  • Publication number: 20220034347
    Abstract: An anchor (910) for mounting to a hollow wall (W) made of friable material comprises a proximal flanged end (918) adapted to be engaged by a rotatable tool (B) to rotate the anchor (910) about a longitudinal axis (A) thereof and to cause is to gradually engage the wall (W). The anchor (910) also includes a distal end (912) adapted to cut through the wall (W) as the anchor (910) is rotated, and a shank (920) extending between the proximal and distal ends (918, 912). The shank (920) includes at least one expandable leg (924) that is in a collapsed position thereof when the anchor (910) is rotated to mount it to the wall (W) and that is located distally beyond a non visible surface of the wall (W) once the anchor (910) has been mounted to the wall and is in a first position thereof. The wall anchor (910) includes an outer thread (922) that securely engages the wall (W). A threaded fastener (B), e.g.

  • Patent number: 4547160
    Abstract: An educational and building toy including a set of blocks of different lengths, having spaced-apart holes the number of which is determined by the proportional length of the block relative to a unit length. A plurality of discs and wafers are also provided, having holes and also indicia opposed thereon for the arithmetical operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and the cardinal numerals from one to ten, respectively. A plurality of flexible rods having axially-extending and circumferentially spaced ridges are provided. The peaks of the ridges define an outer diameter slightly larger than the diameter of holes in the blocks, discs and wafers, whereby a friction fit is obtained between the rods and perforated pieces to build different objects. The discs have a peripheral flange and a hub. The flange of some of the discs has inner gear teeth for meshing with the rod ridges. The hub hole of some of the discs have indentations for making a spline connection with the rod ridges.
