Abstract
Abstract An adjustable mounting means is precast in the concrete structural member to be mounted. The adjustable mounting assembly consists of a first internally threaded hollow member anchored to the structural member. A second externally threaded member is mounted in the threads of the first member and the second member has a hollow interior space. A nut is magnetically mounted inside the interior space so that the nut may be moved in all directions both perpendicular to and along its axis in order to make proper alignment with a bolt mounted in a building frame.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
Means for fastening wall panels structural concrete beams, girders, machinery and equivalent members to a supporting structure comprising, a first internally threaded hollow member, said member being anchored to a member to be mounted on a supporting member with bolts, a second externally threaded member mounted in the threads of said first member and being axially adjustable therein, said member having a shaftway at each end thereof and a hollow interior space, therebetween, a nut mounted in said interior space, the outside dimension of said nut being less than the dimension of said interior space but greater than the dimensions of said shaftways whereby said nut is moved with said second member during adjustment thereof, and means to movably mount said nut in said interior space whereby said nut is adjustable in all directions in a plane perpendicular to its axis and along its axis to receive a mounted bolt.
