Abstract
A wall hanging bracket is provided. The bracket utilizes a single anchor point to connect the bracket to the wall and has a slot spaced apart from and below the anchor point. A hanger such as a curtain rod hanger, picture hanger, or the like may be slideably held in the bracket to connect the hanger to the wall. A wall hanging such as a curtain rod, picture, shelf, and the like may be connected to the hanger which is held in the bracket, and in turn connected to the wall. This system allows wall hangings to be made with a single connection point, in a much more secure and stable manner compared to the prior art.
