Abstract:
A multi-purpose anchor device for use in anchoring one or more tension cables and one or more window or curtain walls. In this respect, the anchor includes a channel, angle bracket, or plate for use in attaching to a window or curtain wall. One or more tension cables are also coupled to the anchor, which anchors the tension cables. The multi-purpose nature of the anchor allows for the reduction in materials cost, installation time, and conflict issues between placement of previously known anchors.

Claim (Index 6):
A method of constructing a post-tensioned concrete structure, comprising:\n disposing a first anchor device at a first edge of a concrete formwork for the concrete structure, the first anchor device includes a first base portion adapted to couple a first wall to the concrete structure, wherein the first base portion includes a first side and second and third sides extending from the first side in a first direction to cooperatively form a first \u2018C\u2019 shaped channel, wherein the first, second and third sides are adapted to be embedded in the first edge with an exterior of the first side facing in a direction towards the concrete structure, and the first anchor device includes a tension cable coupled to the first side and that extends into the concrete formwork; disposing a second anchor device at a second edge of the concrete formwork opposite the first edge and aligned with the first anchor device, the second anchor device includes a second base portion adapted to couple a second wall to the concrete structure, wherein the second base portion includes a first side and second and third sides extending from the first side of the second base portion in a second direction, and teeth respectively extending from edges of the second and third sides of the second base portion opposite the first side of the second base portion to cooperatively form a second \u2018C\u2019 shaped channel, wherein the first, second and third sides of the second base portion are adapted to be embedded in the second edge with an exterior of the first side of the second base portion facing in a direction towards the concrete structure, and the second anchor device includes an aperture in the first side of the second base portion that is adapted to receive the tension cable, and a cut-out in at least a portion of the teeth, the cut-out is opposite and aligned with the aperture, and the cut-out is adapted to allow access for a tension tool to tension the tension cable when the tension cable is inserted through the aperture; extending the tension cable across the concrete formwork and through the aperture of the second anchor device; pouring concrete into the concrete formwork, thereby embedding the first and second anchor devices in the respective first and second edges of the concrete structure; and tensioning the tension cable from the second edge after the concrete has hardened.
