Injection mortar for anchoring a fastener containing a chemical composition that can cure in a curing process, and means for initiating the curing process characterized in that the chemical composition cures when irradiated with electromagnetic radiation, the means for initiating the curing process is formed by a radiation source for electromagnetic radiation, and the radiation source is placed within the anchoring zone.

A fastener-receiving insert system includes a fastener-receiving insert having a proximal end and a distal end and at least one adhesive-dispensing chamber adjacent to the distal end of the insert, containing at least one part of an adhesive material within a chamber wall. The fastener-receiving insert system further includes a puncturing device operably engaged with and configured to puncture the chamber wall to release the at least one part of the adhesive material around the fastener-receiving insert.

A connecting member includes a fastening portion configured to be fastened to an object by an adhesive. The connecting member includes at least one supply opening for supplying the adhesive and at least one discharge opening for discharging a part of the adhesive, wherein the at least one supply opening and the at least one discharge opening are arranged outside of a fastening portion or at least outside of a fastening area. A channel connecting the at least one supply opening and the at least one discharge opening is configured to direct the flow of adhesive. The channel includes an open channel portion that at least partly extends on a surface of the fastening portion and that comprises at least one redirecting portion configured to redirect the flow of adhesive between the at least one supply opening and the at least one discharge opening.

A fastening system for chemically fastening an anchor, the fastening system including a chemical anchor that is a ready-for-use two-component mortar system based on albuminous cement, and an anchor rod comprising an attachment region and an anchoring region. The anchor rod is insertable into a borehole and has a profiled section including a plurality of expansion sections disposed axially in a row which are conically shaped.

A pair of latch members 36R, 36L in a case 20C protrudes from an outer face of the case 20C by a spring 38 and when the case 20C is passed through a wall hole 22H, the latch members 36R, 36L are narrowed by an engagement between outer edge (guiding) slant face 36ROI, 36LOI and a wall hole 22H and after the case 20C has passed through the wall hole 22H, the latch members 36R, 36L are spread by a spring 38 so as to engage the engagement slant faces 36RLI, 36LLI with the wall hole 22H and also while fixing temporarily the case 22C to the wall 22 together with a flange 20FL of the case 22C. After that, a screw 32 is screwed to draw the nut 34 toward the flange 20FL and to engage securely the latch members 36R, 36L held to the nut 34 with the wall hole 22H to complete secure fixing of the case 20C.

An anchor rod assembly is used for being fastened into synthetic resin mortar and contains an anchor rod with a shall portion, a fastening portion, and a head having a cutting edge, and contains a sleeve-like additional element which surrounds the fastening portion at least in some regions.

A method for temporarily releasing a screw anchorage includes unscrewing and removing a primary screw having a thread that is tappingly engaged in a mating thread in an ungrouted hole in a mineral substrate from the ungrouted hole. Subsequently to the unscrewing and removing, a retrofitting screw is screwed into the hole to form an annular gap between the retrofitting screw and the mineral substrate. A hardenable grout is placed in the annular gap and the hardenable grout is hardened in the annular gap.

A metal collar attached in a through-hole of FRP member includes first and second collar members. The first collar member includes outer and inner circumferential surfaces. The outer circumferential surface is in contact with a hole inner circumferential surface of the through-hole. A slit is formed in a part in a circumferential direction of the first collar member. The second collar member applies a pressing force radially outward to at least a part of the inner circumferential surface of the first collar member or a pressing force to inner surfaces of the slit in a direction in which the inner surfaces separate from each other in the circumferential direction. The second collar member is held in the first collar member by reaction of the pressing force, deforms the first collar member for diameter expansion with the pressing force, and presses the outer circumferential surface against the hole inner circumferential surface.

An anchor for an anchoring with, for example, a synthetic resin mortar in an anchoring hole in an anchoring substrate made, for example, of stone, concrete or masonry. In order that a displacement of the anchor in the direction of a mouth of the hole and, as a result, potential failure of the anchoring can be ascertained at an early stage, a cap as position sensor holder having an electrical counter-contact, which cap is mounted on the anchor. If the anchor becomes displaced, the counter-contact moves out of contact with the anchor, with the result that the displacement can be ascertained.
