Support apparatus for supporting one or more objects from a concrete structure

Support apparatus for supporting one or more objects from a concrete structure disposed on metal decking having channels, said support apparatus comprising in combination:

• an insert for attachment to the metal decking for embedment in the concrete structure, said insert including an elongated, flat insert base having a length exceeding the length of a channel in the metal decking enabling the insert to span the channel, a double-ended top member connected at one end thereof to said elongated, flat insert base and disposed above said elongated, flat insert base and an insert leg attached to the other of the ends of said top member and extending downwardly from said top member, said insert leg having a leg distal end engaging said elongated, flat insert base;
• and
• a hanger rod connected to, extending downwardly from, and supported by said insert, said hanger rod including a substantially straight, elongated first hanger rod segment and a second hanger rod segment bent relative to said substantially straight, elongated hanger rod segment and extending laterally away from said substantially straight, elongated hanger rod segment, said second hanger rod segment extending over, engaging, and supported by said top member.

In combination:

• a concrete structure;
• and
• support apparatus imbedded in the concrete structure for supporting one or more objects from the concrete structure, said support apparatus including an insert imbedded in the concrete structure, said insert including an insert base, a double-ended top member connected at one of the ends thereof to said insert base and disposed above said insert base and an insert leg attached to the other of the ends of said top member and extending downwardly from said top member, said insert leg having a leg distal end engaging said insert base, and a hanger rod connected to, extending downwardly from and supported by said insert and partially imbedded in the concrete structure, said hanger rod including a substantially straight, elongated first hanger rod segment and a second hanger rod segment bent relative to said substantially straight, elongated first hanger rod segment and extending laterally away from said substantially straight, elongated first hanger rod segment, said second hanger rod segment having a hanger rod distal end, said substantially straight, elongated hanger rod segment extending upwardly past said insert base and alongside said insert leg, and said second hanger rod segment extending over said top member.

In combination:

• a concrete reinforcement member;
• support apparatus supporting said concrete reinforcement member and for supporting one or more objects from a concrete structure, said support apparatus including an insert for embedment in the concrete structure, said insert including an insert base, a double-ended top member connected at one of the ends thereof to said insert base and disposed above said insert base and an insert leg attached to the other of the ends of said top member and extending downwardly from said top member, said insert leg having a leg distal end engaging said insert base, and a hanger rod connected to, extending downwardly from, and supported by said insert, said hanger rod including a substantially straight, elongated first hanger rod segment and a second hanger rod segment bent relative to said substantially straight, elongated first hanger rod segment and extending laterally away from said substantially straight, elongated first hanger rod segment, said second hanger rod segment having a hanger rod distal end, said substantially straight, elongated hanger rod segment extending upwardly past said insert base and alongside said insert leg, and said second hanger rod segment extending over said top member, said hanger rod connecting said concrete reinforcement member to said insert.
