Abstract
An anchoring member is provided for anchoring an object to a supporting surface having a bore for receiving the anchoring member. The anchoring member comprises an elongate cylindrical body having a penetrating end arranged to be embedded in the bore and an exposed end opposite the penetrating end. The exposed end is configured differently than the penetrating end for distinguishing which end is to be embedded into the bore. At least part of the outer surface of the body is threaded adjacent the exposed end. An adhesive compound arranged to be coated about the penetrating end of the body secures the body within the bore. A heat generating compound located within a chamber in the body generates ambient heat for assisting in setting and curing the adhesive compound for anchoring the body in the bore.
