Patent number: 11814809Abstract: A foundation structure is made up of a screw that is vertically adjustable into a pile to a desired height, a ball joint connected to the screw, and load bearing components that can be adjusted on the ball joint in 3-dimensional space with respect to the position of the pile. The load bearing components include one or more plates that define one or more hollow slots into which one or more bolts can be held in place vertically while still having allowance for lateral motion. A load bearing plate at the top of the structure can be laterally translated based on movement of the bolt. The load bearing plate is removably coupled to the floor of a building. The structure allows for vertical, lateral, and angular adjustment, providing tolerance for foundation misalignments due to inconsistencies inherent to topography and/or offset between an intended and an actual point of installation.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2020Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: Samara Living Inc.Inventors: Thi Thuy Duong Tran, Margaret Bacon, Christopher Oliver, Nicole Voyen, Jean Chang
