Tension tie member

A tie member comprising at least one axially elongated tension element, such as a steel wire, steel strand and the like, a tubular sheathing laterally enclosing said at least one tension element, an anchoring unit at each end of said tension element for transferring the tension force to a structure, said anchoring unit comprising an anchor member having at least one conically shaped borehole therethrough, a multi-part annular wedge engageable within said borehole for securing said tension element therein, wherein the improvement comprises a coating of a synthetic resin completely laterally enclosing said at least one tension element between the ends thereof including the portion of said tension element located within said wedges, each said annular wedge has a pair of end surfaces spaced apart in the axial direction of said tension element extending transversely of the axial direction of said tension element, a conically shaped outside surface, and an inside surface arranged to contact the surface of said tension element extending between said spaced end surfaces of said annular wedge, said inside surface of said wedge being shaped in the direction between said spaced ends for forming a series of teeth with the tips of said teeth being rounded off and arranged to penetrate through said coating into contact with said tension element.
