Abstract:
A connecting system for connecting an anchor mesh sheet to a concrete wall panel comprising:a plurality of housing members each comprising an anchor member defining an anchor portion and first and second anchor loop portions, a housing portion, and first and second housing rings, where at least a portion of the anchor portion of each housing member is adapted to be embedded within the concrete wall panel, the housing portion defines a loop passageway and a pin passageway, the housing portion extends from the concrete wall panel, and the first and second housing rings and the anchor loop portions define first and second pin openings; a plurality of loop portions formed on the anchor mesh sheet, where each loop portion extends into an associated loop passageway; and a first pin member; wherein the first pin member extends through the pin passageways and each of the loop portions of the anchor mesh sheet such that a force applied to the anchor mesh sheet away from the housing members causes the first pin member to engage at least one of the housing members and at least one of the loop portions to inhibit movement between the anchor mesh sheet and the concrete wall panel.
