Abstract:
An uplift-resisting assembly, connected to a top of a tubular member of a height adjustable structural column, acts to transfer load, particularly uplift loads imposed on the structure to which the column supports, therethrough and into the tubular member. The housing of the assembly is connected to the tubular member, which is connected to a base such as a footing. A threaded rod extends through the housing and into the tubular member. A top plate, connectable to a structure above is attached to the top of the threaded rod. An adjustment nut, threaded onto the threaded rod for adjusting the height of the column is sandwiched between the top of the housing and the top of the tubular member. The adjustment nut bears on the tubular member in compression and bears on the top of the housing during uplift, the uplift being transferred via the housing into the tubular member.

Claim (Index 15):
An uplift-resisting assembly for use with a hollow structural column having a closed top end having an opening therethrough for a threaded rod, a top plate connected to a top of the threaded rod for attachment to a structure thereabove; and a bottom plate for connection to a lower end of the tubular member, the bottom plate for connecting to a base structure, comprising:\n a housing, having a top with an opening formed therein for the threaded rod, at least one side wall extending therefrom for connection to the tubular member for spacing the top of the housing from the closed top, and at least one open side; and an adjustment nut threaded on the threaded rod and rotatably positioned between the top of the housing and the closed top for adjusting an effective height of the column, wherein the adjustment nut bears against the top of the housing in uplift and against the closed top of the tubular member in compression.
