    Abstract: The present invention is a toggle fastener for providing a means to attach a screw to a drywall wall. The toggle consists of a unitary toggle member having a wing portion and an elongated tongue portion. The wing portion has a width and opposite ends, the elongated tongue portion extending perpendicularly from a center portion on the wing portion between the opposite ends. The tongue portion has a width and a substantially flat cross sectional profile with opposite edges. The width of the tongue portion extends perpendicularly across the width of the wing portion, the wing portion having a wing aperture passing through the wing at a point on the wing adjacent the elongated tongue. The toggle member is made of a flexible polymeric material selected to permit the tongue portion to resiliently bend between a first position wherein the tongue extends perpendicularly away from the wing and a second position wherein the tongue is parallel to and overlays the wing portion.
