Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 of the drawings, a wall fastener 10 according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. The wall fastener 10 is for fastening an object 70 to a wall 90 having a wall surface 91. Broadly, the wall fastener 10 may comprise a fastening body 11, a hanging member 13 and an attaching pin 12.


The fastening body 11 may have a utility surface 15 and an attachment surface 16. The utility surface 15 and the attachment surface 16 may be formed on two opposite sides of the fastening body 11 respectively.


The hanging member 13 may extend from the utility surface 15 of the fastening body 11 for allowing the object 70 to be hung on the hanging member 13.


The attaching pin 12 may extend from the attachment surface 16 of the fastening body 11. The attaching pin 12 may be arranged to detachably penetrate into the wall 90 for detachably attaching the object 70 on the wall 90.


According to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fastening body 11 may be configured from metallic material for ensuring sufficient structural integrity and strength of the wall fastener 10. The fastening body 11 may be configured to have a wide variety of cross sectional shapes so as to satisfy different manufacturing and operational circumstances. As shown in FIG. 1 of the drawings the fastening body 11 may have an enlarged upper portion 111, and a contracted lower portion 112, wherein the attaching pin 12 may extend from the enlarged upper portion 111, while the hanging member 13 may extend from the contracted lower portion 112.


In this first preferred embodiment of the present invention, the wall fastener 10 may comprise a total of two attaching pins 12 extended from the enlarged upper portion 111 of the fastening body 11. The attaching pins 12 may extend from the fastening body 11 at positions at two sides of an imaginary center line of the fastening body 11. A width of the enlarged upper portion 111 may be longer than that of the contracted lower portion 112.


The fastening body 11 may further have a detachment hole 14 formed thereon for allowing a user to detach entire wall fastener 10 through the use of the detachment hole 14. The detachment hole 14 may be formed on the enlarged upper portion 111 of the fastening body 11 at a position between the two attaching pins 12.


As shown in FIG. 1 of the drawings, the enlarged upper portion 111 of the fastening body 11 may have a curved contour wherein the detachment hole 14 and the hanging member 13 may be aligned on the imaginary center line of the fastening body 11. Moreover, the two attaching pins 12 are positioned at two sides of the detachment hole 14 and above the hanging member 13.


Each of the attaching pins 12 has a sharp penetrating tip 121 for penetrating on the wall surface 91. Each of the attaching pins 12 has an angle of inclination of less than 30 degrees. On the other hand, the hanging member 13 may comprise a hanging pin 131 extended from the utility surface 15, and a stopper head 132 formed at a free end of the hanging pin 131. The stopper head 132 may have a diameter larger than that of the hanging pin 131 so as to provide a stopper for the hanging member 13.


It is worth mentioning that the attaching pins 12 may be formed by folding two pre-cut foldable pieces 19 formed on the attachment surfaces 16 respectively towards the wall surface 91. Each of the pre-cut foldable pieces 19 may be configured as having a triangular cross-sectional shape and may an angle of inclination of less than 30 degrees, which form the above-mentioned angle of inclination of the corresponding attaching pin 12.


Moreover, the wall fastener 10 of the present invention may be detachably inserted into a wall surface 91 of a wall 90. The wall 90 may be configured from a wide variety of materials. Examples of the wall 90 may include a drywall or a wooden wall. The wall 90 may also broadly refer to a panel-like structure which have relatively flat surface as the wall surface 91. For example, plastic board may also be included within the meaning of the wall 90 described above.


Since the attaching pins 12 may be formed by folding the pre-cut foldable pieces 19, a thickness of the attaching pins 12 may be identical to a thickness of the fastening body 11. Thus, each of the attaching pins 12 may have a panel-like and flat structure which, when penetrating into the wall surface 91, may cause only minimal damage to the wall surface 91. Thus, the present invention may minimize the damage to the wall surface 91 when being inserted thereto.
