<p>The invention concerns anchoring devices for blind fixing to a mounting surface. In particular, the anchoring device of the present invention comprises a toggle plate 22 having a first aperture 42 which is threaded for the acceptance of an external fitting such as a bolt and a second aperture 43 for connection to a guide means 21. In addition, the device comprises a clip 23. At a region where the guide means connects to the toggle plate 22, there is provided a connection portion which is arranged to be resiliently deformable so as to allow the main extent of the guide means 21 to be put in parallel relation with the toggle plate to permit the toggle plate to be pushed through an aperture of a mounting surface. Once the full extent of the toggle plate has passed through the aperture in the mounting surface, the toggle plates 22 springs back into an open configuration substantially at 90 DEG to the main extent of the guide means 21. Clip 23 may then be pushed along runners of the guide means 21 and used to line the hole in the mounting surface. Once the clip is in place, the bolt may be passed through the clip and into connection with the first aperture 42. The runners of the guide means 21 may be trimmed to an appropriate length once the bolt is in place and the bolt may be used to affix any given external fixture to the mounting surface. <IMAGE></p> |
