Claim:
A slab lift bracket, comprising: an annular collar portion having an open center, a longitudinal axis at the center, an upper surface radially outward from the center, a lower surface, an outer surface that faces away from the center of the collar portion, and an inner surface that faces toward the center of the collar portion; a plurality of elongated protruding members fixed to the collar portion, each protruding member extending from the collar portion away from the center of the collar portion in a radial plane relative to the collar and having at least a portion that extends below the lower surface of the collar portion to a free end, the protruding members being distributed around the collar portion and spaced angularly apart from each other; wherein the upper surface of the collar portion includes holes having axes parallel to and radially outward from the central axis of the collar portion, said holes being adapted to receive rod members that would extend vertically into the holes and be fixed to the collar portion so as to suspend the anchor from said rod members; wherein the protruding members extend outwardly perpendicularly from an upper portion of the outer surface of the collar portion where they are fixed to the collar portion and then downwardly at an angle from the collar so that in said outward and downward extension from the collar the protruding members together define a downwardly opening cone shape.
