ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to an anchoring bolt device for insertion into a material having a predrilled bore formed therein. The anchoring bolt device includes a sleeve-like body defining a longitudinal axis and having an upper portion, a mid portion and a lower portion having a bottom end face defining an opening. The body has a bore formed therein so as to extend along the axis and through the upper portion and the mid portion. A passage is formed in the lower portion of the sleeve-like body and extends from the bore and along the axis to terminate in the opening formed in the end face. The passage has a tapered inner wall surface so that the diameter of the passage becomes narrower toward the bottom end face. The lower portion of the sleeve-like body is partitioned into a plurality of legs extending in the direction of the axis. A ball is disposed in the bore so as to rest against the tapered inner wall surface and a thread is formed in the bore so as to extend along the upper portion. A fixing bolt threadably engaging this thread extends downwardly into the bore so as to be in contact engagement with the ball. The fixing bolt is rotatable so as to be displaceable along the axis between a first position wherein the ball is resting on the tapered inner wall surface and a second position wherein the bolt imparts a thrust force to the ball so as to cause the ball to press downwardly against the tapered inner wall surface thereby causing the legs to move outwardly in a direction radially of the axis and press tightly against the wall of the predrilled bore to anchor the sleeve-like body therein.
