. 'Our invention lrelates to ybolt anchors."

Y portion undercompression so-that'the metal More particularly it relates to la'. .ductile shield! adapted to haveja portion of the shield plafced under tension, .and another of the shield will "iow into thelvo'ids and irregularities of the surface of the hole within which the shield. is'mounted.Vv

Our inventionffurther relates to a 'ductile Y shield provided 'with a vtapered and-aconnected cylindrical bore there being a stop'or Vshoulder between the two bores.

O ur invention furtherrelates to such 'a bolt anchor in which' the shield and cone, o'r expanding member, are 'formed of materials of different strength, the expanding cone beingof greaterrhardness and less ductility than the shield.

Our invention i' fnrther relates to certain combinations, 'details of constructions, and

articles of manufacture, which willfbemore. fully hereinafter described and pointed out.- Q Yin the claims. Y'

Ourinventlon may be applied to different 'forms of ductile shields. vWe have shown the 'drawings several vdii'erent forms ofisuch shields,althou-h it is to be particularly uni i derstood that t ese are shown by way of 'exi v ample and 'that our invention is lnot vto be limited thereto. inthe accompanying drawings the saline the shield and expanding member shownlin '95e refereneefnumerals' refer to similar parts-` in i 0f our bolt anchor located therein andtprior to being expanded,V Y

"Our invention also broadly .covers ,af 'duce l' tile shield havingf'a taperedbore anda cylindricalfb'ore, there being a 'stop or. shoulder or Y other member. stoppingtle enpandingniem- Y j bei' operating in the tapered bore, from cooperating withrtlie Vcylindrical bore eze cept under certain conditions. This insures that there will be'iirst a tension of' the metal andan expansion at the end of the ductile -shield in whichthe taperedbore islocated.

This is usually et the inner end removed from the face of the wall or other suitable After a portion of the ductileTV supportrl. shield has been expanded by the expanding member Cooperating with the tapered bore, the ductile shield is then further expanded by yplacing4 another portion of the` ductile shield under compression, which will/ cause the shield torbe shortened in length but ini creased: in diameter. This results-in two separate and distinct expansions of the duc;

tile metal both of which add tothe yhold or gri-.p of the bolt anchor or shieldrwithin the hole 2 of the wall or other suitable support 1'.-

It is well known that in drilling` a hole 2,

. in a wall or other suitable support 1,of manufactured stone or brick, cenientor natural stone, there is a certain dislodgnient of pebbles oilsand andhnrd particles. constl y ing the mass. ln oiir` invention we ins e that` the vinner Vend V5 Soft the shield 1l iwillfill up all these inequalities or voids .in the-surface of the hole 2 thatilie adjacent thexeiidV The expansion at ythe i-iliner end maybe made inenyjsuitable mzinneigsiich as by the threaded cone 5 cooperatingwith the screwthreads upon the bolt or screw 6.V 4llfiis/cone cooperates with a tapered bore 7 and with a screwY orbolt 6 which passes ,throughthe cylindrical bore 8, afterhaving beenglii'st tation,.fof-the'bolt or screw. G. pleces thatY portion ofthe metal of theshieldd between the stop or-shoulderv12 and the end 13,;Fig; 3,.- under compression, which servesf. to slightly shorten the length of the .shield t sind at the saine time increases .its diameter,

sot-hat throughout practically the cntirecir` cumference ofrtheshield, first by exerting tension and then compression, themetal 4will iowradially and i'ill up the voids and irregularities in the` wallsV of the hole. 2.. By

forcing-the metal of; the diictile l,shieldvtiov flow... into these inequalitiesor irregularities or voids ...we obtain particularly strong` union or 'hold Vwith the ywallorcther suitabe support, our bolt anchor making a much holt. `G, in

stronger union or hold than bolt anchorsv of the saine size now on the market. 1n Fig. 2, and' inv some ofthe other. figures, the

expansion or i'iowing of the metal of the X shield into the inequalities orV voids of the.

wall 2 has been purposely cicaigerated to more clearly illustrate the invention. i A

rl`he particular contour andshape of the ductile shield may vary. le have shown in the drawings several different forms of ductile shields. For example in Figs. Y1 to 5, the ductile shield.' 4l is provided with a plurality of integral members or tines 15, 16,`r

connected together byv integral webs 17, 17 of less thickness thanthe ti'n'es 15 andy 16 forming' grooves 18,18. 1.5: I

lWhen the hole 2 is. correctly drilled so that the ductile shield 4` will jnst iituthehole 2, the expansion shield Vmay he expanded `by simply stretching the webs 17, 17 ftoex'pand theintegral tines 15 and 16. ln other. cases,

when the hole 2 is a littlelarge, or the riiallsy orother supportsl are soft, and. fiillvfrir;

regularities or voids then, thel web 17 will be fractured orl broken when thetinesl andl-1 are .expanded as shown in Fig. 2.

between the points 26 ryand27, under com-' pression and expand itz radially Vinto the;

voids and inequalities ofthev surface of the -hole2V as shown in Figi" 11; l

. In,Figs."12,l13 and laws havev shown another moditicationof our invention, in which Y the Yductile shield 28 is Vformed; with two tapered bores 7, Y endingIi'n stops or l.shoulders 1'2, 12, the two tapered bores being connected by a single cylindrical bore-29. Within the inner taperedbore 7 we mount the'V same conical screw-threaded cone 5. Within the other tapered bore 7 we mount an unthreaded cone 30. In this form ofV our invention, the bolt or screw 6 is passed through the worlr 9, thence through the unthreaded cone 30, cylindrical bore 29V and into the screw-threads of thecone 5. .B y

rotating the head 10 of the bolt or nut 6,

the cone 5 is caused lto move down its tapered bore 7, which at the same time .causes the ductile shield 28 to move up the cone 30,v

.the work being held between `the 'cone 30 andthe head of the nut or screw 10. yThe effect is to cause the conel 30 to also move down or cooperate with Vits tapered bore 7 lWhen -the end l1 of the `cone 5 reaches its shoulder or stop 12, and When the end 31 of the unthreaded cone 30 reaches the shoul-v der Vor. stop 12 on the right of'Fig.- 12, further movement along the different tapered bores 7, 7 is arrested. Further rotation ot the nut or bolt 6 willthen cause the metal of the shield between' the stops Vor Yshoulders 12, 12 to be compressed,'which.will tend to shorten the length of the shield 2 8 and at the same timeincrease its diameter, permitting. Ythe ductile metal to fill up all the voids and inequalities within the surface ofthe 2 in the wall 1.

Infthis particular form yoif shield 28,`we have shown it provided with a groove 32 and a 'breakable web 33, the same as shown hole in Figs. 1 .andv 2.0i? the drawings, though' of course it is to fbe understood that the particular formof shield may be varied.

In Figure 15 we have shown a vertical section of Figure 2, in vwhich the end yof the.

stop

conical nut 5 is 'shown forced past' the 12' and into the cylindrical bore 8.

In all formsY of our invention illustrated, the ductile shields are so formed lthat the expanding member Vor conef5, or cones 5 and 30 of Fig. 12, can be securely held within the ductile shield by friction, by. simply giving them a slight tap or blow, which insures that the cones or expanding members and shields will not become. discon-A nected from vibrations in transportation 'or through rough handling, thereby obviating A the necessity of the lpurchaser or jobber going vover the shipment to see whether or not all the bolt anchors are properly assembled and held together and to reassemble such as have come separated `during transit.

While ywe preferably-.use my. invention witl'i such shields, it is of course to be .understood that other forms of shields maybe .usedland I.

those illustrated *and` described. f.
