Abstract:
An expansion anchor having an anchor bolt, an expansion sleeve surrounding the anchor bolt, and an expansion body located in a front region of the anchor bolt, wherein the expansion body has a converging zone for expanding the expansion sleeve, and wherein the expansion body is provided with at least one expansion body recess. The at least one expansion body recess is delimited by an expansion sleeve abutment wall, and the at least one expansion body recess has a nonaxisymmetric cross-section.
Abstract:
A doubling-up fitting includes an expansion sleeve which has a sleeve base with a sleeve base opening and has at least one expansion tab which can be spread radially outward. An inner ring is axially displaceable in the expansion sleeve towards the sleeve base in a tightening direction in order to spread the at least one expansion tab radially outward. A threaded bolt with a screw thread and with a bolt head engages behind the inner ring in the tightening direction. A threaded part has a widened head and can be screwed to the screw thread of the threaded bolt. The opening diameter of the sleeve base opening and the clear opening diameter of the inner ring are each greater than the bolt diameter of the threaded bolt.
Abstract:
A fastener attached to an attachment hole of an attachment member, wherein a grommet has a head section having an opening, and a plurality of leg pieces having an outer surface capable of engaging with an edge of the attachment hole of the attachment member by expansion of the leg pieces. A pin member is pressed in from the opening to splay the plurality of leg pieces. The leg pieces each have: a flexure section that extends downward from the head section and is flexible for spreading out; and an inclined surface that is formed radially inwardly away from an inner surface of the flexure section, inclined downwardly toward the center axis, and subjected to a pressing force from the pin member when the pin member is pressed in.
Abstract:
A blind rivet design has an exposed mandrel portion modified from the conventional and standardized mandrel to reduce amount and cost of materials required to produce the mandrel, while also minimizing costs related to production, use, and spent mandrel disposal, all while still making use of conventional riveting tools for rivet setting and maintaining rivet performance. The blind rivet also facilitates feeding of a shortened spent mandrel through conventional riveting tools and into mandrel collection devices.
Abstract:
A shaped part having a hollow cylindrical body (1) having at least two longitudinal slots (5) extending over a larger portion of a longitudinal extent of the hollow cylindrical body (1) and open at one of end surfaces of the hollow cylindrical body (1), and a circumferential undercut formed in an inner wall (3) of the hollow cylindrical body (1) in its longitudinal region intersected by the longitudinal slots (5), spaced from the one end surface, and having a flank (9) tapering toward the one end.
Abstract:
A fixing member comprising a tie bar (4) having an expandable buffer (5) mounted thereon, the buffer being surrounded by a split ring (14) which is shorter than the length of said buffer (5), said expandable buffer bearing against an endpiece (6) linked to one end of the tie bar, and a nut (11) being screwed onto the opposite end of the tie bar to compress the expandable buffer (5) axially, thereby causing both the buffer and the split ring (14) to expand radially, the fixing member being characterized in that the inside surface of the split ring (14) has a helical groove (17).
Abstract:
An anchor for securing a mine roof bolt within a hole preformed within a rock strata. The anchor comprises a plurality of transversely bent plastic leaves, each having an aperture through which the roof bolt is received, a support nut threadably connected to the bolt for supporting the plastic leaves, a stirrup supported on the support nut and on which the leaves are rested and a bifurcated compression nut having a biasing member threadably connected to the roof bolt and a horizontal member slidably connected to the bolt below the biasing member and above the leaves for compressing the leaves against the stirrup responsive to the rotation of the roof bolt in a selected direction. As the transversely bent leaves are compressed the edges thereof are urged against the strata to grip the same and thereby secure the roof bolt within the hole. The stirrup and the horizontal member are shaped to maintain the leaves at a selected inclination during compression. The horizontal member has two flanges on either end thereof that contact an upper plastic leaf adjacent the edges thereof to maintain the upper leaf and the supporing plastic leaves therebelow in the selected inclination.
Abstract:
An injection adaptor for injecting a free-flowing compound into a hole drilled in masonry and into cavities of a fixing element anchored in the drilled hole, and comprising an inner pressure chamber in which a portion of a threaded bolt that forms a part of the fixing element, is received, a nipple for injecting the compound into the inner pressure chamber, and seal elements for sealing the inner pressure chamber with respect to a sleeve that constitutes another part of the fixing element.
Abstract:
A fastener is provided. The fastener includes a housing with a housing opening and a collet body at least partially enclosed within the housing, the collet body includes a crown having a crown opening with a threaded section and a leg that extends from the crown and including a foot. The fastener further includes a screw with a head positioned in the housing opening, an upper threaded section, and a lower unthreaded section, where the housing opening and the crown include a set of splined protrusions and a set of splined recesses mated with one another, where the sets of splined protrusions and recesses include ramps and are designed to permit the collet body and the screw to transition into a free-spin configuration, and where a spring is designed to exert a return force on the collet body or the screw when the fastener is in the free-spin configuration.
