  • Patent number: 10781843
    Abstract: An example toggle bolt catch for use with a toggle bolt is described. The toggle bolt catch includes a collar eyelet and a toggle catch. The collar eyelet includes a cylindrical ring having a central opening to allow the toggle of a toggle bolt to pass through and a flange that extends radially outward from the cylindrical ring. The toggle catch includes a minor arc stem that extends away from a back of the cylindrical ring. In use, the toggle bolt catch is inserted through a hole formed in drywall, for example, with the minor arc stem extending in the open space behind the drywall. When the bolt of the toggle bolt is rotated, the toggle can rotate only until it contacts the minor arc stem, after which further rotation of the bolt will draw the toggle of the toggle bolt toward the bolt without additional rotation of the toggle.
