A deck connector that may be cast into a structural concrete element for use in joining adjacent ones of the concrete elements to each other by the use of weld plates that are movably disposed within a weld plate housing forming an element of each of the deck connectors.

Deck connector

An apparatus for connecting a lifting mechanism to a load, the apparatus comprising a hollow annular body having a radial slot extending from the periphery of the body inwardly toward a central aperture. An arcuate bolt is operatively movable within the cavity of the body between a closed position wherein the bolt traverses the slot and thereby engages the load and an open position wherein the bolt is clear of the slot and, thus, disengaged from the load. At least one connector link and an actuating link lock the bolt in the closed position until the actuating link is operated on by a release mechanism.

Apparatus for attaching a lifting mechanism to a load

A retaining wall anchor system of the type primarily used to tie retaining walls to dead men. The anchor system comprises at least one wall anchor formed of a pair of spaced apart legs joined at one end to form a U-shaped portion while the other ends are attached to the retaining wall, such that the U-shaped portion extends from the wall. At least one tie rod which has one end attached to a dead man and the other end has a loop formed thereon by bending the end back toward the other end of the tie rod, around, toward and past the tie rod, so that the tie rod end extends beyond the tie rod. The tie rod is inserted between the spaced apart legs of the wall anchor, and a locking device is removably inserted through the tie rod loop such that the tie rod is attached to the wall anchor.
