Abstract:
A longitudinal channel with increased holding strength, configured for use as an anchoring element for an anchor used in supporting objects on a substrate and a method for the production thereof and an anchor. The channel has a generally U-shaped axial cross section in at least a portion thereof with, the U-shaped cross section being comprised of longitudinal side walls and a longitudinal base connection between the side walls. The side walls have free edges configured for holding contact with the substrate. A portion of the free edges of the channel are covered with a planar continuous surface material which is co-extensive with non-covered free edges whereby the planar continuous surface material and the free edges provide a planar holding surface with greater surface area than that of the free edges alone for the increased holding strength.

Claim (Index 8):
A method for producing the longitudinal channel of  claim 4 , comprising the steps of:\n v. stamping out a one piece metal blank of generally rectangular configuration having a longitudinal axis, two width ends and two length ends, the blank being formed with a centrally positioned aperture and a generally rectangular tongue section having edges along the longitudinal axis and extending centrally out of one width end of the blank in a direction along the longitudinal axis and equally spaced from the length ends, the length having two recesses formed in edges thereof; each recess having a width equal to a thickness of the metal blank and a length equal to each other and no greater than a distance from a width end to the aperture, and with a length of the tongue being equal to the spacing thereof to the longitudinal end plus the length of the recesses; vi. folding each side of the metal blank along a line longitudinal coextensive with the edges of the tongue section to a perpendicular position to form channel legs; vii. folding the tongue section into a perpendicular position closely adjacent the perpendicular legs; and viii. folding the perpendicularly extending tongue section at ends of the channel legs to perpendicularly fit into the two recesses;\n whereby a surface of the tongue section is coextensive and planar with remaining edges of the legs.
