Abstract: A device for the testing of anchorages in, protrusions from, or attachments to surfaces (collectively, "anchorage hardware") is connected to the anchorage hardware under test and rests against the surface. A slidable coupler is positioned within an enclosure under a mounting plate and to which the hardware to be tested is attached. A spring within part of the device is used to apply a calibrated loading force between the anchorage and the surface. A cam determines the spacing between the enclosure and a spring assembly housing, causing motion of the coupler and transfer of the force of the spring to the hardware under test. The device may include an indicator to measure the force applied.
