    		My husband rfers to them as toggle screws but I believe these may be what you are refering to...click the link to see a picture.
    Plastic expansion anchors are one of the most commonly used... and abused... wall anchors. They are available in a number of sizes and designs (see graphic). Larger plastic anchors will accept larger screws and therefore have greater holding capacity. The more heavily "ribbed" anchors will give the greatest gripping strength, regardless of the wall material.

    		Oddly enough, they're usually recognized as mirror clips. The expansion fastener is a separate hardware item.
