Abstract
Abstract An anchoring device in the form of a connection (10) has an axial bore (12) formed by two semi-circular elements (14,16) having four sills (26) which form right angle projections. Bores (30) are formed in the sills (26) for receiving bolts (36) having transverse pins (34) in a pivotal relationship. The sills (26) have inclined surfaces (38) which in use form a seat for the nut of the bolt (36) and to orientate the bolt at an angle in the passage (30).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
91 words
An anchoring device including a body having a substantially cylindrical passage formed therein by at least two elements having fastening means for connecting the elements to each other and to a constructional element, the device including at least one member forming a support face at an angle to a surface of the body, the support face being adapted to be abutted by a side of the transverse element and the member having a passage for receiving a bolt element in pivotal relationship and an inclined surface for seating a nut element.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
91 words
An anchoring device including a body having a substantially cylindrical passage formed therein by at least two elements having fastening means for connecting the elements to each other and to a constructional element, the device including at least one member forming a support face at an angle to a surface of the body, the support face being adapted to be abutted by a side of the transverse element and the member having a passage for receiving a bolt element in pivotal relationship and an inclined surface for seating a nut element.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
An anchoring device according to claim 1 in which the end of the bolt element remote from the nut element is adapted to engage a bore formed in the transverse element which forms an element of a scaffolding system.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
An anchoring device according to claim 2 in which the support face is at substantially right angles to the face of the anchoring device and the inclined surface is formed on the surface opposed to the support face.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
45 words
An anchoring device according to claim 3 which comprises a body having two halves which are hingedly connected to each other and include means for receiving a bolt for fastening the body halves to each other and four support members for receiving the transverse element.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
96 words
An anchoring device including a body having a passage, a bolt element having a transverse pin fixed between the ends of the bolt element and pivotally located in the passage for pivoting on said pin, and the body presenting an inclined surface to a nut element which rides on a first screw threaded zone of the bolt element and a second zone of the bolt remote from the first zone being engageable with a formation on a member to hold the member captive against the body of the anchoring device when said bolt element is pivoted.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
96 words
An anchoring device including a body having a passage, a bolt element having a transverse pin fixed between the ends of the bolt element and pivotally located in the passage for pivoting on said pin, and the body presenting an inclined surface to a nut element which rides on a first screw threaded zone of the bolt element and a second zone of the bolt remote from the first zone being engageable with a formation on a member to hold the member captive against the body of the anchoring device when said bolt element is pivoted.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
34 words
An anchoring device according to claim 5 which includes two spaced apart tapering passages each having a bolt hinged in a recess which forms a seat for the transverse pin of the bolt element.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
27 words
An anchoring device according to claim 6 in which the body has a central passage and the inclined surfaces are located on opposite sides of the passage.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
24 words
An anchoring device according to claim 7 in which the apex of the inclined surfaces is located towards the central passage in the body.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
24 words
An anchoring device according to claim 5 in which the body has an elongate concave surface against which a constructional member may be anchored.
