Mushrooming expandable anchor

An expandable anchor comprising:

• a threaded component having, a shaft with threads, a hanger portion for securing objects hung therefrom, and a tool engaging portion for engaging a turning tool,
• a mushrooming component having a base for engaging a stabilizing tool, a longitudinal body with an internally threaded portion, the longitudinal body having slits for forming radial anchoring strips when the body is longitudinally compressed such that turning the threaded component relative to the mushrooming component while their respective threads are engaged, longitudinally compresses the slitted longitudinal body of the mushrooming component,
• the threaded component shaft has a hex head which broaches into a hex head receiving portion of the hanger portion for securing the threaded shaft from rotating with respect to the hanger portion.

An expandable anchor comprising,

• a mushrooming component having a longitudinal body with an internally threaded portion, the body having slits therein for forming radial anchoring strips when the body is longitudinally compressed, and a flange at one end, and;
• a threaded component having a longitudinal body with external threads for engaging the internal threads of the mushrooming component, and a head with a slot therein for turning the threaded component relative to the mushrooming component to longitudinally compresses the longitudinal portion of the mushrooming component, and;
• a hanger component attached to the threaded component for securing objects hung therefrom, the hanger component having a circumferential wall around the head of the threaded component with a central aperture for providing access to the head of the threaded component.

An expandable anchor comprising:

• a one-piece threaded component having, a shaft with threads, a hanger portion extending from said shaft and including an article attachment aperture for securing objects hung therefrom, and a tool engaging portion for engaging a turning tool,
• a mushrooming component having a base for engaging a stabilizing tool, a longitudinal body with an internally threaded portion, the longitudinal body having slits for forming radial anchoring strips when the body is longitudinally compressed such that turning the threaded component relative to the mushrooming component while their respective threads are engaged, longitudinally compresses the slitted longitudinal body of the mushrooming component.
