Anchor for handling building elements, in particular a concrete panel

Abstract

A handling anchor, for lifting, raising, turning over, transporting, and laying building elements, such as precast blocks or panels, essentially made of concrete and to be connected to a building element. The anchor includes a connecting head for connecting the building element to a handling machine, and a body portion including active parts that, when the anchor is connected to the construction element, ensure the adhesion of the anchor to the material of the building element. The body includes at least one land including at least one face.

1 . A handling anchor comprising:
 a head for hooking a building component to a handling machine, and   a body portion including active portions which, when the anchor is integral with the building component, provides adhesion of the anchor to the building component, wherein the body of the anchor includes at least one flat including at least one facet.   
     
     
         2 . The anchor according to  claim 1 , wherein the flat includes a plurality of facets in a zigzagged sequence. 
     
     
         3 . The anchor according to  claim 1 , including two flats assembled to each other. 
     
     
         4 . The anchor according to  claim 3 , wherein the anchor includes a head for hooking to a handling machine, the head being a separate part on which the two flats are mounted. 
     
     
         5 . The anchor according to  claim 3 , wherein the flats have identical or different shapes. 
     
     
         6 . The anchor according to  claim 4 , wherein the head has a shape for gripping of the anchor. 
     
     
         7 . The anchor according to  claim 3 , including side wings, one wing protruding from each flat. 
     
     
         8 . The anchor according to  claim 7 , wherein the wings are part of a separate part added to the anchor with assembled flats. 
     
     
         9 . The anchor according to  claim 8 , wherein the separate part has a central portion with a cross-section in a shape for engagement with the assembled flats. 
     
     
         10 . The anchor according to  claim 1 , wherein the flat is axially cut from the head by forming two strips in sequences of zigzagged facets, the facets of both sequences being tilted in opposite directions. 
     
     
         11 . The anchor according to  claim 2 , wherein the facets have a tilt angle, relative to a longitudinal direction of the anchor, of from 10° to 85°. 
     
     
         12 . The anchor according to  claim 7 , wherein the wings are part of a separate part including a foot portion and added on a head-forming part. 
     
     
         13 . The anchor according to  claim 12 , wherein the separate part includes a central portion with a cross-section in the shape of a groove engaging the head portion. 
     
     
         14 . The anchor according to  claim 13 , wherein the central portion, the wings, and the foot are produced by folding.
