Abstract

An improved anchor assembly for retaining an elongated fastener member within an opening defined by a wall portion having at least one concealed side. Such devices typically comprise at least two elongated leg members, means for connecting a pair of adjacent end portions of the leg members, an apertured anchor member coupled to the legs at opposite end portions and a collar member secured to the legs for sandwiching the wall portion between the collar and the anchor member. The improvement comprises providing each of the legs with respective coupling studs aligned along their major transverse dimensions for engaging substantially longitudinal flanges from anchor member on either side thereof or attaching the legs across the minor dimension of the anchor.
