Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
186 words
A wall plug for supporting objects, such as radiators or the like, comprising a sleeve member having a front end portion and a longitudinally slotted rear end portion for insertion into a borehole of a wall, a suppoRting member mounted adjacent the front end portion of said sleeve member, having an at least partly circumferential slot for accommodating an edge or the like of said object, a wedge member adjacent the rear end portion of said sleeve member, having a wedge-shaped or conical surface for penetrating and expanding said sleeve member, and a screw member extending axially through said sleeve member and interconnecting said supporting member and said wedge member in which said supporting member has a first portion substantially greater in diameter than said sleeve member and a second portion separated from said first portion by said slot and tapering in rearward direction so as to attain a rear diameter substantially equal to the diameter of said sleeve member, the tapering part of said second portion forming a sliding surface over which the object being supported can move into the slot in said supporting member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
186 words
A wall plug for supporting objects, such as radiators or the like, comprising a sleeve member having a front end portion and a longitudinally slotted rear end portion for insertion into a borehole of a wall, a suppoRting member mounted adjacent the front end portion of said sleeve member, having an at least partly circumferential slot for accommodating an edge or the like of said object, a wedge member adjacent the rear end portion of said sleeve member, having a wedge-shaped or conical surface for penetrating and expanding said sleeve member, and a screw member extending axially through said sleeve member and interconnecting said supporting member and said wedge member in which said supporting member has a first portion substantially greater in diameter than said sleeve member and a second portion separated from said first portion by said slot and tapering in rearward direction so as to attain a rear diameter substantially equal to the diameter of said sleeve member, the tapering part of said second portion forming a sliding surface over which the object being supported can move into the slot in said supporting member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
