Abstract:
A device for anchoring one end of a stay to a base having a bore therein, said stay end comprising at least two strands that diverge from a longitudinal axis thereof to be anchored in the device, said strands each being made up of a core wire and a protective sheathing, said device intended to be positioned and immobilized in translation in the bore, said device comprising:a first rigid unit, and a second rigid unit, said second rigid unit being substantially cylindrical; wherein said first rigid unit is delimited transversally by a cylindrical face and longitudinally by two opposite faces that are substantially orthogonal to a longitudinal axis thereof; wherein said first rigid unit is traversed by perforations that, made substantially parallel to said longitudinal axis, each pass an end, devoid of sheathing, of one said strand, and which each include a bearing surface to co-operate with an immobilization piece on such an unsheathed strand end; wherein said first rigid unit further bears at least one tubular element to cover, over a certain distance measured from one of the opposite faces, the strands in a water-tight way at least in the part of the strands that are devoid of sheathing; and wherein the second rigid unit is rigidly connected to said first unit, and wherein the second rigid unit has at least two independent channels that, running substantially parallel and in each case in the prolongation of one said perforation of the first rigid unit, each have a first end thereof connected in a water-tight way to the first rigid unit and a second end thereof having a first locally water-tight pressing surface around the sheath of one said strand, when said strand is engaged in the channel, the second channel end having a second surface of lateral support for the sheath of the strand in view of the deviation of said strand from an axis of the channel, which receives the strand, toward the longitudinal axis of the stay end.
