Abstract
An apparatus wherein a sill member or anchored member is connected to a concrete foundation or anchoring member by a connector, the connector having an embedment member and an attachment member connected to the upper end of the embedment member and extending away from the embedment member. The connector attaches to the side of sill member with fasteners.
Claims20
A connection anchoring an anchored structural member to an anchoring structural member with a connector, comprising:
- a. the anchoring structural member which is a cementitious foundation having a generally horizontal top surface and a perimeter face that meets said top surface at a perimeter edge;
- b. an anchored structural member, having a lower support member having a top face and a side surface, said side surface of said lower support member being positioned in substantial parallel relationship with said perimeter face of the said concrete foundation;
- wherein
- c. said connector includes an embedment member embedded at an angle to said top surface of said foundation, said embedment member having a plurality of legs each having a selected length along a longitudinal axis of the connector, said legs being substantially separated from each other along substantial portions of their selected lengths, said embedment member having an upper end with an upper terminal edge positioned adjacent the perimeter edge of said foundation and extending downwardly within said foundation, each said leg having a distal end positioned inwardly from said perimeter face of said foundation, and each said leg extending substantially to the upper end of said embedment member;
- d. said connector includes an extension member connected to said upper end of said embedment member at said upper terminal edge of said embedment member, extending away from said upper terminal edge of said upper end of said embedment member and said foundation perimeter surface;
- e. said connector includes an elongated, unitary attachment member connected to said extension member and said legs of said embedment member through said extension member, said unitary attachment member having a lower elongated border where said unitary attachment member connects to the extension member, each said leg connecting to the unitary attachment member by having a portion that makes up the upper end of the embedment member that is connected to the extension member that is connected to the lower elongated border of the unitary attachment member;
- f. said unitary attachment member is in alignment with the side surface of said lower support member;
- and
- g. fastenings connect said attachment member to said side surface of said lower support member.
