Abstract: An expansible anchor for anchoring in a drilled hole, having a shank. An expansion sleeve of the expansible anchor can be arranged to be expanded radially by drawing in an expander body. In order to hold the expansion sleeve in place axially during expansion in a drilled hole there is arranged on the shank a resilient ring which has an annular main body having a weakened position, so that to modify its diameter the resilient ring is deformable in the circumferential direction. At least one projection extending radially outwards from the main body is arranged on the resilient ring.

Abstract: A fixing element is provided for anchoring in a drilled hole. The fixing element extends along a longitudinal axis and has a shank on which an expansion sleeve is arranged. On the shank there is also arranged a holding element by which the expansion sleeve is connected by frictional engagement to the shank so as to be fixed against relative rotation.

Abstract: A fixing element having a fixing nut and a mounting sleeve for fixing an article to a mounting rail. The fixing nut is held in a nut receiver which is defined by two mutually oppositely located side members. On a first side member of the nut receiver there is arranged a resilient limb which resiliently urges the fixing nut in a direction towards the spacer element, and no resilient limb is arranged on the second side member.

Abstract: The invention relates to a damping apparatus having a through-hole for an anchor (2) and having a damping element (11). In order to provide an improved damping apparatus (1) which can damp a wide spectrum of dynamic loads but which undergoes only insignificant deformation under working load, it is proposed that the damping apparatus (1) have a dissipation element (6) which, until a maximum relative force between the anchor (2) and a fastened article (12) fastened by the anchor (2) is exceeded, is elastically deformable and, after the maximum relative force has been exceeded, is elastically-plastically or plastically deformable.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement (11) having a hollow panel (1), for example a honeycomb panel, and a joint fitting (6). For the purpose of stable fixing, the invention proposes that the joint fitting (6) be inserted through a hole in a covering panel (3) of the hollow panel (1) and into a counterbore on the inside of the other covering panel (4) of the hollow panel (1). As a result, the joint fitting (6) is provided with stable support against forces in a radial direction, that is to say against forces acting in the plane of the panel. There can be inserted into the joint fitting (6), for example, an eccentric clamp (19) known per se, by means of which, as a result of rotation, a tension anchor (14) can be tensioned.

Abstract: The invention relates to an expansible anchor (1) made of metal for affixing a component to a substrate. Known expansible anchors (1) have an anchor element (3) with fixing means (4) and an expansion zone (5) of reduced diameter which widens in the direction of insertion of the expansible anchor. An expansion sleeve (6) having expansion tongues (8) and at least one cutter (9) for creating an undercut is mounted on the expansion zone (5) so as to be axially displaceable. In order to reduce the manufacturing costs for such an expansible anchor (1), the invention proposes that the expansion sleeve (6) consists of hardened steel and the predetermined bending lines (10) are straight. The invention also proposes a setting tool (2) for setting such an expansible anchor (1), which has key-surfaces (16), a driving surface (17) and an adapter device (18).
