The fixing device comprises a body adapted to be secured directly onto a brittle wall or secured to the brittle wall with a member to be attached to the wall interposed therebetween. The body is formed with at least two guide holes passing therethrough from the top to the bottom thereof each for receiving therein a fixing member such as a set screw or a nail so that it is driven into the wall to thereby fixedly secure the body onto the wall. The guide holes are oriented in such an inclinded direction with respect to the normal to the wall that the fixing members do not intersect with each other and do not extend in parallel to each other when they are inserted into the body and driven into the wall, thereby permitting the body to be securely fixed to the wall. An engaging member having integrally formed therewith a supportng portion such as a hook or a hanger may be detachably engaged over the body. Alternatively, the body itself may be integrally formed with a supporting portion such as a hook, a hanger and a ring.

Fixing device comprising:
Fixing device comprising a body adapted to be secured directly onto a brittle wall or adapted to be secured to said wall with another member interposed between said body and said wall, said body having a central axis and at least three guide holes formed therein, said guide holes being arranged at at least substantially equal angular spacing from each other around said central axis of said body, the opening of each one of said guide holes at the top of said body being located at a position remote from said central axis, while the opening at the bottom of each one of said guide holes is located at a position adjacent to said central axis, said guide holes being oriented in angular symmetry around said central axis of said body to each other with each guide hole approaching nearer said central axis from the upper end to the lower end thereof but not intersect each other even at the extension thereof, while the rotational phase at portions of each guide hole being shifted symmetrically around said central axis relative to each other from the upper end to the lower end thereof so that, in use, fixing members such as nails and set screws inserted into corresponding guide holes and driven into said wall to secure said body onto said wall do not intersect with each other and do not extend in parallel to each other.
Fixing device comprising a body adapted to be secured directly onto a brittle wall or adapted to be secured to said wall with another member interposed between said body and said wall, said body having a central axis and at least three guide holes formed therein, said guide holes being arranged at at least substantially equal angular spacing from each other around said central axis of said body, the opening of each one of said guide holes at the top of said body being located at a position remote from said central axis, while the opening at the bottom of each one of said guide holes is located at a position adjacent to said central axis, said guide holes being arranged so as not to intersect with said central axis, said opening at the top and said opening at the bottom of each guide hole being angularly shifted relative to each other around said central axis so that, in use, fixing members such as nails or set screws inserted into corresponding guide holes and driven into said wall to secure said body onto said wall do not intersect with each other and do not extend in parallel to each other,
Fixing device comprising a body adapted to be secured directly onto a brittle wall and an engaging member which engages with said body, said body being formed with at least two pairs of guide holes passing therethrough from the top to the bottom thereof each for receiving therein a fixing member such as a set screw or a nail so that, in use, said fixing member is driven into said wall to thereby firmly secure said body to said wall, said body having a pair of parallel side surfaces, each one of said guide holes in each pair being located adjacent to a corresponding one of said pair of parallel side surfaces, one of said guide holes in each pair being inclined at an angle with respect to the normal to said wall in parallel to one of said side surfaces, while the other guide hole in each pair is located along the other side surface and is inclined at said angle with respect to the normal to said wall in the direction opposite to the direction of the inclination of said one of said guide holes in parallel to said other side surface, the projection of said guide holes in each pair onto a plane parallel to said side surfaces intersecting each other at a position adjacent to the bottom of said body, said pair of side surfaces being formed with engaging means such as projections and grooves, said engaging member being formed in its inner side walls with mating engaging means for slidably engaging with said engaging means formed in said side surfaces of said body.
Fixing device comprising a body adapted to be secured directly onto a brittle wall and an engaging member which engages with said body, said body being formed with guide holes passing therethrough from the top to the bottom thereof each for receiving therein a fixing member such as a set screw or a nail so that, in use, said fixing member is driven into said wall to thereby firmly secure said body to said wall, said body being of a cylindrical shape, said guide holes forming a plurality of pairs, one of said guide holes in each pair extending at an angle to the normal to said wall, while the other guide hole in each pair extends at said angle to the normal to said wall but in the opposite direction to said one of said guide holes in each pair, the planes perpendicular to said wall and including said guide holes in each pair, respectively, being in parallel to each other, said guide holes in each pair coming closest to each other at positions near the bottom of said body, said pairs of guide holes being arranged around said central axis of said body at an equal angular spacing to each other with respect to said central axis, said body being formed in its periphery with engaging means adapted to engage with said engaging means having in the inner space an engageable member adapted to receive therein said body, thereby permitting said engageable member to be detachably mounted on said body.
