ABSTRACT:
A bolt anchor construction for attaching metal plates to the roof of a mine tunnel. An expansion shell having a plurality of spaced metal fingers extending from a collar is telescopically mounted on a bolt. A camming plug is threadably mounted on one end of the bolt and is located within and engageable with the spaced fingers. A series of coined teeth is formed in the outer surface of each finger. The camming plug is mounted within the spaced finger ends by a generally U-shaped bail and is movably retained therein to compensate for various size holes. The ends of the bail are secured to the collar. The camming plug forces the fingers outwardly upon rotation of the bolt whereupon the teeth bite into the rock surrounding the drilled hole to attach the plates to the mine roof. Vertical movement of the fingers with respect to each other is prevented by closing the shell collar by the overlapping of tabs formed on the collar ends.
The fingers and collar are stamped from flat sheet metal in a progressive die. A pair of tabs is stamped in one collar end forming a notch therebetween, and a single tab is stamped in the opposite collar end during the stamping procedure. The fingers and collar are folded in the final steps of the progressive die to form a rectangular configuration with the single tab being inserted in the notch formed on the opposite collar end. The pair of tabs then is staked into overlapping relationship with the single tab to close the shell collar.
