  • Publication number: 20050252135
    Abstract: An industrial hanger assembly for attaching to a truss. The truss includes a first angle iron and a second angle iron. The first angle iron has an upper surface and an inner surface. The second angle iron has an upper surface and an inner surface. The truss has a gap between the inner surface of the first angle iron and the inner surface of the second angle iron. The hanger assembly includes a first member. At least a portion of the first member is operable to fit within the gap between the inner surface of the first angle iron and the inner surface of the second angle iron. The first member is operable to contact the upper surface of at least one of the first angle iron or the second angle iron. The hanger assembly includes a second member. At least a portion of the second member is operable to fit within the gap between the inner surface of the first angle iron and the inner surface of the second angle iron.

  • Publication number: 20050056757
    Abstract: A hanger assembly for attaching to framing. The framing has a first vertical wall and a second vertical wall. The framing also has a top and a bottom. The framing has two bearing surfaces that form a plane that is located between the top of the framing and the bottom of the framing. The two bearing surfaces form a slot that allows access to the interior of the framing. The hanger assembly includes a nut that engages the two bearing surfaces of the framing. The nut has a first thread. The hanger assembly also includes a threaded rod that contains a second thread that engages the first thread. The hanger assembly also includes a coupler that contains a third thread that engages the second thread. The distance between the nut and the coupling changes when the coupling is rotated with respect to the nut.
