A rapid-action connection element for a compressed air hose () includes a filter () located in the discharge casing () for sealing a flow cross-section, a flow-through pressure piston () extending, at least partially into the discharge casing () and displaceable, within limits between outward position remote from the filter () in which the pressure piston () is sealed with respect to the discharge casing (), and an inward position adjacent to the filter () in which the pressure piston () is open with respect to the discharge casing () for flow therebetween, and a flow-through rapid-action coupling member () connected with the pressure piston ().

An anchor rod has an axially extending anchoring region including an axially extending expansion section widening in the direction the rod is inserted into a borehole in a structural component. The anchor rod is held in the borehole by a hardenable mortar compound. The mortar compound is prevented from adhering to the anchoring region. Since the mortar compound does not bond to the anchor rod, if there is relative movement between the anchor rod and the hardened mortar compound, the expansion section develops compressive force deviating from the rod axis and acting on the mortar compound, while the compound maintains composite action with the structural component, particularly in a fractured tension zone of the structural component.

An expansion dowel assembly includes an axially extending anchor bolt and an expansion sleeve laterally enclosing the bolt. At its leading end, the anchor bolt has an expansion cone displaceable opposite to the insertion direction of the dowel assembly relative to a conically shaped expansion region at the leading end of the sleeve. Initially, the cone angle of the expansion cone is larger than the cone angle of the expansion section of the sleeve. A circumferentially extending annular bead is located on the outer circumferential periphery of the expansion region. The expansion region is slotted in the axial direction and its wall thickness decreases in the circumferential direction toward the slots. At the outset of the sleeve expansion, it is greatly widened and the annular bead is pressed into the surface of the borehole in which the dowel assembly is inserted. As a result, a positive locking engagement is provided between the expansion sleeve and the receiving material in which the borehole is formed, so that the dowel assembly can be utilized in a cracked-prone tensile zone of the receiving material.

An expansion dowel assembly includes an expansion sleeve, an expanding member and a bolt for pulling the expanding member into the expansion sleeve. The expansion sleeve has a leading end and a trailing end with a bore extending between its two ends. At the leading end, the bore is conically shaped and converges toward the trailing end. From the trailing end of the conically shaped section, the bore is cylindrically shaped and extends toward the trailing end to another smaller diameter cylindrically shaped section of the bore. At the transition between the two cylindrically shaped sections there is a stop shoulder which limits the pulling-in action of the expanding member and the radial widening of the expansion sleeve.

An anchor dowel assembly includes an axially elongated sleeve with window-like openings extending through its wall transversely of the axial direction. Locking members are positionable within the window-like openings for displacement radially outwardly from the sleeve for effecting the anchoring action. The locking members are displaced radially outwardly by an expansion tool driven between the locking members by a force directed in the axial direction of the sleeves.

An axially elongated expansion sleeve is formed from an extruded cylindrically shaped blank with a blind hole in one end. An axially extending part of the blank from the other end is deformed into a U-shaped section of uniform thickness. The U-shaped section is upset so that it increases in thickness toward the other end. The upset U-shaped section is shaped to provide it with a cylindrically shaped outside surface with the inside base of the section sloping toward the axis of the sleeve in the direction toward the other end.

Method of producing an expansion sleeve for a metallic expansion dowel

An expansion dowel assembly includes an axially extending dowel and an expansion member. In the expansion step the expansion member is axially displaced over a surface on the dowel providing form-locking engagement of the dowel assembly within a borehole. The surface on the dowel, over which the expansion member is displaced, is made up of two serially arranged axially extending surface sections. Each surface section is disposed at a different acute angle to the dowel axis.

Drilling device for forming a borehole with an undercut, includes a cutting edge support mounted in a bearing housing so that it can rotate about an axis of rotation and pivot about a pivot axle extending transversely of the axis of rotation. A drive member via a drive shaft rotates the bearing housing and the cutting edge support. Initially, the drilling device forms a cylindrical borehole until the bearing housing contacts the material in which the borehole is formed. Then, due to relative axial displacement between the drive shaft and the bearing housing, the cutting edge support is pivoted and the cutting edges at the end of the cutting edge support within the base of the borehole makes an undercut. A stop in the bearing housing engages the cutting edge supports and limits its pivotal movement. A spring within the bearing housing returns the cutting edge support to its starting position when it is no longer pivoted to form the undercut.
