Brick clip-on hanger

A fastening device to be mounted on a brick wall for supporting articles and the like therefrom, the device comprising a unitary resilient member which includes:

• a central generally coplanar part having one side adapted to bear against and overlap one side of a brick, and an opposite side having supporting means;
• an upper bent part which extends in a direction away from said opposite side through an angle, as seen in side view, of at least 135.degree. relative to said coplanar part and which has a plurality of penetrating means extending therefrom at said angle which are adapted to engage the top edge of a brick for retaining the device in place on the brick;
• and a lower spring part extending inwardly relative to said coplanar part on the same side of said coplanar part as said upper part and which is spaced below said upper part a distance slightly less than the thickness of the brick to which the device is to be mounted, said lower spring part having a U-shaped configuration with wing portions extending therefrom which are adapted to bear against the bottom edge of the brick, said wing portions inclined outwardly and upwardly from both ends of said lower spring part, said lower spring part adapted to bear against the lower edge of said brick whereby it resiliently urges said penetrating means downwardly into firm engagement with the top edge of the brick.
