ABSTRACT:
An anchoring system comprising a pointed anchor body having either a wire apped therearound in one embodiment thereof or a coiled wire disposed within a hollow portion of the anchor body in a second embodiment thereof. One end of the wire is fixed to the pointed end of the anchor body and the other end projects through a pusher plate at the other end of the anchor body, behind which is an explosive or propellant charge for actuating the anchor. When the charge is ignited the anchor body is driven out of the charge housing, which is configured to retain the pusher plate, causing the wire to unwind as the anchor body embeds itself.
