Abstract

An expansion anchor for anchoring in a drilled hole in a substrate, including a bolt with a front end and a rear end opposite the front end, an expansion sleeve arranged on the bolt, an expansion cone pressing the expansion sleeve radially outward when the expansion cone is displaced in an extraction direction relative to the expansion sleeve, a counter bearing for axially pressing an attachment part to the substrate, and arranged in the region of the rear end of the bolt, and a spring element arranged on the bolt for axially tensioning the counter bearing against the attachment part. The axial spring force F of the spring element lies in the range from F min <F max where F min =d max ×0.2 kN/mm−0.8 kN F max =d max ×0.6 kN/mm if the spring element is axially slackened 0.4 mm to 0.8 mm from its maximum spring deflection.

First claim

1 - 6 . (canceled)

7 . An expansion anchor for anchoring in a drilled hole in a substrate, the expansion anchor comprising:
a bolt having a front end and a rear end opposite the front end; an expansion sleeve situated on the bolt; an expansion cone situated in an area of the front end of the bolt and pushing the expansion sleeve radially outwardly when the expansion cone is offset in an extraction direction relative to the expansion sleeve; a counter bearing for axially pressing an attachment part against the substrate, the counter bearing being situated on the bolt in an area of the rear end of the bolt; and a spring element, situated on the bolt, for axially pretensioning the counter bearing against the attachment part, an axial spring force F of the spring element being in the range of
F min <F<F max , where
F min =d max ×0.2 kN/mm−0.8 kN and

F max ×0.6 kN/mm

when the spring element is axially slackened 0.4 mm to 0.8 mm from its maximum spring deflection, d max being a maximum diameter of the bolt between the expansion cone and the counter bearing.

8 . The expansion anchor as recited in claim 7 wherein the spring element is a single-layer disk spring.

9 . The expansion anchor as recited in claim 7 further comprising a washer encompassing the bolt and situated between the spring element and the counter bearing.

10 . The expansion anchor as recited in claim 7 wherein the bolt has a male thread in the area of the rear end, the counter bearing being a nut screwed onto the male thread.

11 . The expansion anchor as recited in claim 10 wherein a maximum diameter d max of the bolt between the expansion cone and the counter bearing is a thread outer diameter of the male thread of the bolt.

12 . The expansion anchor as recited in claim 7 wherein the expansion anchor is anchored in the drilled hole, the spring element pretensioning the counter bearing of the bolt against the attachment part.
