  • Patent number: 5080531
    Abstract: A destructible multiple chamber cartridge for the in situ production of synthetic resin bodies from a reactive set for fastening anchoring elements in boreholes. The reactive set comprises between 18 and 25 parts by weight of a preaccelerated resin component composed of 3-60 parts by weight of a vinyl ester epoxy resin, 28-45 parts by weight of one or several ethylenically unsaturated monomer compounds, 63-3 parts by weight of an unsaturated polyester, and 10-0.1 parts by weight of epoxy resin. The reactive set further comprises 0.4-1.2 parts by weight of a hardener component comprising an organic peroxide, and 40-55 parts by weight of a filler component. The hardener component and the preaccelerated resin component are contained separate from each other in different chambers. When the fastening element is driven into the borehole, the cartridge is destroyed and the components are mixed and hardened, forming the synthetic resin body.

  • Patent number: 5077324
    Abstract: A reactive composition for preparing synthetic resin bodies used in destructible multible-chamber cartridges and a process for anchoring a fastening element to the fastening base by introducing the destruction multiple-chamber cartridges containing the components of a curable adhesive in a drilling in the fastening base.

  • Patent number: 5060447
    Abstract: A tie rod with a fastening section presenting several spreading cones is provided with a cage which divides the hardenable mortar composition used for the fastening in a cylindrical bore hole into segments. On the occurrence of a crack through the fastening ground of the bore hole, a respreading of the mortar shell formed by the hardenable mortar composition is made possible by a tensile force on the tie rod.

  • Patent number: 4575294
    Abstract: An anchoring bolt (1), which can produce a conical undercut by rotation in a cylindrical hole and serves simultaneously as a securing element has a connection portion (2), a shaft (4) and an insertion portion (5). The insertion portion (5) has an axially extending slot (6) forming two spreadable branches (8,9), into which slot a movable spreading wedge (18) can be driven in with its tapered end. The branches (8, 9) are each provided with drillings (14, 15) receiving hard metal pins (16, 17) of which the front edges, in the rotation direction, are more protuberant than the rear edges so as to form a clearance angle .alpha..

  • Patent number: 4518290
    Abstract: In order to produce conical undercutting of the bore when the anchoring bolt is driven into a previously bored hole with a percussion drill, the insertion end of the bolt has a slot into which the thin end of a wedge is inserted. Hard metal pegs set in radial bores near the insertion end of the bolt at diametrically opposite places on the periphery of the bolt protrude slightly and, as the bolt is driven into place, the wedge spreads its insertion end and causes the hard metal pegs to undercut the walls of the bore more and more as the bolt is set in place. A conical undercutting of the bar thus results.

  • Patent number: 4393638
    Abstract: An anchor rod for insertion in a fastening matrix such as a concrete structural element, by means of a hand-held percussion drill, has a smooth mid-section of slightly reduced diameter just below a slightly thickened intermediate collar that separates it from threading at the external end of the rod and has a profiled ridge and groove section at its insertion end which has a lefthand twist for insertion with a righthand rotation, as well as a frustoconical flat tip. The profiled section increases in diameter gradually towards the tip. At least the profiled section is manufactured by cold deformation with flat ridge tops having minutely burred or beaded edges.

  • Patent number: 4210057
    Abstract: An anchoring dowel has detent lugs which are yieldably connected to a body portion of the anchoring dowel at a merger region and project outwardly beyond the outer circumferential surface of the body portion in a relaxed condition while being at least partly received in a depression of the body portion when the anchoring dowel is inserted into an anchoring hole of a support structure. The lug has an outer face of a saddle-shaped configuration which merges with the outer circumferential surface of the body portion at the merger region, an elongated side face which commences at and merges into a generatrix of the outer circumferential surface at its end which is close to the leading end of the anchoring dowel and having a concave configuration, and an arcuate end face which extends from the merger region in a circumferential direction of the body portion and is curved in the same manner as the outer circumferential surface of the body portion.

  • Patent number: 4187757
    Abstract: An arrangement for mounting an object to a support structure having a rear side which is difficult of access, has an anchoring element including a base portion and a plurality of leg portions extending from the base portion, and a mounting element arranged for mounting the object to the support structure and urging the anchoring element to abut against the support structure at the rear side thereof. The leg portions of the anchoring element are substantially rigid in a longitudinal direction which corresponds to a loading direction of the arrangement, and are resiliently yieldable in a transverse direction so that when the anchoring element is inserted into a mounting hole of the support structure the leg portions are urged toward one another in the transverse direction, and when the anchoring element passes rearwardly beyond the rear side of the support structure the leg portions spread apart from one another in the transverse direction.
