ABSTRACT:
An anchor for use in association with a support structure, specifically metal tin pan decking, and an apparatus for installing the same. The anchor comprises a V-shaped member having diverging arms; and a gripping projection disposed proximate the end of each arms. The arms and projections are aligned in the same plane and the projections preferably extend inwardly and downwardly towards the apex of the V-shaped member. The apparatus comprises supports mounted on a shaft, the supports being adapted to hold an anchor therein. Levers, engagable with the supports at one end and a gearing mechanism at the other end, permit the user to release the anchor from the supports. The shaft is extended to reach the U-shaped tracks of the tin pan decking and the projections are disposed on either side of the desired track. The anchor is released from the supports so that the projections pierce the track. The apparatus is then removed and reloaded with the next anchor to be installed.
