Abstract

A hole anchor has a plug. An anchor shaft and a cord respectively pass through a center and a periphery of the plug. A top end and a bottom end of the anchor shaft respectively have a head and an annular structure. A spring is disposed between the annular structure and the plug. Two side rods of an anchor head assembly are juxtaposed respectively on a left side and a right side of the head. Two sides of each of the side rods respectively have a closed end and an open end. The two closed ends are engaged with each other via a concave-convex structure. A top side of each of the two open ends is pivotally connected to a pin connected to the cord. A pivot unit pivotally penetrates a middle of the two side rods and the head.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A hole anchor, comprising:
a plug, wherein a center and a periphery of the plug respectively have a through hole and a cord hole;
an anchor shaft passing through the through hole and having an annular structure on a bottom end and a head on a top end of the anchor shaft, wherein the head has an axial hole penetrating along a left-right direction; a spring fits around a periphery of the anchor shaft, wherein a top end and a bottom end of the spring respectively abut against the plug and the annular structure;
an anchor head assembly comprising a first side rod, a second side rod, and a pivot unit, wherein the first side rod and the second side rod are juxtaposed to each other; the first side rod has a first closed end and a first open end opposite to the first closed end, wherein a first recess is recessed into an inner surface of a middle of the first side rod facing the second side rod; a first hole penetrates through the middle of the first side rod along the left-right direction; a top side of the first open end has a first pin base, wherein an inner surface of the first pin base facing the second side rod has a first pin groove; a portion of the first open end adjacent to a bottom side of the first pin base has a first recessed opening;
the second side rod has a second closed end and a second open end opposite to the second closed end, wherein a second recess is recessed into an inner surface of a middle of the second side rod facing the first side rod; the head is disposed between the first recess and the second recess; the second closed end is engaged with the first closed end via a concave-convex structure; a second hole penetrates through the middle of the second side rod along the left-right direction; a top side of the second open end has a second pin base; a gap is formed between the second pin base and the first pin base; an inner surface of the second pin base facing the first side rod has a second pin groove; a portion of the second open end adjacent to a bottom side of the second pin base has a second recessed opening; the pivot unit pivotally penetrates through the first hole, the axial hole, and the second hole for fixing; and
a guiding cord comprising a pin and a cord, wherein two ends of the pin respectively pass through the first pin groove and the second pin groove; a top end of the cord passes through the gap to be engaged with the pin, and a bottom end of the cord passes downward out of the cord hole of the plug.

2. The hole anchor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an outer surface of the first side rod away from the second side rod is a curved surface, and a middle of the outer surface of the first side rod has a first side recess; an inner side of the first side recess away from the second side rod is a flat surface; the first hole penetrates through the first side recess; an outer surface of the second side rod away from the first side rod is a curved surface, and a middle of the outer surface of the second side rod has a second side recess; an inner side of the second side recess away from the first side rod is a flat surface; the second hole penetrates through the second side recess.

3. The hole anchor as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the pivot unit is a rivet having two fixing heads respectively on two opposite ends of the rivet; the two fixing heads are respectively engaged with the first side rod and the second side rod.

4. The hole anchor as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the plug is a rubber cylinder, and at least two protruding rings are formed on an outer peripheral surface of the plug forms and arranged at intervals along a top-bottom direction perpendicular to the left-right direction; when the first side rod and the second side rod of the anchor head assembly are in a horizontal state, a length of the first side rod in a front-rear direction perpendicular to both the left-right direction and the top-bottom direction and a length of the second side rod in the front-rear direction are greater than or equal to an outer diameter of the plug.

5. The hole anchor as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the anchor shaft comprises an outer shaft and an inner steel cable; the outer shaft passes through the through hole; the head is formed on a top end of the outer shaft; a bottom end of the outer shaft opposite to the head has an insertion hole; a top end of the inner steel cable is inserted into the insertion hole, and the outer shaft is engaged with the inner steel cable; a bottom end of the inner steel cable away from the head is wound to form a closed ring shape and is fixed by a sleeving member to be the annular structure; the bottom end of the spring abuts against the sleeving member.

6. The hole anchor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a slot is recessed into a middle of an inner surface of the first closed end facing the second side rod, and a fitting block protrudes from a middle of an inner surface of the second closed end facing the first side rod; the fitting block fits in the slot for fixing.

7. The hole anchor as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the pivot unit is a rivet having two fixing heads respectively on two opposite ends of the rivet; the two fixing heads are respectively engaged with the first side rod and the second side rod.

8. The hole anchor as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the plug is a rubber cylinder, and at least two protruding rings are formed on an outer peripheral surface of the plug forms and arranged at intervals along a top-bottom direction perpendicular to the left-right direction; when the first side rod and the second side rod of the anchor head assembly are in a horizontal state, a length of the first side rod in a front-rear direction perpendicular to both the left-right direction and the top-bottom direction and a length of the second side rod in the front-rear direction are greater than or equal to an outer diameter of the plug.

9. The hole anchor as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the anchor shaft comprises an outer shaft and an inner steel cable; the outer shaft passes through the through hole; the head is formed on a top end of the outer shaft; a bottom end of the outer shaft opposite to the head has an insertion hole; a top end of the inner steel cable is inserted into the insertion hole, and the outer shaft is engaged with the inner steel cable; a bottom end of the inner steel cable away from the head is wound to form a closed ring shape and is fixed by a sleeving member to be the annular structure; the bottom end of the spring abuts against the sleeving member.

10. The hole anchor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pivot unit is a rivet having two fixing heads respectively on two opposite ends of the rivet; the two fixing heads are respectively engaged with the first side rod and the second side rod.
