Publication number: 20120272507Abstract: A wall anchor is specially designed for mounting wire shelving systems to a wall. The wall anchor includes a threaded end to thread into the wall. The wall anchor is equipped with a clip that locks the shelving in place. Once the wall anchor is secured into the wall, wire shelving can snap in place in the clip. The wall anchor is made as a single piece, thereby providing quick and easy installation of wire shelving as compared with conventional two-piece designs. With the wall anchor, no hole preparation is necessary, the wall anchor has a tip that pre-drills its own small, precise hole in the wall, allowing the wall anchor to be used with gypsum wallboard, replacing plastic plugs and toggles.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2012Publication date: November 1, 2012Inventor: Frank J.
