Abstract:
1. A process for coupling an anchor structure with a bore in a member formed of masonry material, comprising a. providing an anchor structure comprising an anchor component and an actuator device that are assembled to form the anchor structure; b. inserting the anchor structure in a first direction and into a bore in a member formed of masonry or masonry like material, and then pulling the actuator device in an opposite direction, so that at least portions of the deflectable fingers are deflected outward and into contact with the wall of the bore, and continued movement of the actuator device in the opposite direction results in deflection of portions of the fingers inwardly and behind the force applying portion, and causes the force applying portion of the actuator to break away from the remainder of the actuator device and remain in the portion of the anchor component that forms the deflectable fingers as the portions of the deflectable fingers deflect inwardly and behind the force applying portion, to couple the anchor structure with the bore.
