- THIS INVENTION relates to an anchor assembly. It also relates to an anchor bolt for use with an anchor assembly and to an elongate bar.
- the anchor assembly may be used as a rock anchor e.g. a roof bolt or the like.
- an anchor bolt assembly which includes an elongate anchor element including a threaded portion and a ribbed portion, the ribbed portion including an elongate cylindrical core on which a plurality of spaced ribs are provided, at least two adjacent ribs being of different height; and a bearing arrangement which includes a screw-threaded nut which is received on the threaded portion of the anchor element.
- the assembly includes a dome washer with a dogear.
- an anchor bolt including an elongate anchor element, which includes a threaded portion and a ribbed portion, the ribbed portion including an elongate cylindrical core on which a plurality of spaced ribs are provided, at least two adjacent ribs being of different height relative to the core.
- the ribs are curved in a serpentine fashion relative to a peripheral surface of the core thereby to enhance mixing of grout, resin, or the like when the ribbed portion is, for example, rotated into a bore such as that provided in rock in mining operations.
- the core is typically a circular cylindrical core.
- the ribbed portion may include two longitudinal raised portions which extend along the cylindrical core at circumferentially opposed positions.
- the raised portions define boundary regions between opposed longitudinal core sections, each core section including a plurality of spaced ribs and wherein ribs on opposed core sections are orientated in opposed directions. Accordingly, the ribbed portion may be rotated into a bore in either a clockwise or anticlockwise direction and still effect mixing or activation of a chemical adhesive such as resin, grout, or the like in the bore.
- the ribs on one core section may be orientated in a left hand external screw-thread fashion and the ribs on the other core section are orientated in a right hand screw-thread fashion.
- the raised portions define boundary regions between opposed longitudinal core sections, each core section including a plurality of spaced ribs and wherein ribs on opposed core sections are orientated in a substantially similar direction in a screw-thread fashion.
- Each pair of adjacent ribs may stand proud of the core at a different height.
- the longitudinal raised portions typically stand proud at a lower height above the core than the ribs.
- the anchor bolt may be produced from steel which has been extruded and thereafter rolled.
- the threaded portion may include a nibbed region proximate its free end.
- the ribs preferably alternate in height, adjacent ribs being about 1 mm and 0.6 mm in height and, accordingly, alternate ribs may be of equal height.
- the ribs have a rounded profile with a radius of curvature of about 0.5 mm.
- an elongate rod which includes a ribbed portion including an elongate circular cylindrical core on which a plurality of spaced ribs are provided, at least two adjacent ribs being of different height relative to the core.
- the ribbed portion typically includes two longitudinal raised portions which extend along the cylindrical core at circumferentially opposed positions, the raised portions defining boundary regions between opposed longitudinal core sections, each core section including a plurality of spaced ribs. Ribs on opposed core sections may be orientated in opposed directions.
- the ribs on one core section are orientated in a left hand external screw-thread fashion and the ribs on the other core section are orientated in a right hand screw-thread fashion.
- the ribs on opposed core sections are orientated in a substantially similar direction in a screw-thread fashion.
- Each pair of adjacent ribs may stand proud of the core at a different height.
- the longitudinal raised portions typically stand proud at a lower height above the core than the ribs.
- the elongate rod is typically extruded and thereafter rolled from steel.
- the threaded portion may include a nibbed region proximate its free end.
- the ribs alternate in height, adjacent ribs being about 1 mm and 0.6 mm in height.
- the ribs may have a rounded profile with a radius of curvature of about 0.5 mm.

- Figure 1 0 shows a cross-sectional view of the ribbed portion of the anchor bolt of Figure 7 taken at X-X; and
- Figure 1 1 shows a side view of the ribbed portion of the anchor bolt of Figure 7.
- reference numeral 1 0 generally indicates a rock anchor bolt assembly in accordance with the invention.
- the assembly 1 0 includes a bearing arrangement 1 2 and an anchor bolt
- the anchor bolt 14 includes an external screw-threaded portion 1 6 and a ribbed portion 1 8.
- the assembly 1 0 is typically used as a roof anchor in mining operations and is inserted in use into a bore 20 which has been drilled into rock 22 in a conventional fashion.
- the bearing arrangement 1 2 includes a conventional hexagonal internally screw-threaded nut 24, which has a complemental screw-thread to the threaded portion 1 6, and a dogeared dome washer 26. It is however to be appreciated, that the bearing arrangement 1 2 may include a variety of different washers e.g. a conventional domed washer without a dogear, a flat washer, a ribbed dogeared washer, or the like. Further, the threaded portion 1 6 includes a nib or slot 28 which is formed in a conventional fashion.
- the ribbed portion 1 8 includes a solid circular cylindrical core 30 which has opposed longitudinal ridges 32, 34 which extend along its length and which define an interface or boundary region between first and second core sections 36, 38.
- the first core section 36 has adjacent ribs 40.1 and 40.2 which are each of a different height above a peripheral surface 42 of the core 30.
- the second core section 38 has adjacent ribs 44.1 , 44.2 which are substantially similar to the ribs 40.1 , 40.2 respectively and also stand proud of a corresponding peripheral surface 46 of the second core section 38.
- the longitudinal ridges 32, 34 may stand proud marginally from the core 30 and typically stand proud about 0.5 mm above the peripheral surfaces 42, 46 of the first and second core sections 36, 38 respectively.
- the ribs 40.1 , 40.2, 44.1 , 44.2 are curved in cross- sectional outline as shown at 48 in Figures 3 and 4.
- the radius of curvature is typically 1 mm and the ridges are typically about 3.2 mm in width as shown by arrow 50.
- the ribs 40.1 , 44.1 and 40.2, 44.2 are of different height. In particular, the ribs 40.1 , 44.1 are about
- each rib 40.1 , 40.2, 44.1 , 44.2 is curved relative to the peripheral surfaces 42, 46 of the core 30 (see Figure 6) .
- the ribs 40.1 , 40.2, 44.1 , 44.2 define a serpentine shape wherein the radius of curvature at a mid-point 56 of each rib 40.1 , 40.2, 44.1 , 44.2 is greater than the radius of curvature towards end points 58 of the ribs 40.1 , 40.2, 44.1 , 44.2.
- the ribs are substantially straight.
- the ribs 40.1 , 40.2 provided on the first core section 36 and the ribs 44.1 , 44.2 provided on the second core section 38 are orientated in opposed directions.
- the ribs 40.1 , 40.2 are typically orientated in a right hand external screw-thread fashion and the ribs 44.1 , 44.2 are typically orientated in a left hand screw-thread fashion.
- the anchor bolt 14 may be rotated into the bore 20 in either a clockwise or anticlockwise direction and still effect mixing or activation of a chemical adhesive 60 as described in more detail below.
- reference numeral 70 generally indicates a ribbed portion of a further embodiment of an anchor bolt 72 in accordance with the invention.
- the rib portion 70 resembles rib portion 1 8 of the anchor bolt 1 4 and, accordingly, like reference numerals have been used to indicate the same or similar features unless otherwise indicated.
- the ribs 40.1 , 40.2 and the ribs 44.1 , 44.2 of the ribbed portion 70 are orientated in a similar fashion.
- the ribs 40.1 , 40.2 and 44.1 , 44.2 are orientated in a similar fashion as a right hand external screw-thread but, it is to be appreciated, that the ribs 40.1 , 40.2 and 44.1 , 44.2 may be orientated in a left hand external screw-thread fashion.
- the pitch of the ribbed portion 70 of the anchor bolt 72 is also 1 4 as shown by arrow 62.
- the ribs 40.1 , 40.2, 44.1 , 44.2 are generally orientated at an angle of about 65 degrees (see arrow 64) relative to the longitudinal ridges 32, 34.
- the curved nature of the ribs 40.1 , 40.2, 44.1 , 44.2 facilitates mixing of the chemical adhesive which typically secures the anchor bolt 1 4 in the bore 20.
- the chemical adhesive may be any conventional chemical adhesive such as resin or grout which requires an activation compound to initialize hardening.
- the chemical adhesive is typically provided in the form of a capsule and, accordingly, the anchor bolt 1 4 includes a V-shaped end 74 (see Figure 1 ) to break the capsule and thereby initiate setting.
- the curved ribs 40.1 , 40.2, 44.1 , 44.2 displace the chemical adhesive upon rotation of the anchor bolt 14 after the capsule has been broken and encourage mixing.
- the regions of the ribs 40.1 , 40.2, 44.1 , 44.2 proximate end points 58 have a steeper angle and facilitate or encourage mixing of the chemical adhesive whereas regions proximate the mid-points 56 facilitate an enhanced bond between the chemical adhesive and the anchor bolt 1 4, 72.
- a greater force is required to break the bond between the chemical adhesive and the anchor bolt 1 4 when the ribs lie at a flatter angle than when the ribs 40.1 , 40.2, 44.1 , 44.2 are at a greater angle.
- the anchor bolt 14 has ribs 40.1 , 40.2 and ribs 44.1 , 44.2 which are orientated in opposed directions, it is believed that it is an advantage of the anchor bolt 14 that it may be rotated either clockwise or anticlockwise into the bore 20. Accordingly, the anchor bolt 1 4 can be used with conventional apparatus for inserting conventional anchor bolts into bores in both a clockwise or anticlockwise direction. It is further believed, that the ribs 40.1 , 44.1 and the ribs 40.2, 44.2 which have different heights 52, 54 respectively and which alternate in height along the ribbed portion 1 8, 70 provide enhanced operating characteristics for the anchor bolts 1 4, 72.
- the alternating height of the adjacent ribs 40.1 , 40.2 and the ribs 44.1 , 44.2 result in a chemical bond in the bore 20 which is not just between immediately adjacent ribs as in the case of conventional anchor bolts, but the bond is spread between spaced corresponding ribs 40.2 and 44.2.
- the height difference between the immediately adjacent ribs 40.1 , 40.2 and 44.1 , 44.2 allows the bond to spread between the corresponding spaced ribs 40.2 and 44.2 thereby enhancing the bond.
