         15 . The device of  claim 6  wherein said second end of said body comprises a tip, the wall having a front side and a rear side, said second end being situated on the rear side of the wall, said first end of said body being designed to protrude from the front side of the wall. 
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 15  wherein said tip of said second end of said body contacts the rear side of the wall during said installed position. 
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 1  wherein said body is bent at about forty-five degrees. 
     
     
         18 . The device of  claim 1  further comprising a nut, said nut designed to secure said device to the television during an installed position. 
     
     
         19 . A mounting device comprising a generally cylindrical body, said body being angled to form two opposing ends, said device is designed to mount a television to a wall, the television having a back side, the wall having front and rear sides, a first end of said body being designed to be inserted into an aperture on the back side of the television and a second end being designed to be inserted into an aperture of the wall and situated on the rear side of the wall during an installed position. 
     
     
         20 . The device of  claim 19  wherein angle formed by said opposing ends is from about twenty degrees to about seventy degrees. 
     
     
         21 . The device of  claim 19  wherein said first end is generally perpendicular to the wall during said installed position. 
     
     
         22 . The device of  claim 19  wherein said second end points in a generally downward during said installed position. 
     
     
         23 . The device of  claim 19  wherein at least a portion of said first end of said body comprises grooves. 
     
     
         24 . The device of  claim 19  wherein at least a portion of said second end of said body is generally smooth. 
     
     
         25 . The device of  claim 19  wherein said body has a diameter from about one to about twenty millimeters. 
     
     
         26 . The device of  claim 19  further comprising a nut, said nut designed to secure said device to the television during said installed position.
