Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A wall anchor assembly (10) has a collar (20) from which a pair of posts (26) extend. A bolt (18) can pass through the collar. An anchor member (31) is captive between the two posts. Ridges and channels slidable engage the anchor member with its longitudinal axis substantially parallel to the posts and transmit axial rotation from the collar to the anchor member. The anchor member has a tip for tapping through a wall and ramps for rotating the anchor member perpendicular to the posts. Screwing the bolt draws the anchor member against the wall to clamp the wall anchor assembly to the wall.

Why it's free to use
- Filed July 24, 1998 and granted March 20, 2012. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended July 24, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 24, 2020.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
