ANCHORING FASTENER WITH MOVABLE BINDING MEMBER

摘要

A compact wall fastener (200) comprises pivotably connected proximal and distal sections where the proximal section has a through hole (205). The dis tal and proximal sections (220,222,235) preferably are flat. The distal sect ion has a cam follower surface (251 ), a point (240), and a raised portion ( 250) that has the cam follower surface. The fastener is driven into a wallbo ard (600) until its proximal surface is parallel to the surface (605) of the wallboard. An activating pin or screw (615) is inserted into the entry of t he fastener and forced into contact with the cam follower and then past the raised portion, forcing the distal section to bend, thereby causing the dist al section to rotate downward until it is in contact with the inside surface (610) of the wallboard. The result is a secure fastener with minimal damage to the wallboard.
