Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An expansion anchor including a stud, at least one expansion element, and at least one slanted surface that is arranged on the stud and that pushes the expansion element radially outwards when the stud is moved in a pull-out direction relative to the expansion element is provided. It is provided that the coefficient of friction between the expansion element and the slanted surface is dependent on the direction.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 - 5 . (canceled) 6 . An expansion anchor comprising: a stud; at least one expansion element; and at least one slanted surface arranged on the stud, the slanted surface pushing the expansion element radially outwards when the stud is moved in a pull-out direction relative to the expansion element; a coefficient of friction between the expansion element and the slanted surface being dependent on a direction of movement. 7 . The expansion anchor as recited in claim 6 wherein the coefficient of friction is higher if the slanted surface is moved in the pull-out direction relative to the expansion element than if the slanted surface is moved counter to the pull-out direction relative to the expansion element. 8 . The expansion anchor as recited in claim 7 wherein the coefficient of friction is 1.3 to 1.7 times higher if the slanted surface is moved in the pull-out direction relative to the expansion element than if the slanted surface is moved counter to the pull-out direction relative to the expansion element. 9 . The expansion anchor as recited in claim 8 wherein the coefficient of friction is 1 . 5 times higher if the slanted surface is moved in the pull-out direction relative to the expansion element than if the slanted surface is moved counter to the pull-out direction relative to the expansion element. 10 . The expansion anchor as recited in claim 6 wherein if the slanted surface is moved counter to the pull-out direction relative to the expansion element, the coefficient of friction is lower than the tangent of an angle included by the slanted surface with a longitudinal axis of the stud. 11 . The expansion anchor as recited in claim 6 wherein the expansion element is an expansion sleeve surrounding the stud at least in certain areas, and in that an expansion cone is arranged on the stud, the slanted surface being formed by the expansion cone.
