Abstract: The Z-Hook is a new wall hanging device because it uses a single, bent, flat or round piece of metal which increases strength and load carrying ability, has much simpler manufacturing (a minimum of 2 bends and a point), and can be made by modifying current hooks and nails. The Z-Hook resembles a slightly modified letter “Z” in shape. The flat version uses a pointed, flat wall insertion part that increases strength and load carrying ability, both types can be scaled up using any width or strength of material to secure a wide range of loads, and the Z-Hook can also be used to secure many other items (such as clothes hooks, shelves, and TVs) to walls.
