ABSTRACT:
An attachment assembly for lockably but releasably securing a picture frame or the like to a wall surface. The assembly includes a plurality of bracket plates each having a keyhole opening for coaction with a respective headed fastener element secured to the wall surface, and a locking plate mounted for pivotal movement on one of the bracket plates between an unlocked position in which a mask opening in the locking plate unmasks the head portion of the keyhole opening, to allow passage of the head of the wall fastener element, and a locked position in which the mask opening unmasks the slot portion of the keyhole opening. The mask opening includes a edge surface that extends obliquely across the entrance to the keyhole opening slot portion in the unlocked position of the locking plate and coacts with the shank portion of the wall fastener to rotate the locking plate to its locked position as the shank portion advances into the slot portion of the keyhole opening. The mask opening also includes another edge surface that moves in behind the advancing shank portion and extends perpendicularly across the entrance to the keyhole opening head portion to preclude reverse rotation of the locking plate in response to engagement by the shank portion.
