The hanger (1) includes an elongate stem (22) for mounting the hanger (10) to the support beam (14). The stem (22) has a prismatic cross-section and a plurality of holes (26) extending therethrough in mutually perpendicular directions and graduated marking therealong.

  • Patent number: 4360994
    Abstract: A crack (12) in a concrete, cement or masonry wall (10) is repaired by injecting a fluid, liquid latex (14) into the crack (12). The exposed surface of the crack (12) is covered with a liquid, impermeable barrier (20) and then the fluid, low-viscosity, liquid latex (14) is injected through the barrier (20) into the crack (12). The liquid latex (14) subsequently cures into a solid, elastomeric state. The latex (14) substantially fills the crack and allows shifting of the wall (10) due to temperature and pressure changes or settling of the wall (10) without damaging the cured latex (14) or causing any further growth of the crack (12).
