PICTURE HANGER FOR USE WITH GYPSUM BOARD AND INSTALLATION TOOL THEREFORE

摘要

A picture hanger (23) for use with gypsum board comprises a strip of steel bent into a V to provide two legs (29, 31). The first leg (29) is arcuate and functions as an anchor upon insertion into the gypsum board. The second leg (31) is straight, with a hook (33) at its terminus for hanging pictures and the like. An installation tool is provided which enables the arcuate anchor leg (29) to be driven into the gypsum board along an arcuate path corresponding to the arcuate anchor leg (29) until the second leg (31) is held firmly against the surface of the gypsum board.
