Abstract

See full text

An anchor for accepting a screw and a method of using the same is provided. In an embodiment, the anchor has a generally cylindrical hollow shaft secured to a generally concave circular spring-tensioned base unit. From the underside of the generally concave circular spring-tensioned base unit, the generally cylindrical hollow shaft receives a screw (applied from the opposing side of a wall or panel). The generally concave circular spring-tensioned base unit may be secured to the wall or panel in a predominately flush manner (along the rim) and may be used to prevent insulating foam from dislodging the anchor, which must remain in place during the foam process. In an embodiment, the device does not utilize adhesives or tape.
