ANCHORING DEVICE.

Application filed March e1, 1913.

the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in anchoring devices and particularly to devices for anchoring silos and other structures to concrete bases.

One object of the invention is to provide an. anchoringdevice of this character which may be adjusted to allow for shrinkage of the structure anchored thereby and which will securely hold the structure in place on its base.

Another object is to provide an anchoring device of this character which will be sim ple, strong, durable and inexpensive in coneflicient and reliable in operation and well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed. I

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features 01" construction, and the combination and a1.- rangement of parts-as will be more fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a detail perspective view of a portion of the base and lower end of a silo showing the application of my improved anchoring device; Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the parts shown in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is-a detail perspective View of the anchoring device.

My improved anchoring device comprises a base member consisting of an anchoring bolt or rod 1 having on one end an eye or loop 2 and havingits opposite end bent at a suitable angle as at 3, said end beirig threaded to receive a clamping nut a for a'purpo se described. V ien thus constructed the anchoring member with the ex ception of the angular threaded end is adapted to be embedded in a'concrete base B which is ,here shown as the base of a silo. The 11 per angular threaded end 3 of the bolt w en thus embedded in the base 13. projects above the top or upper surface of the base near the 'n'lter side or corner thereof as 5&- shown.

Specification of Letters iPatent.

of the 111- Serial No. 758,072

The adjustable member of the device comprises a right angularly shaped plate5 i the lower or base portion of which is formed a central longitudinally disposed slot 6 which extends from .near one end of said base portion to near the opposite end thereof as shown. The opposite upwardly extending arm of the plate 5 is adapted -to be engaged with the outer side of the silo S or other structure to which the device is applied, said arm being securely fastened to the outer in the upwardly extending arm or member of the plate is an ofiset bend or loop 8 which is adapted to engage or fit over the hoop or bands H of the silo as shown.- The adjustdevice when able member or plate 5 of the thus constructed and fastened to the silo has its lower or base portion engagedwith the topof the base B of the silo in position to receive the angular end 3 of the anchoring bolt or member 1, said angular end of the bolt projecting upwardly through' the slot 6 in the lower or base member of the plate and has screwed thereon the nut 4 whereby the lower or base member of the plate 5 is securely clamped and fastened to the top of the concrete base B of the silo or other structure thereby securely fastening the same to the base. When the body of the silo or other structure has shrunk and it becomes necessary to tighten the hoops or bands H for drawing the shrunken parts into tighter engagement, the clamping nuts 4-. may be loosened on the ends?) ofthe anchoring members 1 which will permit the adjustable members of the device to be moved inwardly with the other structure after which the nuts 4: may be again tightened and the adjustable mem- %ers of the device clamped to the concrete ase.

It will be understood that as many anchoring devices as'dcsired or needed may he emplo""d and that they. are arranged at suitable intervals around the lower end of the structure to which they are applied and will securely anchor the latter to its base.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction and operation of the invention will be readily understood without requiring a more extended explanation. Various changes in the form, proportion parts of'the silo or- Iatented Nov. 11, 1913.

side of the silo by bolts 7 or other I suitable Iastemng devices as shown. Formed and the minor details of construction may be resorted to withoutdeparting from the principleb'r sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention as claimed.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is;

1. An anchoring device comprising a bolt adapted to be embedded in a concrete base and having one end threaded and bent to project from the base, an adjustable member comprising an angular plate, one arm of which has a longitudinal slot therein to receive the threaded projecting end of saidanchoring bolt and the other arm being adapted to engage the structure to be anchored and having an offset to fit over hoops or bands on the structure anchored, means to rigidly fasten said adjustable member to the structure, and a clamping nut engaged with the threaded end of said anchoring bolt.

2. In an anchoring device of-the charac ter described, an anchoring member comprising a bolt adapted to be embedded in a concrete base and having on one end an eye and having its opposite end threaded and bent at an angle to project perpendicularly from the top of the base, an adjustable member comprising a right angular late, the lower portion or arm of which has ibrmed therein a longitudinal slot adapted to receive the threaded projecting end of Sllld ZIIIClIOI'lII the top of the concrete base of the structure.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
