Abstract
This invention discloses a holding and supporting anchor adapted to be mortared in a borehole of a construction element. The anchor has a supporting section at one end which is designed to engage and support a facing plate and a tubular longitudinal section which is rearward of the support section and which has a series of deformations. The tube is designed to extend within the borehole and provide a solid anchor for absorbing torsional, compressional and tensile forces.
Claims20
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 supporting section at the forward end of said anchor, said supporting section adapted to protrude from said borehole to support at least one facing plate or the like spaced outwardly from said construction element and adapted to be located in a vertical plane;
- said supporting section including at least one contact surface adapted to be oriented at a right angle to said vertical plane and at least one pin oriented at a right angle to said contact surface, said contact surface and said pin being adapted to engage and support said facing plate;
- a longitudinal section rearwardly of said supporting section having a second forward and a second rearward end, said longitudinal section being a tube and adapted to extend at least partly into said borehole, wherein said tube has a longitudinal axis which is adapted to lie in a horizontal plane, an outer diameter of said longitudinal section being smaller than a diameter of said borehole;
- the second rearward end of said longitudinal section being a tapered end and a substantially closed end;
- and
- a series of individual axially spaced deformities in said tube, said deformities being of limited peripheral dimension and being radially offset from wall areas of said tube immediately surrounding said deformities, said tube maintaining its diameter except where said deformities occur;
- said tube maintaining a continuous cross section even where said deformities occur which, together with the spacing of said deformities, does not weaken the resistance of said longitudinal tube 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, said supporting section and said tube forming a right unit against said forces.
