Abstract
Abstract An anchoring system is provided for use in building walls. A drill hole is formed in a wall or floor with a radially enlarged portion. A fixing bolt bearing an anchoring sleeve and a threaded piece is inserted into the hole. The anchorage sleeve having radially outwardly extended projections flexes upon insertion into the hole to expand these projections into the enlarged portion and a control element is rotated to move a threaded piece interconnected with the anchoring sleeve into the lower end of the anchoring sleeve. The system provides a more reliable anchor than conventional adhesive bolts or expansion bolts.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
242 words
In an anchorage system for construction elements such as a wall adapted for insertion into a hole formed in said wall, the combination comprising an anchoring sleeve, an end piece and means for temporarily connecting said anchoring sleeve to said end piece when said anchoring sleeve and said end piece are inserted into said hole, said hole extending into said wall and being formed with a first portion projecting from the surface of the wall, an intermediate second portion further extending into the wall and a third portion forming the bottom of the hole, said second portion having a diameter relatively larger than the diameters of said first and third portions; said anchoring sleeve including a clamping portion terminated with radially outwardly extended projections, whereby when said anchoring sleeve and said end piece are inserted into said hole, said clamping portion is retracted to enable said projections to be placed into said second portion of said hole upon radial expansion of said projections and said end piece clamps said projections in said second portion when said temporarily connecting means are removed from said anchoring sleeve, said connecting means including an elongated stud having a head portion, a first threaded portion, a second threaded portion and a narrowing portion located between said first and second threaded portions and adapted to permit said clamping portion of said anchoring sleeve to be retracted as the same is inserted into said first portion of said hole.
