Blind fastener device

摘要

A blind fastener device (10) comprises a channel shaped anchor member (11) and an elongate coupling rod (12) adjustably connected thereto, the device (10) being capable of being presented to an access side (14a) of a through-hole (16) in a building component (14) to a blind side (14b) and the device (10) being adjustable between an insertion mode in which the anchor (11) and rod (12) present a profile of minimum lateral extent, and an anchor position at the blind side in which the anchor (11) takes-up a profile of maximum lateral extent so as to overlie the entrance to the through-hole (16) at the blind side (14b), and in which the coupling rod (12) is held captive (via rod nut (13) engaging in anchor recess 21) when the coupling member and anchor are adjusted to the anchor position whereby the coupling rod (12) extends perpendicular to the anchor in this captive position to form a fixing element to which a device can be fastened. <IMAGE>
