Abstract
An article for assisting in the mixing of components of a resin grouting material within a drill hole in a rock formation to form a hardenable mass anchoring the threaded, distal end of an elongated bolt in the hole. The article includes an annular base portion having a central, through opening for threaded engagement with the bolt, and at least one leg extending from the base portion in a direction substantially parallel to the axis of the opening. The article is rotated together with the bolt, the leg having leading and trailing edges with respect to the direction of rotation. The leading edge is a flat surface substantially parallel to the axis of the bolt and the trailing edge is a relatively sharp, linear edge, non-parallel to the bolt axis. The article may be employed in chemical anchors with a single leg extending from the base portion toward the distal end of the bolt, or with a pair of legs extending in opposite directions from the base portion. In another embodiment, the article is employed in a combination chemical-mechanical anchor with the leg extending away from the distal end of the bolt, upon which the mechanical anchor is mounted with the lower end of the shell contacting and supported by the base portion of the article. Downward force exerted by the shell during expansion strips the threaded engagement of the article with the bolt.
