Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to wall fixtures and, more particularly, to a wall anchor for use in different materials including friable materials, e.g. gypsum.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- There are various wall anchors available on the market, including plastic inserts which are hammered in a hole previously defined in a wall, wherein a fastener, such as a screw, is then engaged in the plastic insert, causing it to expand such that the assembly of the insert and the fastener is set firmly in the wall.
- Toggle bolts also exist, wherein rotation of a bolt causes wings to deploy behind the wall and to ultimately abut the inside of the wall thereby firmly anchoring the bolt to the wall.
- Both these types of anchors necessitate that a hole be previously drilled in the wall. On the other hand, there exists wall anchors defining a pointed cutting end and large threads, which are adapted to, in a single step, be rotatively driven in the wall thereby drilling their own hole in the wall with the large threads of the anchor compacting the gypsum and becoming firmly set therein. These types of anchors must be installed by way of a screwdriver and typically by a power driven screwdriver bit.
- It is therefore an aim of the present invention to provide a novel wall anchor of simple construction and simple installation.
- Therefore, in accordance with the present invention, there is provided a device for mounting to a substantially vertical support, typically to friable walls, comprising a body adapted to be located on a visible side of a substantially vertical support in which said device is to be mounted, and at least one saber tooth extending rearwardly from said body and adapted to be driven into the substantially vertical support for securing said device thereto
- More particularly, said saber tooth is arcuate and is adapted to be arcuately driven into the substantially vertical support.
- Specifically, said saber tooth extends rearwardly and downwardly from an upper portion of said body and is pointed at a rear free end thereof.
- Typically, said saber tooth includes a lower enlarged load bearing surface for bearing against material of the support, and more particularly said enlarged load bearing surface of said saber tooth includes a substantially flat portion.
- Said saber tooth may define an upper transversally curved surface.
- Furthermore, a secondary saber tooth extends rearwardly from a lower portion of said body for insertion into the support before said saber tooth of said upper portion is inserted therein.
- Typically, said secondary saber tooth is arcuate and is pointed at a rear free end thereof.
- For example, a hook member is provided on a front part of said body for suspending items therefrom once said device has been mounted to the vertical support.
- Generally, said body defines a front striking surface located substantially opposite said saber tooth and adapted to be forcibly acted on for inserting said saber tooth in the support.
- Also in accordance with the present invention, there is provided a method for suspending an item to a substantially vertical support, typically to friable walls, comprising the steps of: (a) providing a wall mountable device having a body and at least one main saber tooth extending rearwardly from said body; (b) positioning said main saber tooth against the support; and (c) exerting force on said body for inserting said main saber tooth into the support and thereby securing said device thereto.
- Having thus generally described the nature of the invention, reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings, showing by way of illustration a preferred embodiment thereof, and in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a rear perspective view of a wall mounted hook in accordance with the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a front perspective view of the wall mounted hoot ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 is a left side elevational view of the wall mounted hook ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 4 is a front elevational view of the wall mounted hook ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the wall mounted hook ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 6 is a bottom plan view of the wall mounted hook ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 7 is a rear elevational view of the wall mounted hook ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 8 is a left side elevational view, partly in cross section, showing a first installation step of the wall mounted hook ofFIG. 1 as the latter is being mounted to a wall; -
FIG. 9 is a left side elevational view, partly in cross section, showing a second installation step of the wall mounted hook, which follows the first step shown inFIG. 8 ; and -
FIG. 10 is a left side elevational view, partly in cross section, showing the wall mounted hook ofFIG. 1 in an installed position thereof in the wall, which follows the second step shown inFIG. 9 . - FIGS. 1 to 7 illustrate a one-piece wall mounted hook R in accordance with the present invention, which can be made of various materials. The hook H comprises a
body 10 adapted to be visible when the hook H is mounted to a wall W (see FIGS. 8 to 10), and upper andlower saber teeth - The
body 10 includes a visible, typically decorative,front surface 16 and a planerear surface 18. Therear surface 18 is adapted to extend against a visible side V of the wall W once the hook H has been mounted thereto. Thefront surface 16 is provided, for instance, with ahook member 20 from which an article, e.g. a picture frame, clothes, etc., can be suspended. - The upper and
lower saber teeth pointed tips - The hook R is easily installed as follows. With reference to
FIG. 8 to 10, the hook H is held with one's fingers F (seeFIG. 8 ) and thebody 10 is pressed by hand against the visible side V of the wall W such that thelower saber tooth 14 pierces into the wall W (e.g. through the paper sheet of a gypsum panel forming the wall and slightly through the powder portion thereof) and becomes lodged therein without simultaneously driving theupper saber tooth 12 into the wall W. - Once the
lower saber tooth 14 is in the wall W and with alower end 26 of thebody 10 abutting the wall W, an upper portion of thebody 10, such as a striking surface generally located at a location indicated byreference numeral 28, is pressed by hand or possibly impacted with a hammer M, as illustrated inFIG. 9 , towards the wall W such that it pivots generally about thelower end 26 with theupper saber tooth 12 being arcuately driven into the wall W thereby securely engaging the hook H to the wall W up to the installed position of the hook H illustrated inFIG. 10 . The hammer M will generally have to be used in the case of substantially big hooks H, if wood is encountered in the wall W (such as behind the gypsum panel), and if the hook H is inserted directly into a wood component. - A
bottom surface 30 of theupper saber tooth 12 is enlarged and flat such as to provide a wide load bearing surface between theupper saber tooth 12 and the wall material (e.g. gypsum), thereby providing resistance to the hook H ripping downwards through the wall material, when a load is suspended from thehook member 20 thereof. Atop surface 32 of theupper saber tooth 12 is rounded to facilitate the insertion of theupper saber tooth 12 in the wall material. - The hook H can, for instance, be made of zinc so that it can be die-casted.
- In a variant (not shown) of the hook H, a conventional leveller (i.e. a horizontally elongated and vertically oriented plate defining saw teeth along its lower edge and having elbowed wings at the longitudinal ends thereof that can be nailed to an article, e.g. picture, such that the picture can be mounted to the wall by suspending the leveller attached thereto from a fastener, e.g. nail, previously secured to the wall) is provided at each of its elbowed wings with a rearwardly extending upper saber tooth. A V-shaped member that extends downwardly from the horizontal plate or from the elbowed wings has a lower saber tooth extending rearwardly therefrom. This variant can thus be secured to an article, e.g. a rear surface of a picture, by first pressingly engaging the lower saber tooth in the article, followed by pressingly engaging the upper saber teeth therein. In such a case, the upper and lower saber teeth replace the conventional nails that are inserted through holes defined in the leveller's wings and into the rear of the picture to be hung from the wall.
