Abstract
Abstract A tubular plastic foil bag is adapted for insertion into a hole provided in a support structure and has an inner side, an outer side, and spaced ends. Clamps or similar means closes the spaced ends and the bag contains a mixture of filler material and a hardenable resin. A closed frangible vial, of glass or the like, accommodates a hardener which will harden the resin when it becomes admixed therewith. The vial extends along the bag and is located either in the interior embedded in the mixture, or is secured to the exterior of the bag. When the cartridge is inserted into a support structure and subsequently the bag is ruptured and the vial is broken, the hardener and the mixture can admix and the resin will harden.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
A cartridge for fixing anchor elements in holes of a support structure, comprising a frangible vial means breakable into sharp shards upon use of said cartridge and defining when unbroken a first compartment; a closed tubular plastic foil bag surrounding said frangible vial and defining therewith a second compartment, and being formed of a plastic material shreddable upon forcible contact with the sharp shards resulting from breakage of said frangible vial means; hardenable resin accommodated in one of said compartments; and a hardener for hardening said resin upon admixture with the same and being accommodated in the other of said compartments, whereby, when said cartridge is positioned in a hole and an anchoring element is thereupon forcibly driven into such hole, the anchoring element will break said frangible vial into sharp shards which will shred said plastic foil bag as the anchoring element advances in such hole.
