  • Publication number: 20210052924
    Abstract: A safety anchor apparatus is adapted for use in installation of a perimeter cable fall protection system at a construction site, e.g., involving concrete or masonry wall construction. The safety anchor apparatus may be mounted during construction of the masonry or cement block wall with relative ease and is capable of securing holding the support cable (e.g., steel cable) in a tensioned condition to meet all safety standards with regard to strength, load etc. The safety anchor apparatus is secured to embedded reinforcement bar extending through a column or rows of cement blocks. The safety anchor apparatus is selectively adjustable to accommodate masonry blocks of different sizes which may be used during construction of the support wall. Moreover, the safety anchor apparatus is adjustable to account for variations in wall design and readily deployable about the vertical reinforcement bar during application of the rows of cement blocks.

  • Patent number: 10689841
    Abstract: A construction anchoring system includes one or more anchor apparatuses which are mountable relative to a form used to create a concrete support structure. The concrete is deposited in the form and cures whereby the one or more anchor apparatuses becomes embedded within the concrete support structure. The embedded anchor apparatus is readily accessible to be coupled with, or to support, construction supplies or equipment such as ductwork, electrical cables, plumbing, sprinklers, safety lines or fences, etc. within a construction site. A plurality of anchor apparatuses may be mounted relative to the concrete form to create a system for organizing the installation of construction materials and/or safety equipment.

  • Publication number: 20190126360
    Abstract: An construction tool apparatus for facilitating the task of joining framing together includes a includes a template having a peripheral wall arranged about a longitudinal plane and with an internal chamber for reception of a section of a construction framing member of predetermined shape, a first guide defining a first guide throughbore extending along a first axis which is arranged at a first oblique angle with respect to the longitudinal plane and a second guide defining a second guide throughbore extending along a second axis which is arranged at a second oblique angle with respect to the longitudinal plane. The first and second throughbores are adapted for reception of a drill to form first and second pilot holes in the section of the framing member. The first and second oblique angles each range from about 50° to 58° degrees relative to the longitudinal plane. In one embodiment, the first and second oblique angles are substantially equivalent.
