Definitions

  • the present patent application refers to an adjustable picture hook that allows for adjusting the picture horizontally with respect to the position of the nail on the wall.
  • Pictures are normally hung to the wall by means of suitable hooks applied on the back of the frame and provided with an eyelet where the nail is inserted, after driving it onto the wall.
  • Two hooks are often used to provide safe fixing, for example in the case of very large or heavy pictures.
  • a small mistake in identifying the correct position of the metal eyelet may prevent the picture from assuming the correct position spontaneously, that is to say from being perfectly perpendicular with respect to the vertical axis of the nail.
  • a new model of adjustable picture hook has been devised in order to allow for a tolerance margin in the identification of the centre of the picture, incorporating means used to move the picture horizontally with respect to the nail on the wall in order to set off for small mistakes made in identifying the centre of the upper side of the picture.
  • the built-in adjustable means are provided immediately above the upper side of the picture frame, in easily accessible position for the user, who can adjust them without removing the picture from the wall.
  • the adjustable hook of the invention is composed of two plates matched together with the possibility of sliding, with one plate provided with means for fixing to the picture frame and the other plate provided with holes or slots for fixing to the nail on the wall.
  • the plates can slide either manually or with the aid of suitable adjustable means.
  • the plates are provided with suitable holes for mutual matching by means of a pin with eccentric, whose rotation determines the lateral sliding of one plate with respect to the other one.
  • the pin with eccentric is housed and rotates in a hole suitable located on the plate fixed to the wall, while the other plate, that is to say the plate fixed to the picture frame, is provided with a slot in which the eccentric of the pin is engaged and slides.
  • the movement of the eccentric in the slot determines the horizontal sliding of the plate fixed to the picture with respect to the plate fixed to the wall, thus moving the centre of the picture laterally and allowing for bringing the picture onto the vertical axis that passes through the point in which the nail in driven.
  • the plates are matched by means of guides that only allow for mutual horizontal translation.
  • the maximum horizontal adjustment travel is of course equal to the diameter of the circumference described from the centre of the eccentric.
  • the adjustment means are not provided and the hook must be adjusted by fastening the mobile plate to the other plate by means of suitable fastening means after placing the picture in the correct position.
  • the fastening means consist in a screw with horizontal axis that is inserted and slides in an horizontal slot on the plate fixed to the wall, while the other plate, that is to say the plate fixed to the picture, is provided with a threaded hole to engage the fastening screw.
  • the adjustment of the hook of the invention can be carried out in a different way according to different embodiments, by acting on the sliding plates directly or with the aid of suitable adjustment means that determine the mutual sliding of the plates.
  • Figures 1 to 6 shows the version of the hook in which the adjustment means consist in a pin with eccentric
  • the hook of the invention (G1) is composed of a first mobile plate (1), with lower holes (1a) for fixing to the picture frame, and a second fixed plate (2) with upper holes (2a) for fixing to supporting means on the wall. More precisely, the fixed plate (2) is laterally provided with two vertical guides (2b) that are matched with two corresponding vertical guides (1b) on the two sides of the mobile plate (1).
  • the two plates (1 and 2) are connecting by means of a pin (4) that rotates in inside a hole (1c) in the centre of the fixed plate (1) and ends with an enlarged head (4a) next to an eccentric (4b) housed in a suitable slot (1c) on the fixed plate (2).
  • the length of the vertical slot (2c) is such that the eccentric (4b) can make an horizontal travel between the two lateral ends that can be reached during the rotation of the pin (4).
  • the fixed plate (2) has a transversal connection step (5) between the upper half-wing with the hole (2a) and the lower half-wing with the slot (2c) that houses the pin (4).
  • the dimensions of the step (5) are such that the upper half wing is coplanar to the mobile plate (1).
  • the head (4a) of the pin (4) has a crossed configuration (4d) for the screwdriver.
  • Figures 7 to 10 show a second constructive version of the adjustable picture hook of the invention, which is composed of two sliding plates (10 and 20), whose travels are guided by pairs of lateral guides (10b and 20b).
  • This version (G2) is not provided with adjustment means, but only with connection means of the plates (10 and 20) that consist in a fastening screw (40) with horizontal axis that is inserted and slides in an horizontal slot (20c) on the plate (20) fixed to the wall, while the other plate (10), that is to say the plate fixed to the picture, is provided with a threaded hole (10c) to engage the fastening screw (40).
  • the fixed plate (20) of the hook (G2) has a transversal connection step (50) between the upper half-wing (fixed to the wall) and the lower half-wing with the slot (20c).
  • the dimensions of the step (50) are such that the upper half-wing is coplanar to the mobile plate (10).
  • the adjustment screw (40) can be accessed from the front by the user without removing the picture from the wall.
  • the head (40a) of the fastening screw (40) can be accessed frontally, above the upper side of the picture.
  • Figures 11 and 12 show an alternative embodiment of the hook (G1) and (G2), which differs in the fact that the mobile plates (1 and 10) are provided with a hook (1d and 10d) as fixing means to the picture, respectively.
