ABSTRACT:
A mounting device representing a combination paper clip and a pointed mounting member therefor, designed to be appended to a bulletin board or other mounting surface. This novel mounting device is of elongate configuration and involves a resilient wire having a plurality of bends therein, with selected ones of the bends defining a pair of elongate, coplanar loops. A first of the loops is slightly larger than the second of the loops, with the side portions of the second loop residing essentially within the confines of the side portions of the first loop. An article-receiving location is defined between the loops, adjacent one end of the device. The article-receiving location is adapted for receiving a relatively flat item inserted between the loops, with the inherent resilience of the wire tending to hold the flat item in a secure manner. One of the side portions of the first loop serves as the mounting means for a pressure-applying member located at an essentially opposite end of the mounting device from the article-receiving location. A pointed mounting member is operatively associated with the pressure-applying member and disposed at essentially a right angle thereto. The pointed mounting member is of a length to extend beyond the plane of the loops and by virtue of its position, when pressure is applied to the pressure-applying member, the pointed mounting member is caused to penetrate the mounting surface and be retained therein.
