Estimating the term…
An anchor assembly for walls comprises a toggle member and a strap member pivotally mounted together, and a locking member. In a first position thereof, the toggle member is aligned with the strap member for insertion through the wall, whereas in a second position thereof, the toggle member extends behind the wall at an angle relative to the strap member which extends from the toggle member through the hole in the wall. The locking member is adapted to be displaced along the strap member until it engages the wall and to he locked on the strap member to prevent the locking member from displacing away from the toggle member. Therefore, the locking member and the toggle member are connected by the strap member and imprison the wall by abutting respectively the visible and hidden sides thereof. A fastener introduced through the locking member and the wall threadably engages an opening defined in the toggle member.
An anchor assembly for walls, comprising a strap member, a spring member, a toggle member pivotally mounted to said strap member, and a locking member slidable along said strap member, said toggle member being displaceable between first and second positions thereof, wherein in said first position said toggle member is substantially aligned with said strap member for insertion through a hole in the wall while biasedly engaging said spring member, wherein said toggle member once behind the wall is displaced towards said second position by said spring member, and wherein in said second position said toggle member extends behind the wall at an angle relative to said strap member with said strap member extending from said toggle member through the hole in the wall, said locking member being adapted to be displaced along said strap member and towards the wall and said toggle member, locking means being provided for preventing said locking member from being displaced away from said toggle member, whereby once the anchor is installed, said locking member and said toggle member are connected by a distal section of said strap member and imprison the wall by abutting opposed sides thereof, a proximal section of said strap member located forwardly of said locking member being adapted to be removed, said toggle member being adapted to be engaged by a fastener introduced through said locking member and through the hole in the wall.

An anchor assembly for walls, comprising a strap member, a spring member, a toggle member pivotally mounted to said strap member, said strap member being provided with a single strap, and a locking member slidable along said single strap, said toggle member being displaceable between first and second positions thereof, wherein in said first position said toggle member is substantially aligned with said strap member for insertion through a hole in the wall while biasedly engaging said spring member, wherein said toggle member once behind the wall is displaced towards said second position by said spring member, and wherein in said second position said toggle member extends behind the wall at an angle relative to said strap member with said strap member extending from said toggle member through the hole in the wall, said locking member being adapted to be displaced along said single strap and towards the wall and said toggle member, locking means being provided for preventing said locking member from being displaced away from said toggle member, whereby once the anchor is installed, said locking member and said toggle member are connected by a distal section of said strap member and imprison the wall by abutting opposed sides thereof, a proximal section of said strap member located forwardly of said locking member being adapted to be removed, said toggle member being adapted to be engaged by a fastener introduced through said locking member and through the hole in the wall.
14-16. (canceled)
An anchor assembly for walls, comprising at least one strap member, a toggle member pivotally mounted to said strap member, and a locking member slidable along said strap member, said toggle member having a cutting end and being displaceable between first and second positions thereof, wherein in said first position said cutting end of said toggle member is a leading end thereof, whereby said toggle member is adapted to be handled such that said toggle member cuts a hole in a wall via said cutting end such as to extend through the wall, and wherein in said second position said toggle member extends behind the wall at an angle relative to said strap member with said strap member extending from said toggle member through the hole in the wall, said locking member being adapted to be displaced along said strap member and towards the wall and said toggle member, whereby once the anchor is installed, said locking member and said toggle member are connected by a distal section of said strap member and imprison the wall by abutting opposed sides thereof, a said toggle member being adapted to be engaged by a fastener introduced through said locking member and through the hole in the wall.
