Anchor system for concrete construction

Abstract

An anchor system and method to provide support in concrete construction including a concrete-embeddable body having an aperture, one or more concrete anchor legs situated on a first plane, and one or more concrete anchor members situated on a second plane that is different from the first plane, and a strap having a matable head and an elongated strap body, wherein the matable head of the strap lockingly engages the aperture of the concrete-embeddable body.

1 . An anchor system to provide support in concrete construction comprising:
 a concrete-embeddable body having an aperture, one or more concrete anchor legs extending from the concrete-embeddable body and situated on a first plane, and one or more concrete anchor members extending from the concrete-embeddable body and situated on a second plane that is different from the first plane; and   a strap having a matable head and an elongated strap body;   wherein the matable head of the strap lockingly engages the aperture of the concrete-embeddable body.   
   
   
       2 . The anchor system according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a lip extension portion situated around a circumference of the aperture of the concrete-embeddable body.   
   
   
       3 . The anchor system according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a neck portion on the strap having upper, lower, and inner abutment surfaces that are sized and shaped to partially surround the lip extension portion.   
   
   
       4 . The anchor system according to  claim 1 , wherein the strap is inserted within the embeddable body via the aperture. 
   
   
       5 . The anchor system according to  claim 1 , wherein the strap lockingly engages the embeddable body via a rotation of the strap. 
   
   
       6 . The anchor system according to  claim 1 , wherein the strap lockingly engages the embeddable body via a threaded end of the strap and a corresponding threaded portion of the aperture. 
   
   
       7 . The anchor system according to  claim 5 , wherein the rotation of the strap is a 90 degree rotation. 
   
   
       8 . The anchor system according to  claim 1 , wherein the aperture is elongated from a first end of the embedded body to a second end of the embedded body to permit various positioning of the strap at the first end, the second end, and anywhere therebetween. 
   
   
       9 . The anchor system according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 one or more apertures through each of the one or more concrete anchor members; and   one or more apertures through each of the one or more concrete anchor legs.   
   
   
       10 . A method of using an anchor system to provide support in concrete construction comprising:
 embedding a body into a portion of concrete, the body having an aperture that extends from the portion of concrete, one or more concrete anchor legs extending from the body and situated on a first plane to anchor the body into the portion of concrete, and one or more concrete anchor members extending from the body and situated on a second plane that is different from the first plane to anchor the body into the portion of concrete; and   mating a strap having a head and an elongated strap body to the aperture of the body.   
   
   
       11 . The method of using the anchor system, further comprising:
 extending one or more studs through one or more apertures through the concrete anchor legs and concrete anchor members.   
   
   
       12 . The method of using the anchor system, wherein the body is formed from a single piece of metal.
