  • Patent number: 11753814
    Abstract: An anchor bolt fastener assembly with specialized connection capabilities and features for attaching building components to concrete slabs, walls, ceilings, and/or structural surfaces. Compression force can be established and maintained over time using a compression washer in combination with a specialized fastener stud that is designed to exploit the compression washer benefits. Methods of using exemplary embodiments include installing the anchor bolt fastener assembly relatively flush with the surface of the concrete slurry by direct insertion in the slurry using a specialized threaded anchor bolt float. Once the slurry hardens, the anchor bolt and anchor bolt float embedded in the concrete slurry cooperate with the specialized fastener stud to secure the building component to the concrete.

  • Patent number: 9512593
    Abstract: An anchor bolt device for securing a structural member to a concrete foundation is described. The anchor bolt device includes a first anchor bolt, which has an enlarged portion, a shank portion, and a tail portion. The enlarged portion extends from a first end of the first anchor bolt and has an enlarged portion cross-section. The tail portion extends from a second end of the first anchor bolt and has a tail portion cross-section. The shank portion is disposed between the enlarged portion and the tail portion and has a shank portion cross-section that is smaller than the enlarged portion cross-section. A first coupling is disposed at the first end of the first anchor bolt for securing the first anchor bolt to the structural member. A second anchor bolt may be coupled to the second end of first anchor bolt at a second coupling.
