Cast-in-place anchor assembly

A cast-in-place anchor assembly for suspending objects below a metal deck after concrete pouring and concrete setting, the anchor assembly comprising:

• an anchor body having a threaded opening extending partially through it along an axis;
• a sleeve mounted to the anchor body and defining a sleeve opening which extends away from the anchor body along said axis, the sleeve also having a flexible portion that is configured to elastically flex upon insertion of the sleeve through a hole in a metal deck that is narrower than the width of the flexible portion;
• a support defining a supporting channel through which the anchor body extends and that is configured to permit sliding movement, but restrict tilting movement, of the support relative to the anchor body;
• and
• a spring for biasing the support along the anchor body towards the sleeve so that, in use, opposite sides of a metal deck are clamped between the support and the flexible portion of the sleeve, wherein the anchor body is provided with at least one feature on its outer surface which the sleeve cooperates with for mounting to the anchor body and wherein the support has features biased against the anchor body which are configured, during manufacture of the anchor assembly, to cooperate with the at least one feature provided on the outer surface of the anchor body for retaining the support and spring in connection with the anchor body prior to mounting of the sleeve to the anchor body.
