Anchoring assembly, anchoring nut for use in an anchoring assembly and the use of an anchoring assembly for anchoring a liner of a cured lining material
View Patent ↗An anchoring assembly for anchoring a liner of a cured lining material arranged to be applied in liquid form to a metal object provided with the anchoring assembly, the anchoring assembly comprising an elongated mounting pin, which elongated mounting pin is arranged to be mounted, at a first end, to the metal object, and a plurality of spaced anchor fins, wherein the plurality of spaced anchors fins are connected to the elongated mounting pin at a second end and extend radially outwardly with respect to the elongated mounting pin.
1. An anchoring assembly for anchoring a liner of a cured lining material applied in liquid form to a metal object provided with the anchoring assembly, the anchoring assembly comprising:
an elongated mounting pin defining a vertical axis of the anchoring assembly, wherein a plurality of vertical planes extend radially outward from the vertical axis, whereby the elongated mounting pin is arranged to be mounted, at a first end, to the metal object, and
a plurality of spaced anchor fins connected by a collar adapted to engage the elongated mounting pin, wherein the anchor fins each have a vertical portion projecting therefrom,
wherein the plurality of spaced anchor fins are connected to the elongated mounting pin via the collar and the vertical portions of the fins extend radially outwardly from the vertical axis, coplanar with the vertical planes of the elongated mounting pin and extend above the collar, and
a plurality of outer peripheral portions of the spaced anchor fins, wherein the outer peripheral portions are disconnected relative to one another along a circumference of the anchoring assembly, wherein:
an overall height of the collar is less than an overall height of the outer peripheral portions of the spaced anchor fins.
2. The anchoring assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising a nut, wherein the plurality of spaced anchor fins are welded or soldered to the nut, and wherein the nut is, or is to be mounted on the elongated mounting pin at the second end.
3. The anchoring assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the nut and the second end of the elongated mounting pin comprise screw threads, and wherein the nut is, or is to be mounted on the elongated mounting pin via the screw threads.
4. The anchoring assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a side of at least one of the plurality of spaced anchor fins at which the at least one spaced anchor fin is connected to the elongated mounting pin, is tapered or notched.
5. The anchoring assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the anchoring assembly comprises 2 to 12 anchor fins.
6. The anchoring assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the anchoring assembly comprises 4 to 8 anchor fins.
7. The anchoring assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the anchoring assembly comprises 6 anchor fins.
8. The anchoring assembly according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of spaced anchor fins comprises at least one of a through hole and an element having a component extending in an angle from the anchor fin.
9. An anchoring assembly according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of anchor fins are identical in form.
10. An anchoring assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the spaced anchor fins are tangentially evenly distributed around the elongated mounting pin.
11. An anchoring assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a maximum dimension of a cross section of the anchoring assembly is between 30 mm and 50 mm.
12. An anchoring assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the elongated mounting pin is arranged to be welded or soldered, at the first end, to the metal object.
13. An anchoring assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the elongated mounting pin is made of stainless steel.
14. An anchoring nut for anchoring a liner of a cured lining material arranged to be applied in liquid form to a metal object provided with an elongated mounting pin defining a vertical axis and mounted with the anchoring nut,
wherein a plurality of vertical planes extend radially outward from the vertical axis, the anchoring nut comprises a plurality of spaced anchor fins connected by a collar adapted to engage the elongated mounting pin, wherein the anchor fins each have a vertical portion projecting therefrom, wherein the vertical portions of the fins extend radially outwardly from the vertical axis, coplanar with the vertical planes of the elongated mounting pin and extend above the collar, and
a plurality of outer peripheral portions of the spaced anchor fins, wherein the outer peripheral portions are disconnected relative to one another along a circumference of the anchoring assembly, wherein:
an overall height of the collar is less than an overall height of the outer peripheral portions of the spaced anchor fins.
15. An anchoring nut according to claim 14 , wherein the anchoring nut comprises a screw thread, and wherein the nut is arranged to be mounted on the elongated mounting pin via the screw thread.
