A fastener assembly (10) includes an elongated tubular body (12) having a face plate (14) at its proximal end. The tubular body (12) defines an axial cavity dimensioned to receive a support member. When inserted into a properly dimensioned hole formed in a support structure, for example a wall, the rear face of the face plate (14) contacts the portion of the support structure surface which surrounds the hole. The tubular body, and the support structure received therein, is maintained in position by an anchoring member (24) disposed proximate the distal end of the tubular body. The anchor member comprises a base portion (26) defining a central, threaded aperture (28). A plurality of elongated wings (30), bendable in the direction of the tubular body, extend from the base portion (26) in a direction toward the face plate (14). A threaded member (22), inserted into the threaded aperture (20), is rotated to draw the wings (30) into contact with the inside surface of the wall panel. |
