Abstract: A base connection is provided for supporting a concrete wall panel on an underlying support structure. The base connection comprises a generally vertical mounting plate, a wall plate, a pair of slips, and a cover plate secured to and extending upwardly from the support structure. The mounting plate includes one or more generally vertically-elongated slots. The wall plate is embedded within the concrete wall panel toward a lower end defined by the concrete wall panel. The cover plate is located outwardly of the mounting plate. An inner slip plate is located between the mounting plate and the wall plate, and an outer slip plate is located between the cover plate and the mounting plate. Threaded connectors extend interconnect the cover plate and the embedded wall plate, extending through openings in the slip plates and through one of the generally vertically aligned slots in the mounting plate.

Abstract: A small, self-contained portable back-hoe has a wheeled frame with a towing tongue for over-the-road trailering. Pivoted outriggers are connected to the back and a third support is secured to the front of the frame. Cylinder units are coupled to position the supports for digging and in raised position for trailering. The bucket and articulated boom assembly is affixed to the frame with a vertical pivot and includes cylinder units for digging operation thereof. An operator station and a hydraulic power supply source or system is secured to the front of the frame. A special hydraulic supply is integrated into the front framework. The back-hoe boom assembly and operating assembly are balanced about the single axle for convenient positioning. The bucket assembly and three-point support are arranged to minimize the tipping of the frame as a result of the digging forces. A gasoline driven high efficiency industrial-type pump is connected to the cylinder units with a filter and the suction side.
