Abstract
A downhole anchor mechanism for use in downhole tools. The downhole anchor mechanism generally consists of a plurality of sliders that pivot outwardly from a downhole tool body to engage distal ends thereof against a well casing. The sliders are operatively engaged within faceted cavities associated with the tool body, which creates load components that act in a tangential direction, allowing a thin-walled tool body to withstand increased holding force.
