To @33 wwm 'may concern:

Be it known that L HENRY RUrNnLLo, a citizen ofthe United States, and a resident of Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have ini/exited a new and `improved Vall Concrete Anchor, ci which the following is a uli, ciear, and enact description.

rllhis invention relates to anchoring devices and particularly to wall anchors, and has for an object the y revision of an iniproved construction which will not only act as anV anchor, but will act as a reiniorcingV and supporting means for the wail.

Another object in view isto provide an anchor for concrete walls arranged with means for causing the fixture to be anchored thereon to firmly |press against the anchor and the waii. v l r A stiil further object in view is to provide an anchor with retaining ears for receiving securing pins, whereby the pins may be easily removed after the wall has been east.

In the accompanying drawing: l

This is necessary in order to accommodate the anchoring bolts or hars 8 and 9 which are oprovided with a rounded head 10 and ll adapt ed to be forced through the openings lin the face i3 of the respective anchors 3 and then down theface of the cams 1li and 15. When the parts are in the position shown in Figs. 3 and t the worlnnen may point up the crnamentai .fixture if desired so as to prevent any cracks or the like. Before appiy ing the fixture the face intended to Contact with. the wall is usually .'irst covered with niortar or cement so as to prevent any cracks loetween the xture and the wall. Thecenient also acts to hold the fixture in place in addition to the anchor. ift will he observed that the cani faces le and l5 act continuaiiy to draw in the hoits 8 and 9 and consequentiy act continually in a manner to cause the entire fixture press against the wall l. The iin ture Z may he as shown in the drawin or may henny other form of ornament desired and supported hy one anchor or by a large number of anchors. :in addition to providu ing members 4f and 6 for the anchor 3 apertured lugs 16 are provided which accommodate the various pins or headless naiis 1'." as shown in Fig. 7 whereby the anchor may he connected to the r'orm or mold 18 in to heid the same in place while the wall is "Doing cast. r:Chis structure permits the easy removal the iorni from the anchor withontin'jnring the form, the anchor or the g o .j 1 inain ancnor o. I o and 4e the anchor 2% is hohen' except tor the cana members iii i5 wherez-y the heads 10 and may reeiy enter and move downward teward the bottom of the'anchor until the fixture 7 is'pressing against the wall l. This anchor is intended to be used for supporting ornaments on the exterior of buildings so that the walls may be cast perfectly straight and consequently a more Simplified mold or form may be utilized. After the Wall has been completed any desired projections, shelves or ornaments may be added by anchoring the same with anchoring members 3 and then pointing up the respective ornaments or other features. lf desired the anchers 3 may be used interiorly of the building for supporting shelves or other fixtures Without departing from the spirit of the ini"ention.

In forming the ornamental. fixture or other fixtures the same is preferably provided with a reinforcing Wire or other'member 20, 4for not only reinforcing the fixture, but also for assistin holding in place the anchoring bars.- ln addition, from Fig. 3 'it will be seen that the bottom of the opening in the anchor 3 is inclined at 19 so that'water entering will freely and quickly pass out; the anchor is still open; this prevents accuinulae` tion of ice in the anchor which would have a tendency to crack the anchor and prevent the proper fitting of the heads of the anchor- `in bolts 8 and 9.

hat I claim is: 1. A cast wall'anchor comprising a body7 having an anchoring arm extending rear- Wardly therefrom, said arm being positioned in the upper part of the body and formed with a support for supportin a reinforcement, and a second diagona. y arranged arm or lug at the lower part of the body extending in a direction substantially at right angles to the first mentioned am", and interlocking means for receiving an article .to be connected to said body.

- 2. A cast wall anchor comprising abody having a plurality of apertured lugs castintegral therewith and adapted to receive temporary securing means, a pair ofrearwardly extending arms, one near the top and one near the bottom, extending substantially at right angles to each other, andr a pair of spaced cam members forming a front wall for the body, said cam members having a slot therebetween and an openin at the top whereby an article may be inter ocked with the anchor.
