  • Publication number: 20040094685
    Abstract: A device for hanging an object from a wall is disclosed. The device comprises a push plate, a lance, and a hanger. The push plate includes a front push plate surface and a back push plate surface opposing the front push plate surface. The lance extends from the front push plate surface and has a barb, which defines a barb surface, adjacent a distal end. The hanger extends from the front push plate surface. Also, the hanger is capable of receiving the object and biasing the barb surface against the wall when the object is received. At least one of the push plate and the hanger are capable of receiving a rotational force such that the hanger is positioned to receive the object. The device is capable of digital insertion into the wall. Therefore, the device can be employed to hang the object without the use of a mechanical tool.
