  • Patent number: 5588263
    Abstract: An adaptor bar is disclosed for removably coupling in fixed relation a pair of single anchor inserts used in casting concrete, thereby forming a double anchor insert. The anchor inserts are used as permanently installed lifting points in the construction of tilt-up concrete walls and the like. The adaptor bar includes T-shaped cutouts in each end which cooperate with reliefs in an elongated anchor member of a single anchor insert to allow the adaptor bar to releasably engage an elongated anchor member at each end. The inventive adaptor bar provides for an inexpensive double anchor and allows the user to only stock single anchors without the need to have a separate inventory of double anchors as well.
