HIGH-STRENGTH PARTITION TOP ANCHOR AND ANCHORING SYSTEM UTILIZING THE SAME

摘要

A high-strength partition top anchor and anchoring system is disclosed. The high-strength partition top anchor is a dynamic anchor that provides resistance to wall and deck separation during periods of high lateral forces. The partition top anchor is set within a slip tube embedded within the upper most portion of a partition or masonry wall and interconnected with a channel affixed to an overlying slab or deck structure. Foam filler is emplaced within the slip tube and a compressible mat is positioned between the wall and the overlying slab or deck structure to further temper the results of high lateral forces on the building structure.

主权项

1. A high-strength anchoring system for protecting the top of a partition or masonry wall from damage inflicted by lateral forces thereupon and maintaining the relationship between an overlying deck or slab and the adjoining wall, the anchoring system comprising:
a slip tube embedded in the top of the partition having an open end disposed at the upper most portion of the wall, the slip tube having a predetermined diameter; and, an anchor partially disposed within the slip tube, the anchor further comprising:
a rod member substantially disposed within the slip tube, the rod member having a predetermined diameter; the rod member further comprising an insertion portion and an interconnecting portion set opposite the one to the other; and,a key member integrally formed with the rod member and having a common longitudinal axis therewith; whereby the lateral forces are exerted against the rod member which provides a high level of protection thereto.
