Hanging device with resiliently deformable section

A hanging device for being secured to a brick, comprising:

• an elongated member extending between a first end and a second end, the elongated member having a resiliently deformable section between the first and second ends, the elongated member and the resiliently deformable section forming a monolithic structure, the resiliently deformable section including two planar springs disposed side by side, the two planar springs lying in a common plane with the elogated member and being deformable in the common plane, one of the two planar springs being a mirror of the other planar spring relative to a central axis of the elongated member, each of the two planar springs defined by a plurality of adjacent and laterally alternating “U”-shaped sections extending between the first and second ends;
• a retaining structure disposed on the elongated member between the first and second ends;
• and
• gripping members each located at a respective one of the first and second ends of the elongated member and extending from the elongated member, the gripping members defining abutting surfaces to contact opposed sides of the brick, the abutting surfaces of the gripping members facing each other and defining a brick receiving space therebetween, a height of the brick receiving space being variable upon deformation of the resiliently deformable section.
