Securing device
First Claim
1. A securing device for use in securing an object to a supporting surface, and/or for restraining an object relative to a supporting surface, the securing device comprising:
- a base being securable to the supporting surface, the base having a first region near a first end, a second region near an opposite second end, and a loading region to which a resultant force is applied when the object in use is hung from the loading region;
a first sheet-like securing member that pivotally engages the base at or near the first end of the base to form a fulcrum region, wherein the first sheet-like securing member includes an adhesive film for adhering the first sheet-like member to the supporting surface; and
a second securing member affixed to the base in the second region;
wherein at least a portion of the fulcrum region presses against the supporting surface when the securing device is in use and the resultant force is applied to the loading region.

Abstract
The invention provides a securing device for use in securing an object to a supporting surface, and/or for restraining an object relative to a supporting surface. The securing device includes a base (20) having a loading region (28) to which a force is applied by the object. The securing device also includes a first securing member (30) and a second securing member (50) for securing the base to the supporting surface, the base (20) pivotably engaging the first securing member (30) in order for the base to be able to transmit a force to the first securing member substantially without inducing a moment about the first securing member.
