Mushrooming expandable anchor installation tool

摘要

The installation tool for a mushrooming expandable anchor has a hollow cylindrical sleeve with an inside diameter, the top having slots for engaging the base of the mushrooming component and a means for engaging and turning a threaded component, which compresses the mushrooming component. The means for turning the threaded component can be a socket, which rotates inside of the sleeve and engages a hex head at the base of the threaded component or alternatively the means for turning the threaded component can be a threaded rod for threading into the base of the threaded component until it reaches the end of the threads in the base. Another means of turning the threaded component is a screwdriver engaging a slot in the treaded component. All of the means for turning the treaded component may be by a powered drill with a connective adapter.
