Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
In a framed concrete slab structure comprising at least one elevated girder having an upper surface, at least one elevated joist intersecting said at least one girder along the upper surface of said at least one girder, and deck means disposed to rest on said joist and adapted to receive poured concrete thereon, the improvement comprising: shear connector mounting means mounted to said upper surface of said at least one girder and spaced away and separate from said joist, said shear connector mounting means projecting upwardly from said upper surface of said at least one girder, and a shear connector mounted to said shear connector mounting means and projecting upwardly therefrom, said shear connector having an upper portion thereof extending through an opening defined in said deck means so that said upper portion of said shear connector is adapted to be embedded in said poured concrete on said deck means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
150 words
In a framed concrete slab structure comprising at least one elevated girder having an upper surface, at least one elevated joist intersecting said at least one girder along the upper surface of said at least one girder, and deck means disposed to rest on said joist and adapted to receive poured concrete thereon, the improvement comprising: shear connector mounting means mounted to said upper surface of said at least one girder and spaced away and separate from said joist, said shear connector mounting means projecting upwardly from said upper surface of said at least one girder, and a shear connector mounted to said shear connector mounting means and projecting upwardly therefrom, said shear connector having an upper portion thereof extending through an opening defined in said deck means so that said upper portion of said shear connector is adapted to be embedded in said poured concrete on said deck means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
48 words
A framed concrete slab structure according to claim 1 wherein said shear connector mounting means is of T-shaped vertical cross-section having its stem welded to the upper surface of the at least one girder and the shear connectors being welded on the top of the T-shaped mounting means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
49 words
A framed concrete slab structure according to claim 1 wherein said shear connector mounting means is of inverted C-shaped vertical cross-section, having its lower edges welded to the upper surface of the at least one girder and the shear connectors being welded on top of the C-shaped mounting means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
52 words
A framed concrete slab structure according to claim 1 wherein said shear connector mounting means is of inverted L-shaped vertical cross-section, having its lower edges welded to the upper surface of the at least one girder and the shear connectors being welded on the upwardly directed vertex of the L-shaped mounting means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
A framed slab structure according to claim 1 wherein at least one shear connector mounting means is located in each space defined between a plurality of said joists.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
36 words
A framed concrete slab structure according to claim 1 wherein each of said shear connector mounting means has a length shorter than the distance between adjacent joists and is provided with a plurality of shear connectors.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
159 words
In a framed concrete slab structure comprising at least one girder having an upper surface, at least one elevated joist joist intersecting said at least one girder along the upper surface of said at least one girder, and deck means disposed to rest on said joist and adapted to receive poured concrete thereon, the improvement comprising: shear connector means mounted to said upper surface of said at least one girder and projecting upwardly therefrom, said shear connector means being spaced away and separate from said joist on said upper surface of said girder, said shear connector means having an upper portion thereof which extends through at least one opening provided in said deck means, said upper portion of said shear connector means being adapted to become embedded in said poured concrete on said deck means, said shear connector means having a lower portion thereof having a cross section which is larger than said opening defined in said deck means.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
159 words
In a framed concrete slab structure comprising at least one girder having an upper surface, at least one elevated joist joist intersecting said at least one girder along the upper surface of said at least one girder, and deck means disposed to rest on said joist and adapted to receive poured concrete thereon, the improvement comprising: shear connector means mounted to said upper surface of said at least one girder and projecting upwardly therefrom, said shear connector means being spaced away and separate from said joist on said upper surface of said girder, said shear connector means having an upper portion thereof which extends through at least one opening provided in said deck means, said upper portion of said shear connector means being adapted to become embedded in said poured concrete on said deck means, said shear connector means having a lower portion thereof having a cross section which is larger than said opening defined in said deck means.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
18 words
The structure of claim 1 wherein said deck means disposed to rest on said joist is substantially continuous.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
18 words
THe structure of claim 7 wherein said deck means disposed to rest on said joist is substantially continuous.
