Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An expansion anchor with a bolt as a first element and with an expansion sleeve, which at least partially surrounds the bolt, as a second element, is disclosed. The bolt has an expansion region for widening the expansion sleeve. One of the two elements has a groove running in the longitudinal direction of the expansion anchor and the other element has a projection, which engages at least sectionally in the groove. The groove has a narrowing, which inhibits an axial movement of the expansion sleeve relative to the bolt.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An expansion anchor, comprising: a bolt; and an expansion sleeve, wherein the expansion sleeve at least partially surrounds the bolt and has a plurality of expansion slits which extend from a front face of the expansion sleeve: wherein the bolt has an expansion region for expanding the expansion sleeve; wherein one of the bolt and the expansion sleeve has a groove running in a longitudinal direction of the expansion anchor and wherein the other one of the bolt and the expansion sleeve has a projection which engages at least sectionally into the groove; and wherein the groove has a local narrowing which inhibits an axial movement of the expansion sleeve relative to the bolt. 2. The expansion anchor according to claim 1 , wherein the groove is wider outside of the narrowing, when viewed in a peripheral direction of the bolt and/or the expansion sleeve, than the projection. 3. The expansion anchor according to claim 1 , wherein the groove is disposed on the bolt and wherein the groove is disposed at least partially outside of the expansion region. 4. The expansion anchor according to claim 1 , wherein the projection is disposed on the bolt and wherein the projection is disposed at least partially outside of the expansion region. 5. The expansion anchor according to claim 1 , wherein the projection is disposed on the bolt and the groove is disposed on the expansion sleeve. 6. The expansion anchor according to claim 1 , wherein the projection is disposed on the expansion sleeve and the groove is disposed on the bolt and wherein a wall thickness of the expansion sleeve is locally increased by the projection. 7. The expansion anchor according to claim 1 , wherein the expansion anchor includes a plurality of grooves running in the longitudinal direction of the expansion anchor and a plurality of respectively corresponding projections, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of grooves each have a narrowing which inhibits an axial movement of the expansion sleeve relative to the bolt. 8. The expansion anchor according to claim 1 , wherein the narrowing is disposed on an end of the groove or is disposed in a middle region of the groove. 9. The expansion anchor according to claim 1 , wherein the projection is a cross-piece which extends in the longitudinal direction of the expansion anchor.
