Abstract
An anchor for being embedded in concrete for attachment to a fastener to support a load comprises a plug having a main body portion extending upwardly from a base portion, the plug for being attached to a form board prior to pouring of concrete, the plug having an end portion disposed a distance from the form board; and an anchor body attached to the end portion. The plug is separable from the anchor body and removable from the concrete after the concrete is cured, leaving the anchor body embedded in the concrete, the plug providing a void in the concrete after removal to provide an access opening for a threaded portion of a fastener to attach to the anchor body.

An anchor for being embedded in concrete for attachment to a fastener to support a load, comprising:
- a) a plug for being attached to a form board prior to pouring of concrete, the plug having an end portion disposed a distance from the form board;
- b) an anchor body attached to the end portion, the anchor body is configured to generate a breakout cone in the concrete to support a load attached to the anchor body;
- c) the plug is separable from the anchor body and removable from the concrete after the concrete is cured, leaving the anchor body embedded in the concrete, the plug providing a void in the concrete after removal to provide an access opening for a threaded portion of a fastener to attach to the anchor body.
An anchor for being embedded in concrete for attachment to a fastener to support a load, comprising:
- a) a plug for being attached to a form board prior to pouring of concrete, the plug having an outside threaded end portion disposed a distance from the form board, the plug including a central opening;
- b) an anchor body attached to the threaded end portion;
- c) the plug is separable from the anchor body and removable from the concrete after the concrete is cured, leaving the anchor body embedded in the concrete, the plug providing a void in the concrete after removal to provide an access opening for a threaded portion of a fastener to attach to the anchor body.
An anchor for being embedded in concrete for attachment to a fastener to support a load, comprising:
- a) a plug for being attached to a form board prior to pouring of concrete, the plug having an end portion disposed a distance from the form board;
- b) an anchor body including an opening, the end portion being received in the opening, the end portion including a top being flush with the opening of the anchor body;
- c) the plug is separable from the anchor body and removable from the concrete after the concrete is cured, leaving the anchor body embedded in the concrete, the plug providing a void in the concrete after removal to provide an access opening for a threaded portion of a fastener to attach to the anchor body.
An anchor for being embedded in concrete for attachment to a fastener to support a load, comprising:
- a) a plug for being attached to a form board prior to pouring of concrete, the plug having an end portion disposed a distance from the form board;
- b) first anchor body and second anchor body including first threaded opening and second threaded opening, respectively, the end portion being received in the first threaded opening the second threaded opening, the first anchor body being disposed above the second anchor body, the first threaded opening being smaller in diameter than the second threaded opening;
- c) the plug is separable from the anchor body and removable from the concrete after the concrete is cured, leaving the first anchor body and the second anchor body embedded in the concrete, the plug providing a void in the concrete after removal to provide an access opening for a threaded portion of a fastener to attach to the first anchor body or the second anchor body.
