Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wall hanging device for use in hanging wall-supported objects, such as pictures, mirrors, paintings, and the like. More particularly, the invention relates to a device for hanging such objects quickly, efficiently, and in level or other desired orientation.
  • picture is used generally to include any object required to be hung or mounted on a wall or other substantially vertical surface, such as a painting, photograph, clock, plate, mobile phone, calculator or the like.
  • US Patent 2, 530, 892 discloses a picture hanger which consists of two components - one securable to a wall, the other to a picture frame - including coplanar members having interfitting arcuate contact faces in one plane only and with limited rotational ability and limited frictional engagement between the two components.
  • German Patent Publication DE 3632819A (Biener) discloses a two component picture hanger comprising a tapered lug on one component which fits into a corresponding receiving frame on the other component. Whilst the lug and the receiving frame are interfitting, there is no rotational ability to allow adjustment of one of the components relative to the other.
  • French Patent Publication FR 2422369A discloses a tapered interfitting two component picture hanger, which again has no rotational ability to allow adjustment of one of the two components relative to the other to facilitate subsequent ease of levelling the picture after it has been mounted on the wall.
  • US Patent 4, 340, 195 discloses a picture hanger having two pieces engageable and slidable with respect to each other, but with no rotational adjustment possible.
  • Australian Petty Patent AU 718053 discloses a two-part picture hanging device, one part for attachment to a wall, and a second part for attachment to a picture or other object to be mounted on the wall, the first and second parts including co-planar members having interfitting arcuate contact faces in each of two axially spaced apart parallel planes, allowing limited rotational adjustment - left or right - of one of said parts (and of the attached picture) relative to the other part, and relative to the wall.
  • the degree or extent of rotation is limited to no more than about 90° (and in practical terms no more than about 70°) left or right.
  • the hanging of a picture generally involves a person using his hands to support a picture on a wall to check the desired picture position, and placing a pencil mark or the like on a wall to indicate the desired position. Then a hook position is estimated at which a hook can be mounted which will support the picture wire loosely strung across the back of the picture, so that the picture will lie at, or close to, the desired picture position. Next a nail or screw, or a hook device comprising a hook and fastener such as a nail or staple, is mounted on the wall as by hammering the fastener to the wall. Finally the picture is placed near the wall and manipulated so that the picture wire moves down and engages the hook device.
  • a further problem is that the pictures do not always lie at the desired position due to the difficulty in estimating the effect of the picture wire bending, and the cantilevering of the picture as it stands out form the wall at the top edge.
  • Pictures are commonly hung to the wall by means of a cord, wire or the like strung from across the back of the picture between fastener eyes on opposites sides of the picture frame, the cord or wire being suspended on one or more picture hooks embedded in a wall. Difficulty may be experienced in attaching a cord or wire to the back of the picture, particularly in a neat, unobtrusive and secure manner, and difficulty may also be encountered by moving the cord or wire along the hook.
  • a picture hanging device which requires only a single positioning of the picture to hang it, would be useful, especially where a large number of pictures are to be hung and where the picture hanging expertise or skills of the user are limited. For hanging other objects, a greater capability for rotation of the hanging device relative to the wall would be highly desirable.
  • a two-part or two component wall hanging device comprising a first part adapted for attachment to a wall, and a second part adapted for attachment to a picture or object to be mounted on the wall, said first and seconds parts including coplanar members having interfitting arcuate contact faces in each of the two axially spaced apart parallel planes allowing adjustment of one of said parts relative to the other of said parts about a common horizontal axis of the interfitting arcuate contact faces in each of the two planes.
  • a two-part or two component wall hanging device comprising a first part adapted for attachment to a wall, and a second part adapted for attachment to a picture or object to be mounted on the wall, said first and seconds parts including coplanar members having interfitting arcuate contact faces in each of the two axially spaced apart parallel planes allowing adjustment of one of said parts relative to the other of said parts about a common horizontal axis of the interfitting arcuate contact faces in each of the two planes, characterised in that the coplanar member of the second part is a circular disc which comprises one of the arcuate contact faces of the second part which co-operates with one of the interfitting contact faces of the first part, allowing for a full 360° rotation of the disc of the second part (and of the attached picture or object) relative to its mterfitting arcuate contact face on the first part, which is affixed to the wall.
  • the first part adapted for attachment to the wall includes a front cover plate forward of the coplanar member of the first part, and most preferably includes both front and rear cover plates for the coplanar member, wherein the rear cover plate is adapted for attachment to the wall.
  • the underlying wall surface to which the first part is attached may serve the same function as the rear cover plate.
  • a receiving space or pocket is formed between the front and rear cover plates of the first part, having an opening to said receiving space or pocket along at least the nominal upper edge of the first part.
  • the second part adapted for attachment to the picture or object also includes a rear plate spaced axially from the disc, wherein the rear plate is adapted for attachment to the rear surface of the picture or other object to be mounted on the wall, whereby when said first part and said seconds part are mated or conjoined together, an arcuate portion of the disc of the second part is received and housed for rotation within the pocket of the first part, to thereby secure the picture to the wall.
  • the first and second parts include coplanar members having interfitting arcuate faces in each of two axially spaced apart parallel planes, allowing adjustment of one of the said parts relative to the other of said parts about a common horizontal axis of the interfitting arcuate contact faces in each of the two planes.
  • the horizontal axes are concentric for the contact faces in both planes which provides for smooth rotational adjustment to either side of the nominal vertical axis, and through a full 360° rotation if required.
  • a two-part or two component wall hanging device comprising a first part adapted for attachment to a wall, and a second part adapted for attachment to a picture or object to be mounted on the wall, said first and seconds parts including coplanar members having interfitting arcuate contact faces in each of the two axially spaced apart parallel planes allowing adjustment of one of said parts relative to the other of said parts about a common horizontal axis of the interfitting arcuate contact faces in each of the two planes, and wherein said first and second parts are identical and interchangeable.
  • the first and second parts include coplanar members having interfitting arcuate faces in each of two axially spaced apart parallel planes, allowing adjustment of one of the said parts relative to the other of said parts about a common horizontal axis of the interfitting arcuate contact faces in each of the two planes.
  • the horizontal axes are concentric for the contact faces in both planes which provides for smooth rotational adjustment to either side of the nominal vertical axis.
