Patent ID: 8393253

Claim:
A method for securing a cabinet to an upper floor and a sub-floor, the method comprising: securing an anchor bolt to the upper floor through an opening in the upper floor, wherein the anchor bolt comprises a cylindrical bolt head with a plurality of intrusions extending inwardly around a periphery, and adapted for torqueing the anchor bolt, and a cylindrical body extending distally from the bolt head, having an outer surface with an unthreaded portion and a partially threaded portion, the unthreaded portion providing a bearing surface for lateral loads placed on the bolt head, wherein the bolt head has a first threaded bore extending coaxially into the body, for receiving a threaded member securing the cabinet to the anchor bolt, and the body has a second threaded bore extending from a distal end of the body coaxially into the body for receiving a threaded member securing the anchor bolt to the sub-floor, wherein the first bore has a first diameter, the second bore has a second diameter, and the first diameter is less than the second diameter; providing a tool to apply a torque to the cylindrical bolt head of the anchor bolt, wherein the tool comprises a cylindrical body, the body having an open end portion and an inner surface, and a top portion opposite the open end portion; a socket racket recess in the top portion of the body for engaging with a socket wrench; and a plurality of extrusions, adapted to engage a head of bolt around a periphery thereof, the extrusions spaced apart on the inner surface of the body, and extending inwardly towards a central axis of the body, and further extending longitudinally out the open end portion and away from the top portion, the torque causing the second threaded bore of the anchor bolt to receive a threaded rod installed in the sub-floor to secure the anchor bolt to the sub-floor, wherein the upper floor is fixed above the sub-floor to create a space therebetween and the threaded rod is installed in the sub-floor and extends towards the upper floor; positioning the cabinet over the assembly; and securing the cabinet to the anchor bolt by threading a threaded member coupled to the cabinet into the first threaded bore of the anchor bolt.
