  • Patent number: 4595315
    Abstract: An anchor bolt assembly for mounting within a bore formed in a rock structure, to strengthen the rock structure, comprises a shaft having a leading section and a bottom threaded section. A nut which may be attached to a face plate washer is threaded onto the end of the bottom section and bonded by an adhesive material thereto. A cartridge or capsule of anchoring cement is inserted into the bore and pierced by the leading section of the shaft as it is advanced into the bore. The shaft and nut are rotated as a unit to mix and distribute the anchoring cement within the bore and along the length of the leading section. Once the anchoring cement sets to secure the shaft in position within the bore, additional torque is applied to rotate the nut and break its adhesive bond with the bottom section. The nut is then advanced along the bottom section until the face plate washer is tightened against the rock structure.

  • Patent number: 4484833
    Abstract: A stronger, lighter sucker rod formed from cold-drawn medium to high carbon steel composed of three basic components which provide versatility in forming the sucker rod. A sucker rod is disclosed which is formed of machined, cold-drawn steel elements. The construction of the sucker rod significantly increases the resistance of the rod to metal fatigue and yields a rod which is smaller in diameter and lighter in weight than an equivalent strength rod made from hot rolled or heat treated steel metal stock.
