  • Patent number: 6079921
    Abstract: The anchor bolt comprises a generally hollow body (1) with a drilling end (4), a supporting collar (5) at the other end and an external screw thread (6). The collar (5) forms two openings (10, 11), diametrically opposed, for receiving an anti-rotation pin (8, 9) removably fixed to the collar (5) and movable in the opening (10, 11). The pins (8, 9) are intended to anchor both in the collar (5) and in the receiving material, in order to prevent rotation of the bolt.

  • Patent number: 5339992
    Abstract: A cartridge has a multiple casing comprising an outer casing (1) with a front end piece (2) for receiving an application nozzle and an annular rear thrust wall (4) mounted slidingly in the outer casing (1), and at least one inner casing (5) with a front end piece (6) extending inside the end piece (2) of the outer casing (1) and a disc-shaped rear thrust wall. Shoulders and rib (8, 14, 16) for connecting the two outer (1) and inner (5) casings together ensures their mutual locking in axial and radial positions. A drive assembly is structured like the cartridge. The invention is well suited to the application of sealing resins.

  • Patent number: 5322401
    Abstract: The dowel comprises a body (1), with two elongate lateral arms (4), each having a groove, and a bore, opening out between the arms (4) for a fixing screw (22) to pass through, a rocker (2) sliding and pivoting on the arms (4) of the body (1) by means of two pivots (10) in their grooves, with a ramp which interacts with the end of the screw (22) in order to cause the rocker (2) to pivot, and an orifice for interacting, in the tilted position, with the fixing screw (22) and causing the rocker (2) to slide.Shearable pins (19) are provided for temporarily holding the rocker (2), detachable under the action of the screw (22), and which, when the dowel is inserted into a wall, drive the rocker (2) with the body (1). The body (1) and the rocker (2) are moulded simultaneously a single piece from injectable material.The dowel can be used for fixing a component to a gypsum board.

  • Patent number: 5246323
    Abstract: The pin comprises an expansion body (2) and, around the body, an expandable tubular sleeve (3) made from a flexible material, with a stop collar (12) and an end (10) forming a nut. With the pin extending through an orifice pierced in the wall with the sleeve collar (12) bearing against the front face of the wall, the nut (10) interacts with an end part of the body, is driven towards the collar (12) and brings about the expansion of the sleeve (3) and its squashing against the rear face of the wall. The body (2) is tubular, in order to receive a screw for fixing a piece upon the wall, and has, unlike the end part, a collar (7) for bearing against the one (12) on the sleeve (3). The sleeve (3) is plastically deformable and means (42) are provided for preventing the rotation of the body (2) with respect to the sleeve (3) in the opposite direction to the direction of expansion. The end of the body (2) is provided with a piercing bit (4).The pin of the invention can be applied well to bricks.

  • Patent number: 5059073
    Abstract: A peg for anchoring within a hole having an undercut portion comprises a body (1) with an external end (5) for mounting an element thereon and a tapered internal end (11) widening out towards the inside of the hole, a locking ring (2) formed from segments disposed about the body and intended to pivot within the undercut portion (10). The external diameter of the ring (2) is equal to that of the hole (8). Means (4,14,19) for temporarily immobilizing the segments of the ring are mounted upon the body. Means fixed upon the body may drive the ring (2) into the vicinity of the undercut portion of the hole and radially acting means (4) may cause the segments of the ring (2) to pivot into the undercut portion.

  • Patent number: 4969786
    Abstract: An expansion wall-plug is provided having two branches (5,6) of a wire (1) bent upon itself, an expansion stirrup-piece (2), between the branches (5,6), and an expandable socket (3). The rods (5,6) have engagement projections (11,12) against which a washer (4) is in abutment. The rear part of the socket (3) extends beyond the engagement projections (11,12). One of the branches (6) is extended beyond the other by means of a connecting portion (9) having a sealing end (10).

  • Patent number: 4904135
    Abstract: A cone expansion wall-plug is provided comprising a shank (1), a spacer (13) disposed about the shank, an expandable socket (4) and, at the end (5) of the shank (1), a cone (3) for expanding the socket (4). In order to be able to secure an object to be fixed against the edge of the anchorage hole formed within a supporting material for housing the wall-plug, the socket (4) includes a compressible zone (8) in the form of a bellows and bent lugs providing expansion and guiding teeth (10). The socket (4) is formed by die-stamping a metal sheet blank.
