Abstract:
A method and system of affixing a plaque to a solid surface is provided. The method includes the steps of providing at least one opening in a face of the solid surface and inserting a plaque support into the at least one opening. The plaque support includes a body defining a passageway therethrough and having a first end and a second end. The first end has a flange portion. Further, at least one outer tab member extends radially outward toward the first end and at least one inner tab member extends radially inward toward the second end. The outer tab member engages the solid surface upon insertion of the plaque support into the at least one opening. The method and system further include providing the plaque with at least one installation fastener. The at least one installation fastener is inserted into the passageway of the plaque support, such that the at least one inner tab member engages the at least one installation fastener.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to both a proceeding and means for, in connection with hole making in a wall (1), for the mounting of items on the moisture-proof walls (1) of a wet area by means of an expandable mounting element (2), providing sealing of the hole. According to the invention, in addition to an expansion (I) of the mounting element (2) behind said wall (1), there is also provided an internal expansion (II) of the mounting element (2) in the receiving hole (3) of the mounting element (2) in question in the wall (1). There is furthermore provided a liquid-proof cover (III) around the entire mounting element (2) in question introduced and expanding in said receiving hole (3).
Abstract:
Straddling dowel for anchoring in a bore having an undercut, comprising an expanding shell (10) having an axial bore (12, 14), which tapers gradually towards the front, for guiding a spreader (26) and having lamellae (28), which are formed by longitudinal slots in the front section of the expanding shell, have an undercut shoulder (20) at the front end and, on their outside, are tapered towards the front in the direction of the undercut shoulder. A guide tube (30) for a setting bolt (40) for driving forward the spreader (26) is used for connection to the rearward end of the expanding shell (10), the guide tube bearing an outer stop (36) and the setting bolt bearing an outer stop (42).
Abstract:
A straddling dowel includes at least a pair of shell members each having a first contact surface and a second contact surface. The first contact surfaces are disposed in contact with one another and extend in parallel with the axis of the dowel and the second contact surfaces are disposed in contact with one another and extend helically relative to the axis of the dowel. The first and second contact surfaces extend for substantially the entire axial length of the shell members.
