Anchor setting tool

A tool for setting threaded anchors, said anchors including an anchor frustum having a longitudinal threaded bore and surrounded by a soft sleeve, said tool comprising:

• a body, separate and distinct from said frustum and said sleeve of said anchor, said body having a longitudinal bore;
• a threaded shaft received in said bore and projecting beyond both ends of said body to form a nut engaging end and an anchor engaging end, for removably engaging with said anchor frustum;
• means for preventing relative rotational motion between said threaded shaft and said body while allowing relative longitudinal motion;
• and
• a nut for engaging with said nut engaging end of said shaft,
• said tool being removable from said anchor and reusable after said anchor is set, leaving behind the set anchor.

A tool for setting threaded anchors comprising:

• a body having a polygonal cross-section and a longitudinal bore, and a pinway passing from outside said body to said bore;
• a threaded shaft received in said bore and retained therein by a retaining pin in engagement with said threaded shaft and projecting laterally through said pinway, said shaft projecting beyond both ends of said body to form a nut engaging end and an anchor engaging end;
• and
• a nut engaged with said nut engaging end of said shaft;
• whereby a threaded anchor engaged with said anchor engaging end of said shaft is set;
• said body having markings placed along said pinway for indicating quantities of accumulated relative movement of said pin along said pinway;
• said tool being removable from said anchor and reusable after said anchor is set, leaving behind the set anchor.
