  • Wall plug having alignment sleeve
    Publication number: 20020044848
    Abstract: A wall plug (1) comprises a body portion (2:30:30a:40) and a rotatable portion (3:31:31a:41) received therein, the rotatable portion having a passageway (13:32:32a:42) therethrough which is offset both from the axis of rotation of the rotatable portion and also from the axis of the passageway in the body portion in which the rotatable portion is received. The rotatable portion can thus be angularly adjusted to a selected position of offset between its passageway axis and the axis of the passageway in the body portion to compensate for a hole drilled to receive the wall plug being out of position. The offset lead-in offered by the passageway in the rotatable position makes screw engagement easier than with a wholly misaligned wall plug. Means (16, 17) are provided for retaining the rotatable portion in its selected adjusted position.
