A toggle bolt, also known as a butterfly anchor, is a fastener for hanging things on hollow walls such as drywalls. Toggle bolts have wings that open inside a hollow wall, bracing against it to hold the fastener securely. The wings are much larger than the bolt they are attached to. This spreads the weight of the secured item over a larger area, increasing the weight that can be secured compared to a regular bolt. 3, record 1, English, - toggle%20bolt

Il est possible de créer de l'ombre autour de la piscine. Le parasol papillon est auto-portant et son point d’ancrage, placé de manière latérale, facilite grandement la disposition des meubles de patio. Il est intéressant d’en juxtaposer plusieurs, de manière à entourer une piscine par exemple. 3, record 2, French, - parasol%20Papillon
