ABSTRACT:
A wall fastener for releasable attachment to a wallboard having an angled slot formed therethrough includes a one-piece, elongated, flat, resilient base plate having a substantially rectilinear first element which has opposite ends and at least one bore hole formed therethrough between the opposite ends thereof, a substantially rectilinear second element disposed at an acute angle to the first element, which has opposite ends, one end of which is integrally joined to one of the ends of the first element, and a substantially rectilinear third element. The third element has opposite ends, one end of which is integrally joined to the other end of the second element, and the third element is disposed at an angle to the second element which is substantially complementary to the acute angle so that the third element is substantially parallel to the first element. At least one of the second and third elements has at least one bore hole extending therethrough aligned with the at least one bore hole of the first element. The second and third elements are insertable in the wallboard slot so that the first element lies substantially flush against the first surface of the wallboard, the second element lies substantially within the slot and the third element lies substantially flush against the rear surface of the wallboard. A screw may be threadably received through the bore holes so as to securely fasten the base plate to the wallboard.
