Abstract:
An anchoring member for anchoring an object to a supporting surface having a bore for receiving the anchoring member therein, the anchoring member comprising:an elongate cylindrical body having a penetrating end and an exposed end opposite the penetrating end; the exposed end being configured differently than the penetrating end for distinguishing which end is to be embedded into the bore; the body having an outer surface which is at least partially threaded adjacent the exposed end; an adhesive compound coated about the penetrating end of the body for securing the body within the bore; a heat generating chamber extending longitudinally through the body from an opening adjacent the exposed end of the body to a terminal end adjacent the penetrating end of the body; and a heat generating compound located within the chamber whereby activation of the heat generating compound will generate ambient heat for assisting in setting and curing the adhesive compound for anchoring the body in the bore.
