Abstract: A fastener for holding items to a perforated wall, including fasteners for consumer and commercial uses and in displaying collector items or goods for sale, or for supporting heavy items, or for supporting shelves, platforms, wire frames and similar items on a perforated wall, the item holder having a base member with a fastener insertable into the perforated wall. The fastener has a projection with an axis preferably, but not necessarily, perpendicular to the wall and an axially extending passageway, at least a portion of the projection being displaceable laterally of its axis. An elongated pin, plunger, or cam member is insertable into the passageway in an insertion direction and is effective to displace the projection portion laterally of the projection axis for mounting the item holder to the wall. The locking mechanism may be operated by movement of the pin, plunger, or cam member axially or radially of the fastener. No tools are needed to lock or release the item holder from the perforated wall.

Abstract: A fastener for holding objects to a perforated wall having at least one hole passing therethrough from a front wall surface to a rear wall surface, the fastener comprising a first portion which is in contact with an object to be secured to the wall, a second portion passing into the hole in the wall and extending to the rear wall surface, and a third portion passable through the hole and having at least a portion thereof moveable relative to the opening of the hole after passing through it so as to extend, at least partially, radially outwardly of the periphery of the hole, thereby offering resistance to the removal of the fastener from the hole in a rear-to-front direction. The second portion of the fastener may be integrally attached to a base member. The second portion may include a plurality of spaced elongated fingers, the first and second fastener portions having a central passageway therethrough extending axially of the second portion.

Abstract: An implement for holding objects to a perforated wall having at least one hole passing therethrough from a front wall surface to a rear wall surface, the implement comprising a base member, a tool holding member fixed or fixable to the front of the base member, a fastener fixed or fixable to and projecting from the rear of the base member, and, optionally, a hook-like member fixed to and projecting from the rear of the base member. The hook-like member is spaced from the fastener for engaging the wall behind a second, spaced hole in the wall.
