Abstract:
A device for securing threaded rod can include a housing with a tapered inner surface, a biasing member, a backplate, and a set of plunger pieces, each of which includes an inner threaded surface and a sloped outer surface. The housing can be configured to be embedded in concrete, without the concrete covering a hole for a threaded rod to be inserted into the housing to engage the inner threaded surfaces of the plunger pieces.

Claim (Index 1):
A device for securing a threaded rod relative to concrete that is set using a setting structure, with the device being configured to be installed using a hammer, the device comprising:\n a housing with a hole that defines a tapered inner surface, the hole extending between a first opening in the housing and a second opening in the housing, the housing configured to be embedded in the concrete with the first opening exposed to slidably receive the threaded rod; at least two plunger pieces disposed within the hole, each of the plunger pieces including, respectively, an inner threaded surface and a sloped outer surface; a biasing member arranged to urge the sloped outer surfaces of the plunger pieces into engagement with the tapered inner surface of the housing; a backplate arranged to close the second opening in the housing, to retain the plunger pieces and the biasing member within the hole and to seal the second opening to the concrete; and a base that is secured to the housing and configured to be secured to the setting structure, prior to setting the concrete, via one or more impacts of the hammer on the housing; the base including a through hole configured to admit the threaded rod, after the concrete is set, for the threaded rod to be slidably received in the first opening of the housing.
