Abstract
A anchor is disclosed for suspending objects below a metal deck after concrete setting. The assembly includes an anchor body having a threaded opening, a sleeve mounted to the anchor body and defining a sleeve opening. The opening extends away from the anchor body. The sleeve also has a flexible portion that elastically flexes upon insertion of the sleeve through a hole in a metal deck. The sleeve is narrower than the width of the flexible portion. The anchor also includes a support defining a supporting channel through which the anchor body extends and that is configured to permit sliding movement, but restrict tilting movement, of the support relative to the anchor body. Also included is a spring for biasing the support along the anchor body towards the sleeve so that opposite sides of a metal deck are clamped between the support and the flexible portion of the sleeve.
