I have shown in lligs. l to one tor-1n olf my settling; tool E28" This setting tool )lllprises t sileew 20 having; its inner en l provided with looking surfaces-1 2i, preferably torineil by spinning); the ernl of the sleeve, Within this sleeve 230 l mount a plunger or ejector 22 so as to have frictional engagen'ient with the interior of the sleeve. This; frictional engerreineiih to pltVGlll the planner or ejector (hopping out of the sleet 530 only be accomplished in rariouw ways. I have shown by way of example a out or lrerlfi ill-l in the enil oi: the plunger or ejector 2E3 anrl mounted therein :1 :trirtion,

oil

till

member 24 formed of resilient wire having its ends 25, 25 (Fig. l) bent towards each other and engaging in the hole 26. \Vhen the plunger or ejector is pushed into the .sleeve 20, these

ends

25, 25 are caused to approach each other, the friction member 24 being compressed and yieldingly engaging with the inner surface of the sleeve 20. This friction, however, does not interfere with the ready operation of the plunger or ejector 22, being merely sufficient to hold the plunger or ejector in any position within the sleeve 20.

To insert the toggle 1 with the aid of the setting tool 28, the toggle head is swung from the position shown in Fig. 6 to brinthrough the hole 8 in the wall or other suitable support, until the inner end of the toggle head. clears the inner surface 10 of the wall or other suitable support. Then by grasping the sleeve 20 with the fingers of one hand, and pushing in the plunger or eject-or 22 with the other hand, the end of the plunger or ejector 22 will trip the trigger 7, and cause it to disengage the locking surface 21 of the sleeve 20. The parts will then be in the position shown in Fig. 3, the toggle snapping from the dotted position in that figure to the position shown in full lines. By then pulling out on the sleeve 20, which will carry the plunger or ejector 22 with it, the toggle head is moved to the right of Fig. 3 and caused to straddle or bridge the hole 4. Further pressure to the right of Fig. will withdraw the tool as shown in Fig. 1. The prongs (i, (S will he pulled out from engagement with the lo 1l-: ing surfaces 21 on the sleeve 20 and will immediately engage the inner surface 11. of the wall, or other suitablesupport 8, and automatically hold the toggle head in correct position bridging or straddling the hole 8, as shown in Fig. 4.

The work 13, whatever it may be, can then be secured to the exposed surface 1% of the wall or other suitable support 9.

In screwing up the head of the bolt, the end 16 of the bolt 15 will engage with the resilient member 4, and as the tOggle head is tightened and secured against the inner surface 10 of the wall or other support, the prongs 6, (i of the resilient member will be caused to scrape along the inner surface 11, but this action is not objectionable for it does not occur until the male threads on the bolt cooperate with the female threads in the hole 2 of the toggle 1.

In some walls large air pickets. or other voids, are encountered and to get the prope strength or support for the work .1 it is necessary to go beyond these poclcct.-=. 'll often entails the use of :2 very long stove. machine or other bolt. The exact length of bolt needed is: hard to determine and H- quires manipulation of several lengths of bolts before the correct length is found.

By one feature of my invention 1 enable the operator to tell at a glance exactly the correct length of stove or other bolt to be employed. I accomplish this by calilu'ating the setting tool.

In Fig. 8 I have shown on a smaller scale, a wall 35 having an air pocket or void 36.

In drilling the hole 37, the operator may find that the portion of the "\Yll $38 is not strong enough to support the work, and therefore he drills through the portion ilf on the other side of the air pocket 36, so that the toggle head will get a lirm bearing on the inner surface -l0 of the wall or other suitable support To enable the operator to determine at a glance the exact length of stove or other bolt that will have to be used to cooperate with the toggle head 1, I calibrate the setting tool so that the graduated portion of the tool, which is in line with the outer Hill 41, will give the correct reading and show exactly the length of bolt that would have to be employed; thereby avoiding the delay of manipulating a series of bolts of dill crenl lengths to determine which one is the correct length to coop rato with the toggle.

For convenience of manufacture, l preferably provide the main sleeve 20 with interior or female scrmv-lhreads 42, (Fig. U to I'()-- operate with the exterior screw-llneads lil on the extension sleeve ll which sleeve i:' calibrated as shown in Fig. 9. While .l preferably employ av sleeve and an extrusion sleeve connected together it is of ttllll'rc lo be umlerstood that if desired the olllcr sleeve may be a. single member.

Having thus described this invention in connection with illustrative embodiment; thereof, to the details of which I do not desire to be limited, what is claimed as new and what is desired to secure by Letters latent is set forth in the appended claims.
