ABSTRACT:
A self-drilling plastic anchor installable in a wall by means of a screwdriver, the anchor being adapted to receive a threaded fastener that serves to hold a fixture or other object against the wall. The anchor includes an externally-threaded shank section having an enlarged head that is engageable by the screwdriver and a cavity to receive the fastener. Extending from the lower end of the shank section is a drill section that terminates in a point that lies on the longitudinal axis of the anchor. When the anchor is applied to the wall, the point penetrates its surface, so that the anchor may then be turned by the screwdriver about the point. The drill section is formed by a pair of cutting blades on opposite sides of the anchor axis and a pair of guide blades, each angled relative to a respective cutting blade. When the anchor is turned in, the cutting blades guided by the guide blades proceed to bore a hole in the wall, and when the shank section enters the hole, its bank is tapped by the threading of the shank section until the head thereof engages the surface of the wall to complete the installation. The fastener may then be screwed into the cavity of the shank section. The undersurface of the head has ratchet teeth formed therein which when the head engages the wall surface, the teeth grip this surface to resist turning out of the anchor.
