  • Patent number: 8356782
    Abstract: A device is disclosed for supporting an object, such as a picture frame, on a wall. The device includes an arcuate member having a penetration end that terminates in at least one point. The arcuate member further includes a support end, opposite the penetration end, that has a support hook. A pressure disk may be slidably retained at an aperture therethrough on the arcuate member. A plurality of different support accessories may be included, the support hook being adapted to support each support accessory thereon. In use, with the penetration end of the arcuate member contacting the front surface of the wall, pressure is applied to the pressure disk that binds against the arcuate member to force the penetration end of the arcuate member through the wall. The arcuate member is curved such that when the support hook 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 and to support the object.
