ABSTRACT:
Method of blind anchoring for mounting on plasterboard or other dry wall panels having inaccessable backs, fixtures attachable by screws or bolts, the assembly having as a blind anchor member a strong stiff elongated machinable plate, as a puller a flexible string or cord passed through a central drilling in and knotted beyond the back of the plate, and a self-sticking adhesive coating on the front of the plate. Using a flange of the fixture as a marking template, an opening, within the perimeters of the flange and any screw holes therein, is cut through the wall. Sized to fit, the anchor plate with the string attached is inserted through the wall opening and after positioning manually by fingers extended through the opening, is pulled by the string against the inside of the wall. With the plate then held in position by the adhesive and the tensile force on the string, holes are drilled in the marked positions through the anchor plate for receiving the attaching screws. If the fixture is double-ended, the procedure is repeated at its other end before screwing both its ends through the wall to the then hidden anchor plates.
