ANCHOR FOR CONNECTING TO A ROD
An anchor includes a body having a first end and a second end; the body having a side wall between the first end and the second end; the body including an axial hole extending from the first end into the body, the axial hole for receiving an end portion of a rod; and the body including a first longitudinal cutout extending into the side wall to create a first opening into a first portion of the axial hole to expose an end portion of the rod to be inserted in the axial hole to be welded to the body.
1 . An anchor, comprising:
a) a body having a first end and a second end;
b) the body having a side wall between the first end and the second end;
c) the body including an axial hole extending from the first end into the body, the axial hole for receiving an end portion of a rod; and
d) the body including a first longitudinal cutout extending into the side wall to create a first opening into a first portion of the axial hole to expose an end portion of the rod to be inserted in the axial hole to be welded to the body.
2 . The anchor as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the second end has a closed bottom.
3 . The anchor as set forth in claim 3 , wherein the axial hole extends through the second end.
4 . The anchor as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the body includes a second longitudinal cutout extending into the side wall to create a second opening into a second portion of the axial hole to expose the end portion of the rod to be welded to the body.
5 . The anchor as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the second end includes a flange.
6 . The anchor as set forth in claim 5 , wherein the second end includes a support.
7 . The anchor as set forth in claim 6 , wherein the support is detachably attached.
8 . The anchor as set forth in claim 6 , wherein a hole is provided in the flange.
9 . The anchor as set forth in claim 5 , wherein the hole is threaded.
10 . The anchor as set forth in claim 9 , wherein threads are provided in the hole of the flange.
11 . The anchor as set forth in claim 5 , wherein the flange has a hexagonal shape.
12 . The anchor as set forth in claim 5 , wherein the flange has a cylindrical shape.
13 . The anchor as set forth in claim 1 , wherein
a) the body is cylindrical with an outer diameter; and
b) threads are provided on a portion of the outer diameter of the body.
14 . The anchor as set forth in claim 5 , wherein threads are provided on an exterior of the flange.
15 . The anchor as set forth in claim 1 , wherein:
a) the second end includes an offset hole; and
b) the body includes a second longitudinal cutout extending into the side wall to create a second opening into offset hole to expose an end portion of a rod to be inserted in the offset hole to be welded to the body.
16 . The anchor as set forth in claim 15 , wherein a divider is provided on the cylinder between the first cutout and the second cutout.
17 . The anchor as set forth in claim 16 , wherein the second cutout is shorter than the first cutout; and the first cutout extends further into an interior of the body.
18 . The anchor as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the body is cylindrical.
19 . The anchor as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the body is hexagonal in cross-section.
