Pivoted wall anchor device

Claim 1

In combination; a. a roof framing member; b. a concrete wall having one side intercepted by said framing member; c. an anchor plate terminating at one end in anchor means embedded in said concrete wall so that its other end extends a given distance from said one side of the wall at a location corresonding to the point the top of the roof framing member intercepts the wall; d. a flat securing bar of length six to eight times its width pivoted at one end to the extending end of the anchor plate so that the free end of the bar can swing in a horizontal plane, said bar having a series of nail holes each of diameter no greater than one-eighth the width of the bar, and in a given pattern spaced at least one-fourth said width on either side of the longitudinal center line of the bar, and longitudinally spaced apart a distance between one and one-fourth times the width of the bar, and additional nail holes on the longitudinal center line of the bar between the mid point of the bar and its free end, whereby, if the top of the roof framing member does not intercept the concrete wall at the precise horizontal position of the anchor plate, the securing bar may be pivoted slightly in an horizontal plane so that the member will underlie a major portion of the bar and so that suitable nail holes making up the given pattern may be selected for receiving nails to secure the bar to the top of the roof framing member; e. a ledger board; and f. a spacer block, said anchor plate including means in its extending end for enabling securement of the device to said leger board with said spacer block thereunder for proper vertical positioning of the anchor plate relative to the contemplated vertical location of the top of said roof framing member.
