Abstract
Abstract An expansible fastener for anchoring in a hole provided in a support structure. The fastener includes an expansible cylindrical anchor formed with an expansible slotted portion and having a central bore started in the cylindrical portion of the anchor and projecting through the slotted portion up to the leading end of the anchor, and an expander pin having a cylindrical shank and an expander cone. The bore is filled with a bonding agent. The expander pin resting against the base of the enlarged portion provided in the hole of the support structure if driven into the central bore of the expansible anchor so that the aforementioned shank is received in the bore and the expander pin is connected to the anchor by the bonding agent.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
221 words
An anchoring expansible fastener for use in supporting structures and adapted to be anchored by impact in a cylindrical hole with enlarged tapering undercut provided in a supporting structure, comprising an expandable anchor having a leading end and a trailing end and provided with a cylindrical portion and a slotted expandable portion at the leading end thereof, said expandable anchor being formed with a bore having a first portion extended in said cylindrical portion and a second portion projecting through said slotted expandable portion up to said leading end; and an expander pin including an expander cone and a shank connected to said expander cone and partially extended into said first portion of the bore, the length of said expander pin corresponding approximately to the length of said bore; at least one distructible capsule disposed in said first portion of the bore and facing said shank, said capsule accomodating a curable bonding agent, said anchor, upon the application of the impact thereto being driven into said hole, whereby said expander cone becomes inserted into said slotted expandable portion and said expander pin is driven into said bore of the anchor over the whole length thereof so that said shank destroys said capsule and releases said bonding agent, which upon curing adhesively secures said shank of the pin to the expandable anchor.
