Attorney, Agent or Firm: Stoll, Wilkie, Previto & Hoffman
A dual expansion anchor comprising a pair of inner and outer expansion fasteners connected to each other by means of a screw-threaded connecting tie, said expansion fasteners being adjustable on the connecting tie to adjust to the spaced positions of an inner supporting structure and an outer supported wall. Insertion limiting means is provided to limit insertion of the inner expansion fastener into the inner supporting structure in order to fix the position of said expansion fastener in said supporting structure. Torque applying means applied to the connecting tie expands the inner expansion fastener. Torque applying means applied to a nut on the connecting tie expands the outer expansion fastener. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
A dual expansion anchor comprising: a.
a screw-threaded connecting tie, b.
a first expansion fastener on said connecting tie at one end thereof, c.
a second expansion fastener on said connecting tie at the opposite end thereof, d.
each of said expansion fasteners comprising an expansion sleeve and a wedge nut in engagement therewith, e.
the wedge nut of the first expansion fastener being threaded to the connecting tie, f.
the wedge nut of the second expansion fastener being mounted on, but free from threaded engagement with, the connecting tie, g.
first stop means on said connecting tie engaging the expansion sleeve of the first expansion fastener, h.
said expansion sleeve of the first expansion fastener being expandable when the connecting tie is rotated relative to the wedge nut of said first expansion fastener to draw it against said expansion sleeve, i.
second stop means on said connecting tie engaging the expansion sleeve of the second expansion fastener, j.
an additional nut threaded to said connecting tie, k.
said additional nut abutting the wedge nut of the second expansion fastener, and l.
the expansion sleeve of the second expansion fastener being expandable when the additional nut is rotated relative to the connecting tie to drive said wedge nut of the second expansion fastener against said expansion sleeve.
2.
A dual expansion anchor in accordance with claim 1, wherein: a.
each stop means comprises a pair of nuts threaded to the connecting tie, and b.
the individual nuts of each pair of nuts being tightened against each other to lock them to the connecting tie.
3.
A dual expansion anchor in accordance with claim 1, wherein: a.
one end of the connecting tie extends beyond the additional nut, and b.
torque tool engaging means is provided on said end of the connecting tie, c.
whereby applying a torque force to said torque tool engaging means causes rotation of the connecting tie to expand the expansion sleeve of the first expansion fastener.
4.
A dual expansion anchor in accordance with claim 3, wherein the torque tool engaging means is an acorn nut threaded to said end of the connecting tie
