Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to cartridges containing a mortar composition capable of being hardened by reaction with an aqueous liquid such as water. The cartridge is initially sealed and is perforated along its longitudinal axis just before use, after which the mortar composition is caused to come into contact with an aqueous liquid to cause hardening thereof. According to one method of application, the cartridge is immersed in water which causes a wetting of the mortar composition centrifugally, i.e. from the axis towards the outside. The advantages of such a cartridge are that rigidity can be maintained during activation of the mortar with ease of use and, if required, visual evidence of complete wetting of the mortar.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
145 words
An anchoring cartridge for use in anchoring a bolt or rod in a bore hole in an underground substrate, said cartridge comprising a generally cylindrical frangible liquid-impermeable casing containing a particulate liquid-settable solid mortar composition, said casing being provided at the time of delivery of setting liquid to said composition with a longitudinally extending, liquid flow conductive cavity having at least one end thereof opening through at least one end of the cartridge so as to be in communication with the exterior, whereby when at least said one end of the cartridge is immersed in a liquid capable of reacting with the solid mortar composition so as to cause it to set, the liquid is caused to flow through said end of the cartridge into said cavity within the cartridge and thereby wet said solid mortar composition over substantially its whole length within the casing.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
145 words
An anchoring cartridge for use in anchoring a bolt or rod in a bore hole in an underground substrate, said cartridge comprising a generally cylindrical frangible liquid-impermeable casing containing a particulate liquid-settable solid mortar composition, said casing being provided at the time of delivery of setting liquid to said composition with a longitudinally extending, liquid flow conductive cavity having at least one end thereof opening through at least one end of the cartridge so as to be in communication with the exterior, whereby when at least said one end of the cartridge is immersed in a liquid capable of reacting with the solid mortar composition so as to cause it to set, the liquid is caused to flow through said end of the cartridge into said cavity within the cartridge and thereby wet said solid mortar composition over substantially its whole length within the casing.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
A cartridge as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cavity extends over the whole length of the cartridge so as to have both ends thereof located respectively at the ends of the cartridge and in communication with the exterior.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
A cartridge as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein the cavity is axially disposed within the cartridge.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
40 words
A cartridge as claimed in claim 3, wherein the cavity is filled with a longitudinally extending withdrawable rod which is adapted to be withdrawn from the cartridge when required for use so as to leave the cavity within the cartridge.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
112 words
An anchoring cartridge comprising: a hollow casing formed of a material having low wet strength and substantial dry strength; a body of dry cementitious, water-settable material in said casing, said material being maintained in the dry state by said casing prior to use; means defining a transfer passage having a preselected configuration for conducting water therethrough for effecting distribution of water outwardly from said transfer passage through said body of material toward said casing for substantially uniformly wetting said material to effect uniform setting thereof; and means defining an opening through said casing in communication with said passage for passing water into said transfer passage from exteriorly of said casing when desired.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
112 words
An anchoring cartridge comprising: a hollow casing formed of a material having low wet strength and substantial dry strength; a body of dry cementitious, water-settable material in said casing, said material being maintained in the dry state by said casing prior to use; means defining a transfer passage having a preselected configuration for conducting water therethrough for effecting distribution of water outwardly from said transfer passage through said body of material toward said casing for substantially uniformly wetting said material to effect uniform setting thereof; and means defining an opening through said casing in communication with said passage for passing water into said transfer passage from exteriorly of said casing when desired.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
15 words
The anchoring cartridge of claim 5 wherein said passage extends substantially fully through said material.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
15 words
The anchoring cartridge of claim 5 wherein said passage extends substantially axially through said material.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
13 words
The anchoring cartridge of claim 5 wherein said casing is formed of paper.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
22 words
The anchoring cartridge of claim 5 wherein a second such opening is provided through said casing spaced from said first named opening.
