Abstract

See full text

A ratchet toggle connector for fastening together two or more workpieces. The fastener includes an anchor ribbon and a retaining cap. The anchor ribbon includes an extended ribbon with an integrated gear rack, and an integral anchor with a pair of bendable tapered wings. The retaining cap houses a pawl and a slot sized and shaped to receive a free end of the extended ribbon. In use, the gear rack and pawl engage to resist retraction of the retaining cap when the extended ribbon is received in the slot, and the wings are configured to bend toward the extended ribbon to a collapsed state for passage of the anchor through an opening in a workpiece and to rebound to an expanded state following passage of the anchor through the opening, to prevent retraction of the anchor through the opening.
