Abstract
The invention relates to anchors for fixing an article (2) to a substrate (3). In order to improve such an anchor (4) in respect of its capacity to absorb transverse force in the event of earthquakes, the invention proposes that the anchor (4) have a conversion device (14) such that movement of an article (2) fixed with the anchor (4) relative to the substrate (3) and transverse to the longitudinal axis of the anchor (4) results predominantly in an increase in the axially acting pre-tensioning force of the anchor (4).
