Patent number: 10030686Abstract: A self-drilling anchor including a screw and an anchor body configured to receive a shank of the screw, the anchor body including: a flange at an end oriented toward a head of the screw, a threaded portion, a deformable expansion portion between the flange and the threaded portion, and a rotation locking mechanism preventing rotation of the anchor body relative to the wall. The threaded portion is configured to engage with the screw thread and advance in a direction of the flange, by deforming the expansion portion, when the screw is screwed into the threaded portion. The anchor body further includes a piercing element at the opposite end from the flange, the anchor including a fastening mechanism between the screw and the anchor body, the fastening mechanism being detachable by a torque, applied between the screw and the anchor body, equal to or greater than a predetermined torque.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2013Date of Patent: July 24, 2018Assignee: SAINT-GOBAIN PLACOInventors: Guillaume Vivier, Hugues Obame Obame

Patent number: 9631661Abstract: An expansion anchor includes a screw and an anchor body configured to receive a shank of the screw, the anchor body including: a flange configured to be directed towards the screw head; a nut-forming portion configured to cooperate with the screw thread; and a deformable expansion portion between the flange and the nut-forming portion. The nut-forming portion is configured to advance in the direction of the flange, by deforming the expansion portion to a deployed state, by screwing the screw in the nut-forming portion. When the anchor is mounted inside a hole in a wall, with the flange bearing against a first face of the wall, the expansion portion in the deployed state forms a continuous contact surface facing a second face of the wall and has a load-bearing section, transversely with respect to the screw axis, which is generally decreasing from the contact surface towards the nut-forming portion.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2013Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: SAINT-GOBAIN PLACOInventors: Guillaume Vivier, Hugues Obame Obame

Patent number: 9604876Abstract: A glass sheet, the thickness of which is at most 2 mm, including a surface zone under compression and a central zone under tension, such that the depth at which the transition between compression and tension occurs is at least 100 micrometers, the ratio between the depth and the thickness being at least 0.1, the sheet additionally being such that the flexural stress at break in a “ring-on-tripod” test is at least 70 MPa, after Vickers indentation under a load of 60 N.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2011Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: SAINT-GOBAIN GLASS FRANCEInventors: René Gy, Julien Sellier, Hugues Obame
