Wall clip

Abstract

A wall clip may be used to mount photographs, certificates and other documents or thin panels of varying thickness to a wall. The wall clip may be a generally L-shaped corner piece or a generally straight edge piece. The wall clip comprises a front wall and a rear wall connected by a side wall, forming a slot between the front and rear walls. The front and rear walls are configured so that, adjacent the side wall, the slot has a first thickness wider than the document to be mounted, and necks down to a second thickness narrower than the document to be mounted and then widens again adjacent the inner edge of the front wall to form an entrance into which the document is inserted. When a document is inserted into the slot, the front wall and/or rear wall flexes away from the other. This creates a spring force biasing the front and rear walls toward each other, thus gripping the inserted document. One or more pins extend from the back side of the rear wall for securing the wall clip to a wall. Alternatively, the back side of the rear wall may comprise an adhesive for securing the wall clip to a wall.
