toggle bolt
Hollow wall fastener
A toggle bolt is a fastener for mounting things on hollow walls.
The bolt passes through a folding wing mechanism that, once inside the wall cavity, springs open to distribute weight across a larger area than a standard screw could support: Use toggle bolts to hang that heavy mirror on drywall.
