In one aspect, an anchor may include a threaded body, and a coaxial nut,
wherein the anchor has a driving mode and an anchoring mode with the nut
drawn rearwardly into the body by a threaded fastener to open the body
radially outwardly. In another aspect, a one-piece self-drilling anchor
includes a generally cylindrical threaded body with a pair of
diametrically opposed inverted Y-shaped slits each having a generally
axial slit and an inverted V-shaped pair of slits, a nut having splines
for engage a threaded fastener, a pair of diametrically opposed inverted
V-shaped wedges that are demarcated from the body by the V-shaped slits
so that the body is relasably connected to the body, and a generally flat
V-shaped drill tip. In still another aspect, a self-drilling anchor
includes a threaded body that forks into a pair of diametrically opposed
legs, a coaxially nut having splines for engaging a threaded fastener and
a pair of diametrically opposed wedges, wherein when in the driving mode
the wedges are connected between the legs to form a generally cylindrical
portion, and wherein when in the anchoring mode the nut is drawn
rearwardly into the body by the threaded fastener to pivot the legs
radially outwardly.
