Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A toggle fixing having a crosspiece and a strip which is pivotally connected to the crosspiece via a flexible portion. The crosspiece is formed with a detent with which the crosspiece, on insertion through a through-hole in a plasterboard panel, is supported against a toothing of the strip.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A toggle fixing for fixing to a panel, having a crosspiece which has a screw hole for screwing in a screw transversely with respect to the crosspiece, and having a strip pivotally connected to the crosspiece for handling the toggle fixing during fixing, which strip is pivotable into a position in which it projects from the crosspiece and into a position longitudinal with respect to the crosspiece and at a side of the crosspiece, and including a counter-bearing on the strip, against which the crosspiece is supported in a pushing direction of the strip once the strip has been pivoted into the position longitudinal with respect to the crosspiece at the side of the crosspiece. 2. The toggle fixing according to claim 1 , wherein the strip has a flexible portion as articulated connection to the crosspiece, and the strip is more resistant to bending outside the flexible portion than in the flexible portion, and the counter-bearing is located on the strip outside the flexible portion on a side of the flexible portion remote from the crosspiece. 3. The toggle fixing according to claim 1 , wherein the crosspiece and the strip are in one piece. 4. The toggle fixing according to claim 1 , wherein the strip has a rack with toothing on a side that faces towards the crosspiece once the strip has been pivoted into the position longitudinal with respect to the crosspiece to the side of the crosspiece, and one or more teeth of the toothing form the counter-bearing. 5. The toggle fixing according to claim 4 , wherein a sleeve having a through-hole for a screw is displaceable on the strip, which sleeve co-operates with the toothing of the strip in the manner of a pawl, so that the sleeve is displaceable on the strip only in the direction of the crosspiece. 6. The toggle fixing according to claim 1 , wherein an end of the crosspiece is supported against the counter-bearing once the strip has been pivoted into the position longitudinal with respect to the crosspiece at the side of the crosspiece. 7. The toggle fixing according to claim 1 , wherein the crosspiece has a detent with which the crosspiece is supported against the counter-bearing once the strip has been pivoted into the position longitudinal with respect to the crosspiece to the side of the crosspiece. 8. The toggle fixing according to claim 1 , wherein the side of the crosspiece and the counter-bearing are engageable via complementary mating surfaces. 9. The toggle fixing according to claim 1 , wherein the side of the crosspiece and the counter-bearing are engageable via mating surfaces that engage each other in the pushing direction. 10. The toggle fixing according to claim 1 , wherein the side of the crosspiece is parallel with the strip when the strip is moved in the pushing direction. 11. The toggle fixing according to claim 1 , wherein the strip is resilient outside the flexible portion whereby the strip rests against the crosspiece against the crosspiece during movement of the strip in the pushing direction.
