Abstract:
1. An anchoring fastener system for a wall comprising: a plate with front and rear surfaces, a head attached to said rear surface of said plate, wherein said head is selected from the group consisting of hooks, loops, and clamps; a shaft with proximal and distal ends, said proximal end being attached to said front surface of said plate, and wherein said head is attached to said rear surface of said plate at a position radially offset from a major axis of said shaft, a foot attached to said distal end of said shaft, wherein said foot extends transversely from said shaft, and a wall anchor including first and second sections coupled together by a connecting element, and wherein said second section terminates in a single sharpened tip, said wall anchor having initial and final conditions and arranged to receive said shaft and said foot, said wall anchor being arranged so that when installed in said wall in said first condition with said first and second sections of said wall anchor being collinear, and said foot and said shaft are inserted into said anchor and rotated, said anchor will assume said final condition with said second section rotated about said connecting element away from said first section and secured against an inside surface of said wall, whereupon when said head is turned, said foot urges said wall anchor into said final condition, thereby securing said anchoring fastener to said wall.
