<p>An apparatus is disclosed for fixing an object (104) to a wall surface having an outer plasterbo'ard layer (30) and an underlying supporting structure (12) , the first layer being spaced from the supporting structure by a cavity (34) . In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a first member (52) arranged to be inserted in a recess (18) provided in the supporting structure and a second member (62) arranged to cooperate with the first member so as to secure the latter within the recess. The first member provides an anchoring for a threaded fastener (22) . In use, the object to be fixed can be clamped between the threaded fastener and at least one of the first and second members (62, 52) . Advantageously, the invention can support relatively heavy loads whilst reducing, or substantially eliminating, lateral loading of the plasterboard layer thereby reducing the likelihood of deformation or failure.</p> |
