An anchoring apparatus is provided for securing a first beam to a structural member, including a first plate having a middle section, two end sections, and two ends, each end section being divided into adjacent strip portions by at least one cut extending to one end, a first strip portion at each end section being bent essentially perpendicular to the middle section, for receiving between the first strip portions the first beam, a second strip portion, and a structural member engaging portion extending essentially perpendicular to the middle section oppositely from the first strip portion, for engaging the structural member; a second plate having openings for receiving the second strip portions, and extending adjacent to the first beam, and a mechanism for fastening the second plate to the first plate. Where the structural member is a concrete member, the second strip portion is bent to form the engaging portion, for insertion into the cement of the concrete member before the cement cures, to anchor the first plate to the concrete member. Where the structural member is a second beam positioned essentially perpendicular to the first beam, and the middle section has outer edges two engaging portions are provided and include two essentially parallel, spaced apart plate sections, each plate section extending from one outer edge, for receiving between the plate sections the second beam, and a fastener extending through at least one of the plate sections for securing the first plate to the second beam. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention accomplishes the above-stated objectives, as well as others, as may be determined by a fair reading and interpretation of the entire specification.
An anchoring apparatus is provided for securing a first beam to a structural member, including a first plate having a middle section, two end sections, and two ends, each end section being divided into adjacent strip portions by at least one cut extending to one end, a first strip portion at each end section being bent essentially perpendicular to the middle section, for receiving between the first strip portions the first beam, a second strip portion, and a structural member engaging portion extending essentially perpendicular to the middle section oppositely from the first strip portion, for engaging the structural member; a second plate having openings for receiving the second strip portions, and extending adjacent to the first beam, and a mechanism for fastening the second plate to the first plate.
Where the structural member is a concrete member, the second strip portion is bent to form the engaging portion, for insertion into the cement of the concrete member before the cement cures, to anchor the first plate to the concrete member.
Where the structural member is a second beam positioned essentially perpendicular to the first beam, and the middle section has outer edges, two engaging portions are provided and include two essentially parallel, spaced apart plate sections, each plate section extending from one outer edge, for receiving between the plate sections the second beam, and a fastener extending through at least one of the plate sections for securing the first plate to the second beam.
The fastening mechanism preferably includes a port in the second plate, a nut attached to the first plate, and a bolt extending through the port and into the nut.
The fastening mechanism preferably also includes a barb on one first strip portion oriented to permit one opening in the second plate to slide onto but not off of the one first strip portion
