International Classification:

B23P 11/00

US Classification:

2952502, 2952501

Abstract:

An fastener for securing fixtures to buildings or other base materials. The fastener is assembled by a mechanical engagement between two pieces. The first piece includes a first and second bore. The first bore may be connected to a fixture, such as a pipe hanger, and the second bore is mechanically engaged with the second piece, which may include a self-tapping screw.

Appl. No.:

10/283340

Inventors:

Jeffrey R. Powers - Larchmont NY, US
Paul Gaudron - Stamford CT, US

Assignee:

Powers Fasteners, Inc. - Brewster NY

International Classification:

F16B 15/00

US Classification:

4114512, 411447

Abstract:

An anchor for masonry. The anchor is relatively smooth walled and is forcibly driven into a hole formed in masonry or other suitable material for purposes of attaching fixtures. When driven into the hole, a shaped portion of the anchor is deformed in such a manner as to facilitate a 360 degree or greater bearing surface with the holes of wall. The walls of the hole impose forces onto the shank along this bearing surface which tend to deform shank into alignment with the hole by primarily elastic deformation so that the resulting frictional forces between the shank and the wall resist dislodgment from the hole.
