Thereafter, the panel is positioned and can serve as a wall of a concrete building.
- the invention is, however, not limited to panel tilt-up operations. The system may be employed without modification in the lifting of a panel for transport or other purposes.

Abstract
Description
- This invention relates generally to anchors for lifting heavy loads and more particularly, to erection anchors of solid material that are embedded in a precast concrete member for both tension and shear load conditions.
- The present invention relates to an erection anchor for lifting a concrete panel or structure by its edge, for example, in tilting a precast wall panel. Such a panel is often formed by pouring concrete into a form at floor level, either at, or remote from, a construction site. After the concrete has set or hardened, the horizontal panel is tilted or pivoted on one edge at one end by lifting an opposite end until the panel becomes vertical. Thereafter, the panel is positioned and can serve as a wall of a concrete building. The invention is, however, not limited to panel tilt-up operations. The system may be employed without modification in the lifting of a panel for transport or other purposes.
- Heretofore, in the production of precast concrete members or panels that are to be handled by an edge-lifting operation, it is the practice to embed anchors of steel or iron in the precast concrete member. When lifting operations commence, the partially embedded anchor imposes substantial shear forces or stress into the concrete panel. To reduce the concentration of shear forces, it is known to attach a shear force resisting member or shear plate to the anchor body. A shear plate may be a length of right angle bar stock or a length of rectangular bar stock that is welded to the body of the erection anchor. With some known erection anchors, a shear plate is attached to only one side of the anchor body. Such an erection anchor must be oriented in the concrete panel such that the shear plate faces the direction of the lift force. In other words, in its horizontal orientation, the concrete panel has major upper and lower surfaces; and the erection anchor must be oriented such that the shear plate is between the erection anchor body and the upper major surface as well as substantially parallel to the upper major surface. Thus, as the concrete panel is lifted, the shear plate spreads the shear forces and permits the concrete panel to better react those forces.
- The requirement to properly orient an erection anchor having a single shear plate is a further disadvantage. For example, if the anchor is misoriented by 180° and the shear plate is located between the erection anchor body and the lower major surface of the concrete panel, the shear force resisting capability of the erection anchor may be lessened. Therefore, erection anchors having a welded shear plate impose a significant burden on the user to properly orient each of the erection anchors in a concrete form before the concrete panel is poured. Such a requirement substantially increases the time and cost associated with the manufacture of the concrete panel.
- Other known erection anchors have shear plates welded to the anchor body. A disadvantage of known erection anchors with shear plates is that they are fabricated from multiple parts and thus, are expensive. The added cost of welding the shear plates to the anchor body is substantial compared to the cost of manufacturing the basic anchor to which the shear plate is being attached. Thus, the significantly greater manufacturing cost places a premium on the use of such erection anchors.
- The head of the erection anchor is located in a recess in an end of the concrete panel. Often, the head is designed to receive a shackle lifting pin. With known erection anchors, the process of connecting the shackle, lifting the concrete panel and disconnecting the shackle, often results in the lifting shackle contacting and sometimes chipping the end of the concrete panel.
- Therefore, there is a need for an erection anchor that is less expensive to manufacture, easier to use and less abusive of the end surface of the concrete panel.
- The present invention provides an erection anchor that is more cost effective and does contact the end of the concrete panel with which it is used. The erection anchor of the present invention provides integral force bearing surfaces that help the erection anchor interlock with the concrete panel. Thus, the erection anchor of the present invention is not fabricated from multiple parts and is substantially less expensive to manufacture than known erection anchors. The erection anchor of the present invention has a head that is configured to receive and secure the shackle lifting apparatus so that it cannot contact an end of a concrete panel being lifted.
- According to the principles of the present invention and in accordance with the described embodiments, the invention provides an erection anchor for use in a concrete panel having substantially parallel major surfaces and a recess in an end of the concrete panel. The erection anchor has a forged unitary body that includes a substantially cylindrical shank with one end embedable in the end of the concrete panel and an opposite end extendable into the recess in the end of the concrete panel. The forged unitary body also has a substantially cylindrical foot integrally formed with the one end of the shank with a diameter greater than a diameter of the cylindrical shaft. The forged unitary body is completed by a shackle-engageable, planar head integrally formed with the opposite end of the shank and disposable in the recess in the end of the concrete panel. The planar head has first and second opposed substantially planar surfaces and a boss integrally formed with the planar head and extending outward from the first planar surface. The boss forms a first plurality of bearing surfaces to interlock the planar head into the concrete panel, thereby increasing the strength of the interface between the erection anchor and the concrete panel.
- In one aspect of this invention, the erection anchor has a second boss extending outward from the second planar surface along a length of the first lateral edge, and the first and second bosses form a second plurality of bearing surfaces that further interlock the planar head into the concrete panel. In another aspect of this invention, third and fourth bosses extend outward from the first and second planar surfaces, respectively, along a length of the second lateral edge. The third and fourth bosses form, respectively, third and fourth pluralities of bearing surfaces. The addition of more bosses on the planar head provides additional interlocking capability between the planar head and the concrete panel and, further increases the strength of the interface between the erection anchor and the concrete panel.
- In another embodiment, the invention provides for an erection anchor to be used in a concrete panel that is lifted by a lifting device having a shackle. The erection anchor is formed by a forged unitary body having a substantially cylindrical shank with one end embedable in the end of the concrete panel and an opposite end extending into the recess in the end of the concrete panel. The forged unitary body further has a substantially cylindrical foot integrally formed with the one end of the shank and a shackle-engageable, planar head integrally formed with the opposite end of the shank. The planar head has an outer end with a cutout shaped to receive an end of the shackle and hold the shackle therein during a process of using the shackle to lift the concrete panel. Thus, the shackle does not contact the end of the concrete panel during the lifting process.
- These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become more readily apparent during the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the drawings herein.
- FIG. 1 is a plan view of an erection anchor shown in a concrete panel in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a plan view of one side of the erection anchor of FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3 is a plan view of an opposite side of the erection anchor of FIG. 1.
- FIG. 4 is a top end view of the erection anchor of FIG. 1.
- Referring to FIGS.1-4, an
erection anchor 20 is comprised of abody 22 having acylindrical shank 24 with oneend 26 connected to and integrally formed with a shackle-engageable,planar head 28. An opposite end 30 of theshank 24 is rigidly connected to and integrally formed with a generallycircular foot 32. Thefoot 32 has an outercylindrical portion 34 that is connected to the opposite end 30 of theshank 24 by afoot transition 36. The footcylindrical portion 34 has a diameter that is larger than the diameter of theshank 24. Thefoot transition 36 intersects with thecylindrical portion 34 along a circularouter edge 38. Thefoot transition 36 intersects with the shank opposite end 30 along a substantially circularinner edge 40. - The
planar head 28 is connected to the oneend 26 of theshank 24 by ahead transition 42. Thehead transition 42 has a configuration that minimizes abrupt changes in cross-sectional area in moving from theshank 24 to thehead 28. Thus, thehead transition 42 has atapered portion 44 that smoothly blends the diameter of theshank 24 into closely spacedplanar surfaces head 28. Further, thehead transition 42 includes a flaredportion 46 that smoothly blends the diameter of theshank 24 into a larger width of theplanar head 28 defined by itslateral edges planar surfaces head 28 and extend between thelateral edges head 28. The second hole 57 may receive a metal reinforcing rod (“rebar”) or may be filled with concrete to further stabilize and interlock theerection anchor 20 in aconcrete panel 73. Opposed curvilinear, generally semicircular, recesses 58, 59 are located on the respective lateral edges 48, 50 of thehead 28. Therecesses head 28 further has a cutout or notch 63 in anouter end 60. The notch 63 has sidewalls formed by two projections orears outer end 60 in line with the respective lateral edges 48, 50. - An interlocking first projection or
boss 64 extends substantially perpendicularly outward from theplanar surface 52 adjacent the firstlateral edge 48 and provides an outer bearing surface 65 a, upper and lower end bearing surfaces 67 a, 69 a, respectively, and an inner bearing surface 71 a. The bearing surfaces 65 a, 67 a, 69 a, 71 a, are substantially perpendicular to theplanar surface 52. An interlockingsecond boss 66 extends substantially perpendicularly outward from theparallel surface 54 adjacent the firstlateral edge 48 and provides an outer bearing surface 65 b, upper and lower end bearing surfaces 67 b, 69 b, respectively, and an inner bearing surface 71 b. The bearing surfaces 65 b, 67 b, 69 b, 71 b, are substantially perpendicular to theplanar surface 54 and are substantially parallel to the bearing surfaces 65 a, 67 a, 69 a, 71 a. The first andsecond bosses lateral edge 48; but therecess 58 splits each of the first andsecond bosses parts - An interlocking third projection or
boss 68 extends substantially perpendicularly outward from theplanar surface 52 adjacent the firstlateral edge 50 and provides anouter bearing surface 65 c, upper and lower end bearing surfaces 67 c, 69 c, respectively, and an inner bearing surface 71 c. The bearing surfaces 65 c, 67 c, 69 c, 71 c, are substantially perpendicular to theplanar surface 52 and are substantially parallel to the other respective bearing surfaces 65, 67, 69, 71. An interlockingfourth boss 70 extends substantially perpendicularly outward from theparallel surface 54 adjacent the firstlateral edge 50 and provides an outer bearing surface 65 d, upper and lower end bearing surfaces 67 d, 69 d, respectively, and aninner bearing surface 71 d. The bearing surfaces 65 d, 67 d, 69 d, 71 d, are substantially perpendicular to theplanar surface 54 and are substantially parallel to the other respective bearing surfaces 65, 67, 69, 71. The third and fourthsecond bosses lateral edge 50; but therecess 59 splits each of the third andfourth bosses parts - The
erection anchor 20 is drop forged from a piece of carbon steel bar stock, for example, grade 65. Thus, thehead 28 and bosses 64-70,foot 32 and connectingshank 24 form a single integral unit orbody 22 of theerection anchor 20. As will be appreciated, depending on the application and designed load carrying capability, theerection anchor 20 may vary in length and may be manufactured from bar stock having different nominal sizes. - In use, the
erection anchor 20 is molded into aconcrete panel 73 having substantially parallelopposed surfaces concrete panel 73 in a known manner, and the generally spherically shaped void 78 contains the outer most portion of theerection anchor head 28. Theconcrete panel 73 has a thickness 82 in the range of 4-12 inches and thus, is relatively thin compared to its width and length. Theconcrete panel 73 is often fabricated in a generally horizontal position either on a construction site or at a remote location and then subsequently raised into a vertical position to form a wall of a structure. - Prior to molding the
concrete panel 73, numerous erection anchors identical to theerection anchor 20 are supported and oriented in a substantially horizontal position in a known manner over a length of a concrete form (not shown). The following discussion with respect to theerection anchor 20 applies to each of the erection anchors used in the construction of theconcrete panel 73. Theerection anchor 20 must be oriented such that theparallel surfaces major surfaces concrete panel 73 to be manufactured. Thus, the bearing surfaces 65 are substantially parallel to the panelmajor surfaces major surfaces erection anchor 20 through the hole 57 and recesses 58, 59, as desired. - A void mold (not shown) is mounted on an outer end of the
head 28 and is used to form the cavity or void 78 in the end 80 of theconcrete panel 73. Thereafter, concrete is poured into the concrete form in order to produce theconcrete panel 73 and void 78 with theerection anchor 20 disposed therein. After the concrete sets, the void mold is removed; and the erection anchorouter end 60 and the hole 56 of thehead 28 are located in thevoid 78. - Subsequently, a
shackle 86 and liftingpin 88 are attached to thehead 28 of theerection anchor 20. The liftingpin 88 passes through the shackle hole 56, and the notch 63 is configured or shaped to receive theend 90 of theshackle 86. Theconcrete panel 73 is normally cast in a horizontal orientation, that is, themajor surfaces concrete panel 73, a lifting force is applied in a generally vertically upward direction, that is, to the right as viewed in FIG. 1. When the lifting force is applied, theshackle 86 applies a significant force against theear 62. Further, the lifting force may bend or deform theear 62 and allow theshackle 86 to pivot with respect to the notch 63; but theend 90 of the shackle remains in the notch 63. Thus, theshackle 86 does not contact the end 80 of theconcrete panel 73 during the process of lifting theconcrete panel 73 from a generally horizontal to a generally vertical orientation. - Further, as the lifting force is applied to the
shackle 86, theconcrete panel 73 is pivoted in a generally clockwise direction as viewed in FIG. 1 with respect to an opposite end (not shown) of theconcrete panel 73. As lifting forces are applied to thehead 28 of theerection anchor 20, those forces must be reacted by theconcrete panel 73. In that regard, the bosses and bearing surfaces 64-71 help to mechanically interlock theplanar head 28 with theconcrete panel 73. In this example, the bearing surfaces 65, 67 onbosses erection anchor 20 and theconcrete panel 73 than would theerection anchor 20 without thebosses erection anchor 20 and theconcrete panel 73 greatly increases the area over which the lifting forces can be reacted by theconcrete panel 73, thereby increasing the capability of theconcrete panel 73 to consistently and reliably react those lifting forces. - Thus, the
erection anchor 20 having the integrally formed and unitary bosses 64-70 provides several advantages over known erection anchors fabricated from multiple parts. First, theerection anchor 20 with the integrally formed bosses and bearing surfaces 64-71 is drop forged from a single piece of bar stock. No fabrication is required, and anerection anchor 20 with the integrally formed bosses and bearing surfaces 64-71 can be manufactured at a cost that is substantially the same as anchors without the bosses and bearing surfaces 64-71. Thus, theerection anchor 20 is substantially less expensive than known erection anchors. - Second, the
erection anchor 20 providesbosses lateral edges anchor head 28. Therefore, theerection anchor 20 can be located in multiple orientations within the concrete form, and further, theerection anchor 20 can support lifting forces in two directions; and thus, theconcrete panel 73 can be lifted either clockwise or counterclockwise as desired. - Third, the
outer end 60 of theanchor head 28 is configured to receive and hold theshackle end 90. Further, theears shackle 86 from contacting the concrete panel end 80 as theconcrete panel 73 is lifted to its desired vertical orientation. - While the invention has been illustrated by the description of one embodiment and while the embodiment has been described in considerable detail, there is no intention to restrict nor in any way limit the scope of the appended claims to such detail. Additional advantages and modifications will readily appear to those who are skilled in the art. For example, in the described embodiment,
bosses bosses bosses boss 64 or onlyboss 66, etc. In a still further embodiment, the bosses may be used on different lateral edges and/or different planar surfaces, for example, onlybosses bosses - As will further be appreciated, in alternative embodiments, the
planar head 28 can be made such that theplanar surfaces bosses bosses planar surfaces planar surfaces major surfaces 74 76 of theconcrete panel 73. As shown by the outer bearing surfaces 65 being cut into two parts by therecesses - In still further embodiments, the diameter and length of the
shank 24, the length, width and thickness of thehead 28 as well as the size and shape of thefoot 32 may be varied depending on the designed load requirements of a particular application. - Therefore, the invention in its broadest aspects is not limited to the specific details shown and described. Consequently, departures may be made from the details described herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims which follow.
