Three components make up this unique rope-style wall hanging hook in the market: a wall hanging body, a lanyard, and an adjustment buckle. This hook has been improved on the basis of the original hook and uses the patented rope-type wall hanging technology, making it suitable for hanging without lanyards or the item without a specific shape, making up for the fact that the hooks on the market cannot hang items without a lanyard or without a specific shape. This hook can hang items without a lanyard or without a specific shape.

The patented rope-type wall hanging technology is adopted, which greatly enhances its plasticity and applicability. The two ends of the rope are fixed to the other side of the hook, which has an adhesive layer on one side. The adjustment buckle is attached to the rope and slides along it. The rope is divided into an adjusting buckle and a fastening ring. The user can place the necessary things within the fastening ring. The structure is simple. To accommodate different hanging needs and increase convenience, the adjustment buckle slides along the rope to modify the fastening ring and hang objects of various sizes and shapes.

When fastening spherical objects, suspend the rope’s end from the framework as indicated in the illustration, adjust it by sliding the buckle, and then move the base’s fastening ring to the bottom. This creates an angle between the four ropes that are near to one another.

By altering how the rope is used, this product can also directly tie or hook objects. For example, water cups or objects shaped like mushrooms can be tied by cycling the rope through the handle and moving the adjustment buckle.

This product can be extended in many ways. Users can create a hanging table that resembles a swing by positioning two rope-style wall hanging hooks at a specific horizontal distance from one another, sliding the fastening ring into place, and connecting them with a wooden board in the middle. On this table, you can place various items like potted plants, handmade items, books, and other items.
