Abstract
An anchoring device for anchoring a threaded member in a substrate material includes a plastic anchoring sheath for receiving the screw. The plastic anchoring sheath includes annular anchoring ribs formed around a body portion of the anchoring sheath and at least three longitudinal ribs extending along at least a portion of the body portion of the anchoring sheath preferably parallel to a longitudinal axis of the anchoring sheath. The longitudinal ribs extend outwardly from the anchoring sheath and lie in different planes which intersect at the longitudinal axis of the anchoring sheath. The anchoring sheath preferably includes top and bottom regions which have no annular or longitudinal ribs. The plastic anchoring sheath may be coated with a resilient, elastomeric coating.
Claims16
An anchoring device for anchoring a threaded member in a substrate material, comprising:
- a plastic anchoring sheath having a first end, a second end, and a body portion disposed between said first and said second end, said plastic anchoring sheath adapted to be fixed in said substrate material and to receive a treaded member;
- a plurality of annular anchoring ribs formed around the body
- portion of said anchoring sheath;
- and
- at least three longitudinal ribs extending along at least a segment of said body portion of said plastic anchoring sheath, each of said at least three longitudinal ribs extending outwardly from said anchoring sheath and disposed in different planes which intersect at a longitudinal axis of said anchoring sheath.
An anchoring system for anchoring a threaded member in an substrate material, comprising:
- a plastic anchoring sheath fixed in a substrate material, said anchoring sheath including a first end, a second end, and a body portion disposed between said first and second end;
- a plurality of annular anchoring ribs formed around the body portion of said anchoring sheath, each of said plurality of annular anchoring ribs having a generally triangular cross-section;
- said anchoring sheath including a top region disposed between said first end of said anchoring sheath and a top annular rib of said plurality of annular ribs, said top region being devoid of an annular anchoring rib;
- said plastic anchoring sheath including a bottom region disposed between said second end of said anchoring sheath and a bottom annular rib of said plurality of said annular anchoring ribs, said bottom region being devoid of an annular anchoring rib;
- at least three longitudinal ribs extending along at least a segment of the body portion of said plastic anchoring sheath parallel to a longitudinal axis of said anchoring sheath and extending outwardly from said anchoring sheath, each of said at least three longitudinal ribs disposed in different planes which intersect at the longitudinal axis of said anchoring sheath;
- and
- a resilient coating formed directly on said plastic anchoring sheath covering at least a portion of an exterior surface of said anchoring sheath.
An anchoring device for anchoring a threaded member in a substrate material, comprising:
- a plastic anchoring sheath having a first end, a second end and a body portion disposed between said first and second ends, said plastic anchoring sheath adapted to be fixed in said substrate material and to receive a threaded member;
- a plurality of annular anchoring ribs formed around the body portion of said anchoring sheaths;
- a bottom region between said second end of said anchoring sheath and a bottom annular anchoring rib of said plurality of annular anchoring ribs, wherein said bottom region is devoid of annular anchoring ribs;
- and
- at least three longitudinal ribs extending along at least a segment of said body portion of said plastic anchoring sheath, each of said at least three longitudinal ribs extending outwardly from said anchoring sheath and disposed in different planes which intersect at a longitudinal axis of said anchoring sheath.
An anchoring system for anchoring a threaded member in an substrate material, comprising:
