Appliance for hanging objects on walls

Claim 1

An applicance for hanging objects, such as pictures, on walls, especially gypsum wall boards, comprising a fixing part insertable in the wall and comprising an extremely thin plate adapted to be driven into the wall with its plane lying substantially horizontally; a suspension part adapted to function as a hook with its plane lying substantially vertically which is accessible from outside the wall and is adapted to receive the object to be suspended, and two tongues, one on each side of said thin plate, each of which tongues are narrower than said plate and are structured to be driven into the wall concurrently with the plate but at an angle which slightly deviates from the angle at which the plate is driven in, said tongues constituting a means for counteracting unintentional extraction of the plate from the wall after the appliance has been fixed thereto, said thin plate and said tongues, in the unactuated state prior to insertion in the wall, forming a small angle with each other, which diverges in the direction of the free ends of the plate and the tongues.
