Wall anchor
| Details |
Inventors: Lesowsky, Joseph;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Britts; Ramon S.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Turner; Perry E.
There is disclosed a wall anchor structure having a hollow body in which spaced ribs extend from a flanged portion at one end to a sleeve in which an axially movable nut element is captured. A bolt extends through the body from the flanged end to threadedly engage the nut. With the bolt head abutting the flange, the structure is struck or otherwise inserted through a dry wall or wallboard to bring the flange flush against the inner surface of the wall. The bolt, being slidable, is grasped at the head and pulled out to separate the head from the flange an amount permitted by the axial travel of the nut. This permits the jaws of an anchor operating tool to be inserted between the head and flange, and forced apart to forcibly separate the head and flange further, causing the ribs to deform so as to bite into and interlock with the wall material. The bolt is then threaded out of the nut and removed to permit a bracket or other support member for shelving or the like to be seated against the flange. The bolt is then reinserted to threadedly engage the nut, and turned until the bolt head seats against and secures the bracket firmly against the flange, and hence to the wall. Different sleeve and nut shapes are disclosed, as are different provisions for capturing the nut within the sleeve. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A wall anchor comprising: a tubular body having a flange at one end, said body having elongated slots therein to provide spaced elongated ribs; a sleeve extending from the other end of said body; a nut element coaxial with and located within said sleeve, said nut element and said sleeve having cooperating means for permitting non-rotative axial sliding movement therebetween; means within said sleeve to limit movement of said nut element therein; and a threaded bolt extending through said body and said sleeve and threadedly engaging said nut element on the inner end of said bolt, said bolt having a head to engage said flange, said bolt being slidable out of said body by grasping said head, said head upon slidable movement of said bolt being spaced from said flange a distance determined by the limits of movement of said nut element in said sleeve.
2.
The combination of claim 1, wherein said sleeve is cylindrical and said nut element is circular, said sleeve having slots therein, and said nut element having protrusions therefrom which ride in said slots.
3.
The combination of claim 1, wherein said sleeve and nut element are mating noncircular members.
4.
The combination of claim 2, wherein said sleeve is formed to trap said nut element adjacent the closed ends of the slots therein when said nut element is forced to said closed slot ends.
5.
The combination of claim 1, wherein a portion of the open end of said sleeve is shaped to prevent said nut element from passing out of said open end.
6.
The combination of claim 2, wherein said protrusions engage the sleeve at the closed ends of said slots at the outer limit to which said bolt head is positioned upon sliding said bolt outwardly, the spacing between said bolt head and said flange permitting jaws of an operating tool to be inserted between them, said ribs deforming upon forcing said bolt head further from said flange upon application of oppositely directed forces upon said head and flange by said jaws.
