Abstract
A beam anchor includes first and second arm assemblies, each comprising a torque arm having a jaw portion, and a slotted arm having slotted portions containing an arm slot. The jaw portions oppose each other, the slotted portions are side-by-side, and the torque arm and slotted arm of the first and second arm assemblies are coupled to a pair of braces respectively at a pair of pivot joints. The first arm assembly includes a locking mechanism, movable between a locked position locking the torque arm to its slotted arm, and an unlocked position in which the torque arm is freely pivotable. A connector pin extends into the arm slots, and a load on the connector pin causes the slotted arms to pivot away from each other, and the torque arms pivot to toward each other until the jaw portions engage a web of a beam.
