ABSTRACT:
A fastener for holding objects to a perforated wall having at least one hole passing therethrough from a front wall surface to a rear wall surface, the fastener comprising a first portion which is in contact with an object to be secured to the wall, a second portion passing into the hole in the wall and extending to the rear wall surface, and a third portion passable through the hole and having at least a portion thereof moveable relative to the opening of the hole after passing through it so as to extend, at least partially, radially outwardly of the periphery of the hole, thereby offering resistance to the removal of the fastener from the hole in a rear-to-front direction. The second portion of the fastener may be integrally attached to a base member. The second portion may include a plurality of spaced elongated fingers, the first and second fastener portions having a central passageway therethrough extending axially of the second portion. The fingers of the third portion have thickened tips, and the base member comprises a projection sized and adapted to be pushed through the passageway, first through the first portion of the fastener, and to interfere with the thickened fingertips of the third portion to force the thickened fingertips radially outwardly against the rear periphery of the hole.
