Alignment plate for mounting a structure to a foundation
An alignment plate for mounting of a structure to a foundation includes: a generally planar main body having a center, a length direction and a width direction that is perpendicular to the length direction; and a plurality of first mounting slots in the main body and a plurality of second mounting slots in the main body, wherein the first mounting slots extend in the length direction and the second mounting slots extend in the width direction.
1. An alignment plate for mounting of a structure to a foundation, comprising:
a generally planar main body having a center, a length direction and a width direction that is perpendicular to the length direction;
a plurality of first mounting slots in the main body and a plurality of second mounting slots in the main body, wherein the first mounting slots extend in the length direction and the second mounting slots extend in the width direction; and
a plurality of first rods inserted through the first mounting slots and a plurality of second rods inserted through the second mounting slots,
wherein the first mounting slots enable a position of the alignment plate to be adjusted in the length direction and the second mounting slots enable the position of the alignment plate to be adjusted in the width direction,
wherein two of the first mounting slots define a first pair aligned along the length direction,
wherein two of the second mounting slots define a second pair aligned along the width direction, and
wherein two of the second mounting slots define a third pair aligned along the width direction.
2. The alignment plate defined in claim 1 , wherein one of the first pair of first mounting slots is located nearer to the center of the main body than the other of the first pair of first mounting slots.
3. The alignment plate defined in claim 1 , wherein one of the second pair of second mounting slots is located nearer to the center of the main body than the other of the second pair of second mounting slots.
4. The alignment plate defined in claim 1 , wherein one of the third pair of second mounting slots is located nearer to the center of the main body than the other of the third pair of second mounting slots.
5. The alignment plate defined in claim 4 , wherein ends of the second pair of second mounting slots are aligned with ends of the third pair of second mounting slots in the length direction.
6. The alignment plate defined in claim 5 , wherein the second pair of second mounting slots is nearer the center of the main body than the third pair of second mounting slots.
7. The alignment plate defined in claim 5 , wherein two of the first mounting slots define a first pair aligned along the length direction.
8. The alignment plate defined in claim 6 , wherein a first pair of first mounting slots is located nearer to the center of the main body than the other of the first pair of first mounting slots.
9. The alignment plate defined in claim 8 , wherein two of the first mounting slots define a second pair of first mounting slots, wherein ends of the second pair of first mounting slots are aligned in the width direction.
10. An alignment plate for mounting of a structure to a foundation, comprising:
a generally planar main body having a center, a length direction and a width direction that is perpendicular to the length direction; and
a plurality of first mounting slots in the main body and a plurality of second mounting slots in the main body, wherein the first mounting slots extend in the length direction and the second mounting slots extend in the width direction,
wherein two of the second mounting slots define a first pair of second mounting slots aligned along the width direction,
wherein one of the first pair of second mounting slots is located nearer to the center of the main body than the other of the first pair of second mounting slots,
wherein two of the second mounting slots define a second pair of second mounting slots aligned along the width direction,
wherein one of the second pair of second mounting slots is located nearer to the center of the main body than the other of the second pair of second mounting slots,
wherein ends of the first pair of second mounting slots are aligned with ends of the second pair of second mounting slots in the length direction,
wherein the first pair of second mounting slots is nearer the center of the main body than the second pair of second mounting slots,
wherein one of a first pair of first mounting slots is located nearer to the center of the main body than the other of the first pair of first mounting slots,
wherein two of the first mounting slots define a second pair of first mounting slots, wherein ends of the second pair of first mounting slots are aligned in the width direction, and
wherein the second pair of first mounting slots are nearer to the third pair of second mounting slots than to the second pair of second mounting slots.
