Abstract: An anchor, for inserting into a wall structure, having a cylindrical body, a flanged end, a cutting end and a through bore adapted to receive a support fastener. The outer surface of the body is threaded. The cutting end comprising a single cutter extending distally from the periphery of the through bore at the cutting end. Access of the cut material to the through bore as the cutting end of the anchor is inserted into the wall and rotated as provided by the entry end of the anchor, the periphery of which, extends in a spiral path.
Abstract: An anchor for insertion in wall board and having a cylindrical body with an outer thread and an axial passage and a flanged proximal end and a saw-tipped distal end. The flange at the proximal end may be formed as a hook and the saw-tipped end is provided with access areas about the rim of the distal end adjacent the leading and trailing edges of the saw tooth or teeth.
Abstract: A wall anchor for insertion in wall board and having a cylindrical body with an outer thread and an axial through passage extending from a flanged proximal end to a saw-tipped distal end. The cylindrical body comprises a proximal extension and a distal extension of approximately the same length equal to the width of wall board. The flange at the proximal end may be provided with locking tabs and the saw-tipped end may be provided with mashing teeth on a circumference of revolution smaller than that of the sawing teeth.
