An eyebolt assembly is provided in which a skirt member is reinforced by radially projecting diametrically extending ribs. A fixed lifting eye projects from one side of the skirt, and a mounting stud projects from the opposite side. The mounting stud is double threaded with one thread being adapted to mate with a threaded bore in the body of the eyebolt assembly, and the other thread being matched to a threaded bore in a load. The same eyebolt body can be employed with a plurality of different mounting studs, which simplifies inventorying eyebolt assemblies to meet all of the different threaded bores that may occur in different loads. Only the mounting studs need to be threaded to match the loads. The skirts are provided with striking faces so that they can be tightened and loosened by striking them with a hammer.
An eyebolt assembly comprising:
An eyebolt assembly including a base member having first and second sides generally opposed to one another, bounded by an outer perimeter, and having a thickness between said first and second sides, said base member extending generally laterally and having a bearing surface on said first side, said bearing surface being generally flat, said base member having a generally central region, a threaded bore in said generally central region extending from said first side at least into said thickness, a lifting loop member integral with said base member in at least about said generally central region, said lifting loop member being opposed to and projecting generally normal to said bearing surface, at least 4 reinforcing rib members integral with said base member and extending from said second face generally normal to said bearing surface, said reinforcing rib members being arrayed generally radially from said generally central region and extending approximately to said outer perimeter, each of said reinforcing rib members presenting at least a striking face extending generally normal to said bearing surface, said striking faces being disposed adjacent to and radially inwardly from said outer perimeter and accessible from said second side, a cross-bore extending at least into a said reinforcing rib member and intersecting said threaded bore, said cross-bore being adapted to receiving a retainer pin element therein, a stud member adapted to being received in said threaded bore and to being retained there by pinning engagement with said retainer pin element, said stud member being double threaded with one threaded portion adapted to being threadably received in said threaded bore and a second threaded portion adapted to projecting generally normal to said bearing surface.
