  • Publication number: 20050238457
    Abstract: An expansion wedge anchor for insertion in a hole delimited by a wall comprises an expander member and an expansion member. The expander member is provided at a leading end of the expansion member. The expander member includes a flaring end, the expansion member being expandable at a trailing end thereof and being adapted to engage the wall of the hole when the expander member is positioned in the hole. Upon longitudinal withdrawal of the expander member from the hole, the expander member displaces longitudinally relative to the expansion member with the flaring end thereof gradually causing the trailing end of the expansion member to expand, whereby a trailing edge of the expansion member engages the wall of the hole. The trailing end is adapted, when expanded by the flaring member, to extend at an angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of said expander member.

  • Patent number: 4118910
    Abstract: A tubular device which is anchorable to a plate member comprises a first part including a tubular sleeve having resilient legs formed on one end thereof and an annular flange separating the legs from the rest of the sleeve and a second part comprising a tubular actuating member received in the sleeve. The tubular actuating member has a tapered end adjacent the legs. The tubular device is adapted to be received in a bore through a plate member whereupon the actuating member may be urged into engagement with the legs whereby the actuating member spreads the legs, causing the plate member to be gripped between the legs and the annular flange. The actuating member may be left in engagement with the legs, thereby to hold the legs in the spread configuration.
