Substrate anchoring device

A fastener for attachment to a building construction substrate in which only a front side of the substrate is accessible, comprising:

• an elongate body comprising a bolt, the elongate body configured to be received within an aperture through the substrate, the elongate body having a first end and a second end, the bolt comprising a head and a threaded shaft;
• a toggle carried by the elongate body, wherein the toggle is configured to prevent removal of the fastener from the aperture, the toggle comprising a first stop bar having a first linear surface and a second stop bar having a second linear surface, each of the first stop bar and the second stop bar pivotally coupled with the second end of the elongate body, the toggle having a first configuration in which the toggle can advance within the aperture and a second configuration which prevents the fastener from being retracted from the aperture, wherein the first linear surface and the second linear surface are aligned in a colinear manner in the second configuration of the toggle;
• a spring having a first end and a second end, the spring carried by the bolt;
• wherein the fastener has an installed position in which the spring is fully collapsed between the head of the bolt and a front face of the substrate and each of the first linear surface of the first stop bar and the second linear surface of the second stop bar is engaged with a back face of the substrate;
• wherein the fastener is configured to be converted from an uninstalled position to the installed position by inserting the elongate body into the aperture from the front face of the substrate with the toggle in the first configuration and advancing the elongate body within the aperture until the spring engages with the front face of the substrate;
• wherein the elongate body is further advanced within the aperture to deform the spring and advance the toggle a clearance length out of the aperture on a back face of the substrate such that the toggle can move to the second configuration;
• wherein the spring reverts to retract the elongate body within the aperture and wherein a biasing force of the spring is configured to engage each of the first linear surface and the second linear surface of the toggle with the back face of the substrate such that contact between the first linear surface and the second linear surface and the back face inhibits rotation of the toggle relative to the substrate in response to rotation of the bolt and the first stop bar and the second stop bar prevent retraction of the elongate body through the aperture;
• wherein the bolt is configured to be rotated to collapse the spring and to engage with the front face of the substrate through the spring when the fastener is in the installed position.
