  • Patent number: 10774495
    Abstract: A stabilizer anchor securing a manufactured building to the ground while resisting movement from forces against the building, having an elongated rod with a helical flight at a first end and a connector at an opposing end, which rod slidingly receives a plate for movement relative to the rod during installation. A stabilizer member connects between a connector of the rod and an I-beam of the manufactured building for communicating forces on the building to the ground. A method of securing a manufacturing building to the ground while resisting movement in response to forces against the building is disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9206580
    Abstract: An apparatus for supporting a lateral portion of a manufactured building having a support beam, comprising a ground member for being received on a ground surface and a joist bracket attached to at least one joist in a lateral portion of the manufactured building. A pivotably attached joist tube disposed in a first position between the ground member and the joist bracket is longitudinally movable to a second position for bearing forcibly therebetween and thereby supporting the lateral portion of the manufactured building. A method of supporting a lateral portion of a manufactured building having a support beam is disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6928783
    Abstract: A frame clamp (40) for connecting a ground anchor strap (30) to I-beam (75) of manufactured home (70) includes top jaw (42), bottom jaw (52) and fastening means (60) therebetween. Top jaw (42) has engaging portion (47) on distal end (46) including arcuate bearing surface (49) for bearing against I-beam top flange distal edge (81) responsive to tension in anchor strap (30) such that clamp (40) aligns with anchor strap (30) when anchor strap (30) is not perpendicular to longitudinal axis (79) of flange distal edge (81). Strap (30) attaches to bottom jaw (52) which clamps clamp (40) to I-beam flange (76).

  • Publication number: 20030213197
    Abstract: Clamp 10 for connecting foundation system 50 to horizontal support beam 80 of a manufactured home includes a pair of members 20; each including a channel 24 for mounting members 20 opposite one another on bottom lateral flange 83 of beam 80. Lower portions 30 of members 20 are connected by bolt 40 such that tightening bolt 40 tilts members 20 and binds channels 24 on flange 83. Upper end 76 of foundation arm 70 is pivotally connected to bolt 40 between members 20. Thus, tightening single bolt 40 attaches foundation system 50 to beam 80.
