## Abstract

An anchorage device for keeping a truss in place with respect to a poured concrete body having an elongated housing including a longitudinal slot and anchorage members rigidly mounted to the elongated housing thereby permitting the anchorage device being anchored in the poured cement. The anchorage device also having a connecting plate assembly with a strap including several openings for fastening a truss to the plate assembly. A lifted spacer area with two slots or cuts allows the strap through. The plate assembly is slidably mounted along the slot for its proper positioning after the truss are positioned.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An anchorage device for keeping a truss in place with respect to a poured concrete body, comprising:
a) elongated housing means including a longitudinal slot;
b) anchorage means mounted to said elongated housing means; and
c) means for fastening said truss to said elongated housing means and said means for fastening said truss being slidably mounted to said elongated housing means along said slot including plate means having at least one fastening member for rigidly keeping said plate means at a predetermined position along said slot, and further including strap means for securing said truss mounted on said plate means.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The anchorage device set forth in claim 1 wherein said plate means includes spacer means for supporting said truss separated from said poured concrete body.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The anchorage device set forth in claim 2 wherein said elongated housing means includes two ends, and at least one of said ends is open, and further including a cap member for each of said open ends.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The anchorage device set forth in claim 3 further including protective means for sealing said slot to prevent said pour concrete from entering said housing.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The anchorage device set forth in claim 4 wherein said spacer means includes a raised portion of said plate means having first and second slots through which said strap means is passed.
