Abstract: The invention relates to a PVD coating method and to a PVD coating device with a chamber in which at least one target cathode, at least one anode and at least one substrate holder which is intended to hold at least one substrate are arranged, and with a control device which delivers a first voltage in order to supply the target cathode with a negative electrical potential relative to the anode in order to form a plasma in which the substrate is arranged, and which delivers a second voltage in order to supply the anode with a positive electrical potential relative to the chamber wall. In this sputter-coating device, the ion fraction of the target material which can be achieved is too low for qualitatively satisfactory coating properties. It is increased according to the invention in that the control device delivers a third voltage which supplies the substrate with an electrical potential that is more negative than the potential of the anode.

Abstract: A solid wall plug-type anchor comprised of a molded extrudible plastic material comprises a central hinge section and at least two extension members longitudinally extending from the hinge section. The hinge section permits the extension members to be hingedly moved into engaging nested juxtaposition with each other with nesting of integrally formed depressions and elevations in the engaging surfaces of the extension members. The nested structure comprises a solid, solid-wall elongated anchor with the hinge section at one end of the anchor and with the juxtaposed free ends of the extension members comprising another end of the anchor. The extension members each further comprises a plurality of small, non-contiguous wells which remain open within the nested extension members but which wells are not externally exposed. The wells provide stress relief for the anchor when a large screw or bolt is longitudinally inserted therein by providing a measured initial accommodation of extruded plastic during the screw insertion into a substantially solid interface between the extension members. The free ends of the extension members form a cavity for initial guided insertion of the screw or bolt.
