A connection between a hoist and a wall is provided wherein a clip connects a sling of the hoist to the wall, and the clip includes a plate portion having an eye opening receiving the sling. The clip also includes a tongue portion extending from the plate portion, the plate portion lying in registration with the outer side surface of the wall, and the clip also includes an extension flange, extending from and connected to the plate portion at an angle thereto and at an angle to the tongue portion. The extension flange is disposed in registration with the top surface of the wall. Fasteners connect the tongue portion of the clip to the outer side surface of the wall and connect the extension flange to the top surface of the wall.
Claims10
A system for lifting a wall, the system comprising:
- a. a hoist, having at least one sling;
- b. a wall having a top surface and an outer side surface;
- c. a clip connected to the wall and the hoist, the clip comprising:
- i. a substantially planar plate portion having an eye opening, the eye opening receiving the at least one sling connected to the hoist and the plate portion extending above the top surface of the wall;
- ii. a substantially planar tongue portion extending from and connected to the plate portion, part of the plate portion also lying in registration with the outer side surface of the wall, with the tongue portion having a plurality of fastener openings and also lying in registration with the outer side surface of the wall;
- iii. at least one substantially planar extension flange, extending from and connected to the plate portion at an angle thereto and at an angle to the tongue portion, the at least one extension flange being disposed in registration with the top surface of the wall, the at least one extension flange being formed with a single fastener opening that is closer to the end of the extension flange than the plate portion, wherein the clip is in registration with only the outer side surface and the top surface of the wall;
- and
- d. fasteners connecting the tongue portion of the clip to the outer side surface of the wall;
- and a single fastener connecting each of the at least one extension flange to the top surface of the wall, and wherein the fastener openings in the tongue portion are in substantial alignment and are the only fastener openings in the clip that receive fasteners that couple the clip to the outer side surface of the wall and the fastener opening in the tongue that is closest to the eye opening in the plate portion of the clip is below the at least one extension flange, wherein no more than five fasteners are used to connect the clip to the wall.
