Claim 2

A holding and supporting anchor having a forward end and a rearward end and adapted to be mortared in a borehole of a construction element of concrete or masonry, comprising: (a) a supporting section at the forward end of said anchor and adapted to protrude from said borehole, said supporting section being constructed and arranged to support at least one facing plate or the like spaced outwardly from said construction element, (b) a longitudinal section rearwardly of said supporting section and having a forward and rearward end, said longitudinal section being in the form of a single tube adapted to extend at least partly into said borehole, said tube having an axis which lies in vertical and horizontal planes, and (c) a series of individual axially spaced deformities in said longitudinal section, said deformities being of limited peripheral dimension and being radially offset from wall areas of the longitudinal section immediately surrounding said deformities, with the longitudinal section maintaining its diameter except where said deformities occur, said deformities not extending through the outer surface of said longitudinal section which, together with the spacing of said deformities, does not weaken the resistance of said longitudinal section to torsional stress, and wherein (d) said supporting section consists of crimped parts of said tube pressed together to form a flat, load supporting surface, whereby, when the supporting anchor is mortared in the borehole, said deformities absorb torsional, tensile and compressional forces acting on said anchor and transmit the same to said construction element.

Claim 3

Claim 4

A holding and supporting anchor having a forward end and a rearward end and adapted to be mortared in a borehole of a construction element of concrete or masonry, comprising: (a) a supporting section at the forward end of said anchor and adapted to protrude from said borehole, said supporting section being constructed and arranged to support at least one facing plate or the like spaced outwardly from said contruction element, (b) a longitudinal section rearwardly of said supporting section and having a forward and rearward end, said longitudinal section having the configuration of a tube adapted to extend at least partly into said borehole, said tube having an axis which lies in vertical and horizontal planes, and (c) a conical transition section provided between said longitudinal section and said supporting section, (d) a series of individual axially spaced deformities in said longitudinal section, said deformities being of limited peripheral dimension and being radially offset from wall areas of the longitudinal section immediately surrounding said deformities, with the longitudinal section maintaining its diameter except where said deformities occur, said deformities not extending through the outer surface of said longitudinal section which, together with the spacing of said deformities, does not weaken the resistance of said longitudinal section to torsional stress, whereby, when the supporting anchor is mortared in the borehole, said deformities absorb torsional, tensile and compressional forces acting on said anchor and transmit the same to said construction element.

Claim 5

The holding and supporting anchor of claim 2, wherein said conical transition section is provided with reinforcing webs.

Claim 6

A holding and supporting anchor having a forward end and a rearward end and adapted to be mortared in a borehole of a construction element of concrete or masonry, comprising: (a) a supporting section at the forward end of said anchor and adapted to protrude from said borehole, said supporting section being constructed and arranged to support at least one facing plate or the like spaced outwardly from said construction element, (b) a longitudinal section rearwardly of said supporting section and having a forward and rearward end, said longitudinal section having the configuration of a tube adapted to extend at least partly into said borehole, said tube having an axis which lies in vertical and horizontal planes, said rearward end of said longitudinal section is defined by a continuous wall which is deformed to provide at least one crimp that substantially closes off the cross-section of the tubular anchor at said rearward end, and (c) a series of individual axially spaced deformities in said longitudinal section, said deformities being of limited peripheral dimension and being radially offset from wall areas of the longitudinal section immediately surrounding said deformities, with the longitudinal section maintaining its diameter except where said deformities occur, said deformities not extending through the outer surface of said longitudinal section which, together with the spacing of said deformities, does not weaken the resistance of said longitudinal section to torsional stress, whereby, when the supporting anchor is mortared in the borehole, said deformities absorb torsional, tensile and compressional forces acting on said anchor and transmit the same to said construction element.

Claim 7

A holding and supporting anchor having a forward end and a rearward end and adapted to be mortared in a borehole of a construction element of concrete or masonry, comprising: (a) a supporting section at the forward end of said anchor and adapted to protrude from said borehole, said supporting section being constructed and arranged to support at least one facing plate or the like spaced outwardly from said construction element, (b) a longitudinal section rearwardly of said supporting section and having a forward and rearward end, said longitudinal section having the configuration of a tube adapted to extend at least partly into said borehole, said tube having an axis which lies in vertical and horizontal planes, said rearward end of said longitudinal section is defined by a continuous wall which is deformed to provide at least one crimp that substantially closes off the cross-section of the tubular anchor at said rearward end, and (c) a series of individual axially spaced deformities in said longitudinal section, said deformities being of limited peripheral dimension and being radially offset from wall areas of the longitudinal section immediately surrounding said deformities, with the longitudinal section maintaining its diameter except where said deformities occur, said deformities not extending through the outer surface of said longitudinal section which, together with the spacing of said deformities, does not weaken the resistance of said longitudinal section to torsional stress, whereby, when the supporting anchor is mortared in the borehole, said deformities absorb torsional, tensile and compressional forces acting on said anchor and transmit the same to said construction element.
