Patent number: 7032354Abstract: The present invention relates towards an erection lift anchor with welding plate assembly for embedment in a concrete member, such as a precast or tilt-up wall. The erection anchor of the present invention allows for concrete members, such as walls, to be positioned by the use of standard lifting equipment (cranes with cable attachments, etc.) by connecting lifting attachments to the erection lift anchor which is embedded in a concrete member. The present invention also allows for concrete members to be connected together via the erection lift anchor whereby the welding plate of one erection lift anchor embedded in a first concrete member is welded to the welding plate of another erection lift member embedded in a second concrete member.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2002Date of Patent: April 25, 2006Assignee: Universal Form Clamp Co., Inc.Inventor: Rens Hansort
