Abstract:
A footing anchor device enhances lateral stability, base support, and upheaval resistance for a footing. The device includes a base and a cradle. The base has a central section and a plurality of arms extending from the central section. Each of the arms has a bottom wall and a pair of opposed lateral walls extending upwardly from respective side edges of the bottom wall. The cradle is coupled to the base. The cradle is aligned with and extends upwardly from the central section.

Claim (Index 19):
A footing anchor device comprising:\n a base, said base having a central section and a plurality of arms extending from said central section, each of said arms having a bottom wall and a pair of opposed lateral walls extending upwardly from respective side edges of said bottom wall, said central section having a polygonal shape, each of said arms extending from an associated side of said polygonal shape, respective upper edges of each of said opposed lateral walls being coplanar defining a top of said base, each said arm having a distal edge of said bottom wall relative to said central section and distal edges of said opposed lateral walls of said arm relative to said central section being coplanar, said distal edges of said bottom wall and said opposed lateral walls of each of said arms defining an open end of said arm opposite said central section, each of said distal ends of said opposed lateral walls being perpendicular to said distal edge of said bottom wall, said base comprising\n a first elongated member having a U-shaped transverse cross-sectional shape extending a full length of said first elongated member, \n a second elongated member having a pair of outer portions, each of said outer portions having a U-shaped transverse cross-sectional shape, said first elongated member being positioned on said second elongated member in a perpendicular orientation relative to said first elongated member, said first elongated member having a width equal to spacing between said outer portions of said second elongated member, and \n wherein overlapping portions of said first elongated member and said second elongated member define said central section of said base; \n a hole extending through said central section of said base, said hole being centrally positioned in said central section; and a cradle coupled to said base, said cradle being aligned with and extending upwardly from said central section, said cradle having first section and a second section, each of said first section and said second section being coupled to said base, said first section being positioned opposite said second section defining a channel therebetween aligned with and extending up from said central section of said base, said first section being spaced from said second section defining a pair of gaps between said first section and said second section on opposite sides of said channel, each of said gaps being perpendicular to said central section of said base, said first section having a pair of first section apertures extending therethrough, said pair of first section apertures being positioned to define an upper first section aperture and a lower first section aperture, said second section having a pair of second section apertures extending therethrough, each of said first section apertures extending through a medial panel of said first section, each of said second section apertures extending through a medial panel of said second section, said medial panel of said second section being parallel to and spaced from said medial panel of said first section across said channel, said pair of second section apertures being positioned to define an upper second section aperture and a lower second section aperture, said upper first section aperture and said upper second section aperture being laterally spaced from each other across said channel, said lower first section aperture and said lower second section aperture being laterally spaced from each other across said channel, said upper first section aperture being vertically aligned across said channel with said lower second section aperture, said upper second section aperture being vertically aligned across said channel with said lower first section aperture.
