Patent ID: 8667746

Claim:
A lifting assembly for an insulated panel comprising a pair of precast concrete slabs, said slabs in parallel spaced disposition having an interposed layer of insulation, said lifting assembly comprising: a pair of planar plate-like lift wings, each planar plate-like lift wing characterized by a first lift wing portion and a second lift wing portion, each first lift wing portion penetrated by at least one lift wing-bounded through opening; and a planar plate-like lift head defining an orthogonally-disposed longitudinal plane of symmetry, and characterized by a first lift head portion and a second lift head portion symmetrically disposed on either side of said longitudinal plane of symmetry, said first and second lift head portions each penetrated by at least one lift head-bounded through opening, said bounded through openings symmetrically disposed relative to said longitudinal plane of symmetry; wherein said pair of first lift wing portions and said pair of second lift wing portions are orthogonal to said longitudinal plane of symmetry; wherein said planar plate-like lift head is concurrently attachable to said first planar plate-like lift wing and said second planar plate-like lift wing when said first lift wing portions are orthogonal to said longitudinal plane of symmetry; and wherein said planar plate-like head is detachable from said first planar plate-like lift wing and said second planar plate-like lift wing to eliminate thermal conductivity between said first planar plate-like lift wing and said second planar plate-like lift wing.
