US 2022/0145619 A1 · CONCRETE WALL FRAME ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SAME

Abstract

A concrete wall frame assembly and a method of manufacturing same is disclosed. The assembly includes two generally parallel metal plates and at least one rod extending between a first end and a second end. A first end of the rod is passed through a hole in the second plate toward the first plate until the first end engages a continuous inner surface of the first plate. The second end of the rod protrudes through the hole and extends past an outer surface of the second plate. A stud welder is connected to the either the second, protruding end of the rod, or connected to the rod between the two metal plates to stud weld the first rod end to the inner surface of the first plate. The second end of the rod is then arc welded to the second metal plate at the outer surface.

Dependent claims

A concrete wall frame assembly comprising:

a first metal plate and a second metal plate disposed in generally parallel and spaced relationship with one another;
said first metal plate presenting a continuous inner surface;
said second metal plate defining a plurality of holes disposed in spaced relationship with one another and each of said plurality of holes extending from an outer surface through said second metal plate;
at least one rod passing through a respective one of said plurality of holes and extending from a first end disposed in abutting relationship with said continuous inner surface of said first metal plate to a second end disposed in protruding relationship from said outer surface of said second plate;
said second end of said rod arc welded to said outer surface of second metal plate;
and
said first end of said rod stud welded to said continuous inner surface of said first metal plate.
