Abstract
A toggle-bolt type fastener has pocket structure incorporated therein for accommodating extra-long threaded bolt fasteners in a coaxial manner within the toggle-bolt type fastener. Alternatively, structure has been incorporated within the toggle-bolt type fastener which accommodates extra-long threaded bolt fasteners by causing the same to be slightly deflected from their coaxial disposition within the toggle-bolt type fastener so as to permit the same to bypass the pointed tip of the toggle-bolt type fastener. Still further, additional structure has been incorporated within the toggle-bolt type fastener for ensuring the fact that when the nut member is moved from its original, axially oriented, inoperative or non-deployed position, to its second, transversely oriented, operative or deployed position, the nut member will in fact be disposed substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the toggle-bolt type fastener so as to ensure the proper threaded engagement thereby by the threaded bolt fastener.
