A bracket for hanging a picture frame on a supporting structure. The bracket is a one-piece member formed of plastic having a pair of legs projecting perpendicularly from a bottom surface of a base and extending at right angles with respect to each other. The legs are spaced from a peripheral edge of the base forming a V-shaped planar portion between the edge and legs. A reinforcing member extends between the pair of legs and an attachment pin mounted in the reinforcing member extends outwardly beyond a top surface of the base. A pair of securement pins in the frame legs are driven into the frame to secure the bracket in a right angle corner of the frame. A pair of attachment pins is pressed into the supporting structure to suspend the frame therefrom after two of the brackets are secured in upper right hand corners of the frame.

A hanging bracket for hanging a picture frame having at least two right angled corners on a supporting structure. The bracket is a one-piece member formed of plastic having a planar base terminating with a beveled edge formed by two straight sections and an intervening arcuate section. A V-shaped column is spaced from the beveled edge by a V-shaped planar portion of the base and extends perpendicularly from the base terminating in a V-shaped top edge with two straight legs joined at a rounded corner. A pin is embedded in the rounded corner and extends outwardly beyond the straight legs of the column. The base is inserted between the back of a canvas picture and the two adjacent frame members at each corner of the picture frame with the projecting pins being pressed into the support structure to suspend the picture frame therefrom.

A frame hanger including a substantially planar fixed section, wherein a portion of the perimeter of the fixed section defines a substantially linear mounting guide edge. A single arm is rotatably mounted to the fixed section between a fully extended state and a fully retracted state. While in the fully retracted state, no portion of the arm extends beyond the mounting guide edge of the substantially planar fixed section. In a fully extended state, a pointed end of the arm extends beyond the mounting guide edge of the planar fixed section. A barrier prohibits rotation of the arm, when in the fully extended state, greater than a predetermined acute angle relative to the mounting guide edge. The arm and fixed section lie either in a common single plane or two planes substantially parallel to one another. Alternatively, the arm is integral with and non-rotatable relative to the fixed section.

An anchor assembly for anchoring an object on a wall includes a first anchor component and second anchor component, each anchor component pivotable relative to the assembly and having a back side and a front side, and each anchor component having at least one curved wall penetrating retainer extending therefrom. The anchor assembly has an install orientation in the wall in which the wall penetrating retainer of each anchor component is inserted within the wall for a jaw-type grip of the wall.

A decorative object and a method of hanging the same on a support surface without tools. The object includes a body having a front wall and a rear wall and a hanging member for mounting the object on the support surface is provided, where the hanging member is integral with the rear wall. The hanging member comprises a body having a shaft and a tip. The rear wall of the object is molded and the shaft and tip are molded as part of the rear wall. In other instances, the hanging member includes a base and the base is positioned to be enveloped by molding material when the rear wall is fabricated. In other instances, the base is snap-fittingly installed into a recessed region of the rear wall and is able to be pivoted between a use position and a non-use position.
