ABSTRACT:
A one-piece hanger for supporting objects on a wall is disclosed which initially penetrates, and upon full insertion, is substantially irreversibly locked in the wall so that rotation relative to, or removal from, the wall is prevented. The hanger comprises a spring wire element including a straight shank portion which connects a front hook portion with a rear locking portion. The latter has a parabola-like shape, terminates in a pointed and threaded penetrator, and overlies substantially all of the shank portion. A disc or flange is fixed on the forward, outer end of and in generally perpendicular relation with the shank portion and abuts generally flush with the wall when the hanger is mounted on the wall. In mounting the hanger on the wall, the pointed penetrator is first forced through the front face of the wall to form a hole through the wall. As the hanger advances through the hole, the penetrator arches unwardly and back towards the wall and pierces and embeds itself in the rear surface of the wall. The hanger is substantially irreleasably locked in the wall when advanced yet further into the hole so that the curvature of the locking portion is deformed by bowing out. Removal of the hanger from the wall is thus prevented until the locking portion is restored to its original curvature by application of an appropriate forwardly directed pulling force of very substantial magnitude.
