body disposed between the leading face and the head. The trailing face intersects the leading face at a thread crest. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20110038684 | Anchor Bolt - An anchor bolt for use in a hole in a base material is provided and includes a stud, a sleeve disposed about the stud and a retainer nut, disposed in operable communication with the stud and having a dimension measured from a central axis of the hole that is at least as large as a corresponding dimension of the hole. | 02-17-2011 |
| 20110176888 | MASONRY ANCHOR - A masonry anchor includes a head and a body integral to the head and extending therefrom. At least one helical male thread surrounds the body and includes a leading face substantially perpendicular to the body and a trailing face disposed between the leading face and the head. The trailing face intersects the leading face at a thread crest. | 07-21-2011 |
| 20110176889 | CONCRETE AND MASONRY SCREW ANCHOR - A screw anchor includes a body having a head end that extends to a tip end through an intermediate portion defining an axis of the screw anchor, and a plurality of threads extending along the intermediate portion. Each of the plurality of threads includes a head side surface having a first angle relative to an axis perpendicular to the axis of the screw, and a tip side surface having a second angle relative to the axis perpendicular to the axis of the screw. The first angle is between about 30° and about 40°, and the second angle is between about 15° and about 25°. | 07-21-2011 |
| 20110192945 | ADJUSTABLE WALL HANGER - An adjustable wall hanger includes a body including an outer edge that defines a web. An adjustment feature is formed in the web. The adjustment feature includes a plurality of adjustment zones that define a corresponding plurality of orientation positions for the body. The adjustable wall hanger being selectively positionable to support an object on a wall in one of the plurality of orientation positions. | 08-11-2011 |
