ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a wall hanger that can be used to hang pictures and the like from a wall. The wall hanger is single, continuous wire member having a hook section, a linear section adjacent to the hook section and a curved section adjacent to the linear section. The linear section is designed to be longer than the thickness of the wall, thereby allowing the wall hanger to be used with pre-existing holes having diameters up to about four times the diameter of the wire member. The shape and resiliency of the wire member allow it to automatically lock into position when completely inserted in the wall. The wall has a blunt tail end which does not damage the back surface of the wall.
