Patent ID: 8356782

Claim:
A device for supporting an object on a wall having front and rear surfaces, the device comprising: an elongated arcuate member having a penetration end and a support end, the penetration end terminating in at least one point, the support end having a support means; and a pressure disk slidably retained at an aperture therethrough on the arcuate member between the penetration end and the support end thereof, a first stop means including a first protrusion, the first stop means being included along the arcuate member proximate the penetration end for retaining the pressure disk on the arcuate member, the first protrusion extending away from a surface of the arcuate member sufficiently to stop the pressure disk from sliding past the protrusion, the first stop means for applying a resistive force to the pressure disk in a direction opposite the direction of the pointed penetration end of the arcuate member; whereby with the pressure disk engaging the first stop means and the penetration end of the arcuate member contacting the front surface of the wall, pressure may be applied to the pressure disk to force the penetration end of the arcuate member through the wall, whereupon the arcuate member may be fully inserted through the wall, the arcuate member curved such that when the support means or the pressure disk contacts the front surface of the wall the penetration means contacts the rear surface of the wall to retain the device firmly in the wall.
