ABSTRACT:
An anchor and stress plate assembly adapted to secure an insulation layer to the deck of a roof without penetrating the lower surface of the deck which is formed either of relatively soft or hard decking material. The anchor is provided with a flanged head and a shank whose leading section takes the form of an auger screw having a root which tapers toward the tip and a threading about the root whose crests are of approximately uniform diameter. When the anchor is turned into soft decking material, the tapered root of the auger screw then acts to pack this material into a dense mass in the region surrounding the screw to enhance the holding power of the anchor. In hard decking material, a hole must first be drilled therein to receive the auger screw whose root when the anchor is turned in fits within the hole and whose crests then cut a thread in the hole wall to securely retain the anchor. The stress plate which overlies the insulation layer to prevent uplift thereof has a central depression surrounding an opening defined by a circular series of ratchet teeth. When the anchor is fully turned into the decking material, its head then lies within the plate opening while the flange rests within the depression. The anchor head is provided with a pawl that is deflected by the ratchet teeth when the anchor is being turned in, the pawl engaging the teeth when the anchor seeks to turn out, thereby preventing loosening of the installed assembly.
