Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
162 words
A clip for securing anchor brick having slots near one end on opposite faces to a beam having a flanged section comprising at least one right arm and at least one left arm facing said right arm, means for joining the arms together comprising a cross member pivotally attached at one end to one arm and pivotally attached at the other end to the other arm, elongate bearing members secured to the arms and perpendicular thereto, the edges of the arms and the adjacent top edge of the joining means shaped to rotate into snug envelopment of the flange of the beam, such that the top of the joining means abuts the undersurface of the flanged section, the opposite side of the joining member and adjacent edges of the arms and elongate bearing members shaped to just permit sliding engagement with the end of the brick after the clip is rotated about the beam flange thereby locking the clip upon the flange.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
162 words
A clip for securing anchor brick having slots near one end on opposite faces to a beam having a flanged section comprising at least one right arm and at least one left arm facing said right arm, means for joining the arms together comprising a cross member pivotally attached at one end to one arm and pivotally attached at the other end to the other arm, elongate bearing members secured to the arms and perpendicular thereto, the edges of the arms and the adjacent top edge of the joining means shaped to rotate into snug envelopment of the flange of the beam, such that the top of the joining means abuts the undersurface of the flanged section, the opposite side of the joining member and adjacent edges of the arms and elongate bearing members shaped to just permit sliding engagement with the end of the brick after the clip is rotated about the beam flange thereby locking the clip upon the flange.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
139 words
A clip for securing an anchor brick having slots near one end on opposite faces to a beam having a flanged section comprising a plurality of right arms and a plurality of left arms facing said right arms, a plurality of means comprising a member pivotally attached at one end to a right arm and pivotally attached at the other end to a left arm for joining the arms together, the edges of the joining means and the adjacent edges of the arms shaped to be rotated into snug envelopment of the flange of the beam, the opposite side of the said joining means and the adjacent edges of the arms shaped to just permit sliding engagement with the end of the brick when it is rotated about the beam flange thereby locking the clip upon the beam flange.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
139 words
A clip for securing an anchor brick having slots near one end on opposite faces to a beam having a flanged section comprising a plurality of right arms and a plurality of left arms facing said right arms, a plurality of means comprising a member pivotally attached at one end to a right arm and pivotally attached at the other end to a left arm for joining the arms together, the edges of the joining means and the adjacent edges of the arms shaped to be rotated into snug envelopment of the flange of the beam, the opposite side of the said joining means and the adjacent edges of the arms shaped to just permit sliding engagement with the end of the brick when it is rotated about the beam flange thereby locking the clip upon the beam flange.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
42 words
A clip according to claim 2 having one elongate bearing member secured to the right arms perpendicular thereto and another elongate member secured to the left arms and perpendicular thereto, said bearing members arranged to engage the slots in the anchor brick.
