- strength and performance of the anchor 10 may be optimised by varying the anchorage formations/teeth 20 profiles along the anchor 10 and/or by varying an I-beam centre web/flange 22 thickness of the anchor 10.
- the anchorage formations 20 may be varied by varying the height of the anchorages as per the blue arrows. In one example, the anchorage formations may be taller close to the head 12 of the anchor 10. The applicant has also identified that the anchorage formations 20 may be varied by varying the width of the anchorages as per the red arrows. In one example, the anchorage formations 20 may be wider toward the head 12 or, alternatively, they may be wider toward distal ends of the legs 16, 18. The applicant has also identified that the thickness of the central web/flange 22 may be varied as per the orange arrows. In one example, the central web/flange 22 may be progressively thickened so as to be thickest close to the head 12.
- a transverse dimension 24 of the anchorage formations in a direction transverse to a longitudinal direction of the respective leg 16, 18 and parallel to a plane of the anchor 10, is varied between the formations 20.
- the anchorage formations 20 are varied such that an anchorage formation 20 closest to the head 12 of the anchor 10 has the greatest transverse dimension.

- the anchorage formations 20 may be in the form of a series of spaced anchorage formations 20.
- the anchorage formations 20 may be in the form of a series of repeated spaced anchorage formations 20, spaced at regular intervals along the lengths of the legs 16, 18.
- a transverse dimension 26 of the anchorage formations 20, in a direction transverse to a longitudinal direction of the respective leg 16, 18 and transverse to a plane of the anchor 10, is varied between the formations 20.
- the anchorage formations 20 are varied such that an anchorage formation 20 closest to the head 12 of the anchor 10 has the greatest transverse dimension 26. More preferably, the anchorage formations 20 are varied such that the transverse dimensions 26 progressively reduce toward a distal end of the respective leg 16, 18.
- the anchorage formations 20 are varied such that an anchorage formation 20 closest to a distal end of the respective leg 16, 18 has the greatest transverse dimension 26.
- the anchorage formations 20 are varied such that the transverse dimensions 26 progressively increase toward a distal end of the respective leg 16, 18.
- the anchor 10 has a generally I-beam form in which the anchor 10 has a central web/flange 22, as well as ribs 28 extending along outside edges of the legs 16, 18.
- Each leg 16 ,18 has the central flange 22 in a plane of the anchor 10, each leg 16, 18 having an outer peripheral rib 28 extending along the leg 16, 18 and protruding in a direction transverse to the central web/flange 22.
- the central web/flange 22 may vary in thickness along the length of the legs 16, 18 as depicted by the orange arrows 30.
- the central flange 22 is thickest close to the head 12 of the anchor 10. More preferably, the central flange 22 is gradually/progressively thickened from a distal end of each leg 16, 18 toward the head 12. With reference to Figures 5 to 7 , it can be seen that the central flange 22 is thickest close to the head 12 (as shown in figure 6 ) when compared to the thickness of the central flange 22 close to the distal end of the leg 16, 18 (as shown in Figure 7 ).
- each leg 16, 18 has a series of spaced anchorage formations 20 along its length.
- anchors 10 in accordance with other examples, similar to the example shown in Figures 1 to 9 , and like features are depicted with like reference numerals.
- the main difference between the anchors 10 shown in Figures 10 to 36 when compared with the anchor 10 shown in Figures 1 to 9 is that the anchors shown in Figures 10 to 36 include a flange 32 provided between the legs 16, 18 to increase strength of the anchor 10 when shear loaded.
- anchors 10 shown in Figures 10 to 36 have anchorage formations 20 having a different profile wherein the anchorage formations 20 are more square in that a central anchorage edge 34 is flatter (rather than rounded), the central anchorage edge 34 terminating at either end in a more pronounced anchorage corner 36 which flares outwardly into a larger rounded anchorage edge 38.
- an anchor 10 for embedment in a concrete body for lifting the concrete body wherein the anchor 10 includes a head 12 having an aperture 14 for engagement with a lifting device, and a pair of legs 16, 18 adapted for embedment within the concrete body.
- the flange 32 is provided between the legs 16, 18 to increase strength of the anchor 10 when shear loaded.
- the flange 32 extends at least partially around a throat 40 of the anchor. More specifically, as can be seen in Figure 12 , the flange 32 extends along an inner periphery of the throat 40. It can also be seen in Figure 12 that the throat 40 is round and is substantially horseshoe shaped.
- the flange 32 has a rounded central portion 42 terminating at either side in a linear portion 44 which extends diagonally at an angle to a longitudinal axis of the anchor 10.
- the flange 32 extends around an aperture 46 for incorporating a tension bar.
- the flange 32 provides the anchor 10 with a cross-section substantially in the manner of an I-Beam (see figures 16, 17 , 24, 25 , 32 and 33 ).
- the flange 32 may provide the anchor 10 with a cross-section substantially in the manner of an I-beam along a cross-section between the throat 40 and an outside edge of each leg 16, 18.
- the flange 32 may run only along a head side of the throat 40 or the tension bar aperture 46.
- the flange 32 provides formation of an I-Beam section taken diagonally across a shoulder of the anchor 10, at an angle substantially mid-angle between a transverse axis of the anchor 10 and a longitudinal axis of the anchor 10 (that is, it may be at an angle of approximately 45° to both the transverse axis and the longitudinal axis of the anchor 10).
- the flange 32 may at either end run directly into an uppermost one of the anchorage formations 20. More specifically, the flange 32 may at either end run directly into an inside peak (tip) of the uppermost anchorage formation 20.
- Each leg has a plurality of anchorage formations 20 along its length.
- a transverse dimension of the anchorage formations 20, in a direction transverse to a longitudinal direction of the respective leg 16, 18, may be varied between the formations 20.
- the flange 32 is an example of a formation provided to increase strength of the anchor 10 when shear loaded. Accordingly, the formation provides an I-Beam section taken diagonally across a shoulder of the anchor 10, at an angle substantially mid-angle between the transverse axis of the anchor 10 and the longitudinal axis of the anchor 10.
- the formation may, for example, be in the form of a flange 32 or rib.
- Figures 10 to 36 show additional examples in which there is provided an inner flange 32 around the throat 40 (or tension bar aperture 46) of the anchor 10 to increase its strength when shear loaded.
- Figures 10 to 17 show an anchor 10, in accordance with an example, in which there is provided a flange 32 along a periphery of a substantially horseshoe shaped throat 40 of the anchor 10.
- Figures 18 to 25 show an anchor 10, in accordance with another example, in which there is provided a flange 32 in the form of an arch extending for a part 42 along a periphery of a substantially horseshoe shaped throat 40 of the anchor 10 and being angled in a linear portion 44 at either side toward an outer rib 28 of the respective anchor leg 16, 18.
- Figures 26 to 33 show an anchor 10, in accordance with an example, in which there is provided an inner flange 32 around a periphery of a tension bar aperture 46 of the anchor 10.
- Figures 34 to 36 also show the same anchor 10 as is shown in Figures 10 to 17 , having a flange 32 along a periphery of a substantially horseshoe shaped throat 40 of the anchor.
- the function is to maximise the strength of the section (shown on the drawings by a sectional view on a diagonal), by making it like an I-Beam.
- This zone of the anchor 10 is critical in reducing deflection of the anchor 10 under shear loading and hence increasing the shear load at which first cracks appear in the concrete panel when lifting in shear from the casting bed at minimal concrete compressive strength.
- the concept is shown in the ideal state in Figures 10 to 17 and Figures 26 to 33 , however this concept also covers the arrangement where the flange 32 runs around only the head side of the throat 40 (or tension bar hole 46) or slot as shown by example in Figures 18 to 25 .
- the flange or rib provides the formation of an I-Beam section through Section B-B shown in the drawings (which has the same I-beam cross section as the ideal states above.)
- the inner flange 32 ideally would be narrower than the outer flange provided by ribs 28 but could be the same width as the other flange or be wider than the outer flange.
