A retrievable toggle bolt for mounting an object on a drywall or other
hollow wall structure includes a headless bolt having a threaded shaft
with a terminal portion for insertion through a hole in the drywall. A
toggle is engaged by a pivot-and-slide engagement configuration with the
terminal portion of the headless bolt so that the toggle is free to pivot
relative to the headless bolt about a pivot axis substantially
perpendicular to the direction of elongation and the pivot axis is
slidingly displaceable along part of the toggle roughly parallel to the
length. The pivot-and-slide engagement configuration links the toggle to
as to rotate together with the headless bolt about an axis parallel to
the direction of extension. The result is a toggle bolt which can be
switched between an insertion/removal state and a locked state by simply
turning the headless bolt through a half-turn about its axis.
