SNAP NUT CONCRETE ANCHOR ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18447825 titled 'SNAP NUT CONCRETE ANCHOR ASSEMBLY
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes an anchor device that is used to receive and secure a shaft. - The device consists of an outer housing that contains a jaw assembly. - The outer housing can be attached to a support structure, such as a building component. - The jaw assembly includes threaded jaw components. - The jaw assembly has two configurations. - In the first configuration, at least one jaw component is positioned away from the central shaft axis against the force of a biasing member. - A removable or reconfigurable holding member or stop member is used to secure the jaw component in this position. - In the second configuration, the holding member is reconfigured by the inserted shaft. - The movement of the shaft triggers the jaw component to move towards the central shaft axis and make contact with the shaft.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure describes an anchor device for receiving and securing a shaft thereto. The device includes an outer housing within which a jaw assembly is secured. The outer housing of the device may in turn be secured to or within a support structure such as a building component. Jaw components of the jaw assembly may be threaded. Furthermore, the jaw assembly has at least two configurations. In a first configuration, at least one jaw component is positioned away from a central shaft axis against the biasing force of a biasing member. A removable or reconfigurable holding member or stop member selectively secures the at least one jaw component in this position. A second configuration is the result of the holding member being reconfigured by the inserted shaft. The shaft triggers movement of the at least one jaw component toward the central shaft axis and into contact with the shaft.
