Abstract
A toggle fixing for fixing an article to a thin-walled component, having a crosspiece for engaging behind the component, which crosspiece has an opening for receiving a screw. Connected to the crosspiece there is an elongated strip having a displaceable sleeve which has a screw hole for passage of the screw. The sleeve has an engagement element for threaded engagement of a screw in order that the latter does not unintentionally tilt the crosspiece during mounting. In order to provide quick insertion of a screw, the engagement element has a manipulating element such that the engagement element is movable radially outwards relative to the longitudinal axis, and the engagement element is manipulatable from a rear side of the sleeve emote from the crosspiece.
