Abstract

An embed for embedding in a base is provided. The embed comprises a box defining a top face and at least one side face, the top face configured to be placed flush with an upper surface of the base, and the at least one side face configured to be placed flush with an edge of the base. The embed may be part of an adjustable attachment system comprising an embed for positioning in a base and a bridging clip configured for insertion in the embed and adapted for coupling to a unit. A kit is also described.

Claims

1 . An embed for embedding in a base, the embed comprising a box defining a top face and at least one side face, the top face configured to be placed flush with an upper surface of the base, and the at least one side face configured to be placed flush with an edge of the base. 
     
     
         2 . The embed of  claim 1 , wherein the top face comprises a substantially open top face configured to provide access to the inside of the embed. 
     
     
         3 . The embed of  claim 2 , further comprising a lid configured to cover the open top face. 
     
     
         4 . The embed of  claim 1 , wherein the top face includes a recessed shelf and a perimeter lip and the lid is recessed into the top face. 
     
     
         5 . The embed of  claim 4 , wherein the lid is removably attached to the embed. 
     
     
         6 . The embed of  claim 4 , wherein the lid is pivotably attached to the embed. 
     
     
         7 . The embed of  claim 3 , wherein the side face comprises a substantially open side face. 
     
     
         8 . The embed of  claim 7 , wherein the open side face is configured to receive a bridging clip. 
     
     
         9 . The embed of  claim 8 , further comprising at least one anchor extending from the embed. 
     
     
         10 . The embed of  claim 9 , wherein the at least one anchor is a threaded rod anchor. 
     
     
         11 . The embed of  claim 10 , wherein the embed is adapted for threaded engagement with the at least one anchor, the at least one anchor adjustably extending into the internal volume of the embed. 
     
     
         12 . An adjustable attachment system comprising:
 an embed for positioning in a base; and   a bridging clip configured for insertion in the embed and adapted for coupling to a unit.   
     
     
         13 . The adjustable attachment system of  claim 12 , wherein the embed is in the shape of a box. 
     
     
         14 . The adjustable attachment system of  claim 13 , wherein the base has an upper surface and an outer surface and the embed is adapted to be positioned flush with the upper and outer surfaces. 
     
     
         15 . The adjustable attachment system of  claim 14 , further comprising at least one anchor extending from the embed. 
     
     
         16 . The adjustable attachment system of  claim 15 , wherein the embed includes a removably attachable lid. 
     
     
         17 . The adjustable attachment system of  claim 16 , wherein the at least one anchor extends in a direction away from the outer and upper surface of the base. 
     
     
         18 . The adjustable attachment system of  claim 17 , wherein the bridging clip includes slotted holes. 
     
     
         19 . The adjustable attachment system of  claim 18 , wherein the at least one anchor is a threaded rod anchor. 
     
     
         20 . The adjustable attachment system of  claim 19 , wherein the embed is adapted for threaded engagement with the at least one anchor, the at least one anchor adjustably extending into the internal volume of the embed. 
     
     
         21 . The adjustable attachment system of  claim 20 , wherein the bridging clip further comprises teeth on an upper surface. 
     
     
         22 . The adjustable attachment system of  claim 21 , further comprising at least one washer with teeth on a bottom surface adapted to engage the teeth of the bridging clip. 
     
     
         23 . The adjustable attachment system of  claim 22 , further comprising a peel strip. 
     
     
         24 . The adjustable attachment system of  claim 22 , further comprising a lid. 
     
     
         25 . The adjustable attachment system of  claim 24 , further comprising at least one fastener for removably attaching the lid to the embed. 
     
     
         26 . An adjustable attachment system kit comprising:
 an embed box with a removably attachable lid;   a bridging clip;   at least one nut; and   at least one washer.   
     
     
         27 . The kit of  claim 26 , wherein the embed box includes at least one threaded rod anchor extending into the internal volume of the embed. 
     
     
         28 . The kit of  claim 27 , wherein the embed is adapted for threaded engagement with the at least one threaded rod anchor.
