A rock bolt anchor includes a top portion permanently fixed to a bottom
portion. The top portion carries a package of resin. A spring-loaded
mechanism pressurizes the package and forces the resin out when the
package is lanced. The bottom portion main body carries a pair of opposed
outer shells in a dovetail joint on opposed tapers. The annulus adjacent
to the rock bolt anchor is sealed by top and bottom bulkheads. The bottom
portion is threaded onto a rock bolt. A hollow and ported lance is
threaded onto the exposed end of the rock bolt. The combination is
inserted into a drilled hole and the rock bolt rotated. The lance rises
and pierces the package releasing into the sealed annulus. Continued
rotation of the rock bolt, forces the main body down and the outer shells
up the tapers compressing them against the wall of the drilled hole.
