ABSTRACT:
A hanger assembly for one-handed mounting between opposing surfaces of wall studs or ceiling joists in normally inaccessible places. The hanger assembly has telescoping elements with toothed ends which are adapted to pierce into wall studs or ceiling joints when the elements are extended. The telescoping elements are spread apart by planting starter teeth on the follower element into a stud or joist and then turning a main body element until the end teeth of the follower element and the end teeth of the main body unit are fully embedded. The follower element is preferably spring loaded so as to provide the hanger assembly with a following or self-adjusting action. The self-adjusting action causes the hanger assembly to adapt to deformations of the wall studs or ceiling joists and to retain the compressive attachment integrity of the hanger assembly.
