Patent ID: 7174684

Claim:
A corrosion-resistant tension member comprising: a plurality of tension elements that are enclosed by a plastic sheath and are arranged inside a tube-shaped sheathing and have at ends thereof anchoring devices; an anchor plate that has a plurality of bores formed therein for enabling the passage of each of the tension elements there through; and at least one sealing plate being provided on a side of the anchor plate that is opposite an open air side, the sealing plate being formed so as to enable the tension elements to pass there through, and to which a surface pressure can be applied, and behind which a perforated disk functioning as a spacer is arranged, wherein the sealing plate is fixedly placed against longitudinal displacement on the side facing away from the anchor plate and opposite the tube-shaped sheathing, wherein a pressure plate having the tension elements running through it, butts against a side of the sealing plate that faces the anchor plate, wherein a pressure-transferring means is provided between the anchor plate and the pressure plate, and wherein the length of the pressure-transferring means is such that the longitudinal displacement of the anchor plate that occurs during tensioning of the tension elements activates an exertion of surface pressure to the sealing plate.
