Abstract

See full text

A two-piece fastener means comprising a grid bracket and a concealment member having a hook for use in securing a wall grid to a support surface. In securing the wall grid to a support surface, one or more of the grid brackets are used. These grid brackets are generally U-shaped and are proportioned in size to extend into and through a grid opening formed by two horizontal and two vertical wires. The arms of the grid brackets are formed to lockingly engage with the two adjacent spaced-apart vertical wires. After securing the wall grid to the support surface, a concealment member is releasably secured to the upper one of the two horizontal wires between which the grid bracket extends and extends downwardly between the two arms of the grid bracket. In this fashion, the concealment member conceals the manner in which the grid brackets and, hence, the wall grid is secured to the support surface.
