Abstract
There is disclosed a hanging device for being secured to a brick. The device has an elongated member extending between a first end and a second end. The elongated member has a resiliently deformable section. The elongated member and the resiliently deformable section form a monolithic structure. A retaining structure is disposed on the elongated member between the first and second ends. Gripping members are each located at a respective one of the first and second ends of the elongated member and extend from the elongated member. The gripping members define abutting surfaces configured for contacting opposed sides of the brick. The abutting surfaces face each other and define a brick receiving space therebetween. A height of the brick receiving space is variable upon deformation of the resiliently deformable section. A method of supporting an object is also disclosed.
