PCT No. PCT/GB85/00076 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 19, 1985 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 19, 1985 PCT Filed Feb. 28, 1985 PCT Pub. No. WO85/03984 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 12, 1985.A unitary thick walled spacer S supports an anchor rod (15) for engagement in an expansion body (6). The tubular spacer S has a first part P of greater diameter than its remaining part P', with the part P' in slide fit engagement in the expansion sleeve (1), and the part P abutting, at its free end, a washer (17) and the head of the anchor rod (15). An annular rim M formed between the parts P and P' of the spacer S, is arranged, prior to use, a distance X from the expansion sleeve (1). As clamping down is performed in a receiving socket, the spacer part P' slides inside the expansion sleeve so progressively closing the gap X. The arrangement is so designed that in any particular application, the rim M at most just barely comes into contact with the expansion sleeve (1) so avoiding uselessly and detrimentally loading the spacer S. |
