[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, with the westernization of life, cloth tapestries in which splendid pictures and designs are folded have been attached to wall surfaces as room decorations. further,
Among young people, posters that enlarge photos of popular talent and cars are widely decorated on the walls of their rooms. As a method of attaching these to a wall surface, a panel having a steel frame in addition to using a thumbtack or a pin has been used. These are simple methods of attaching a lightweight poster and have some advantages, but are unsuitable for hanging a relatively heavy tapestry or the like. Therefore, there is a hanger as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, for example, which can be attached to a wall even if it is relatively heavy such as a tapestry.

[0003] Fig. 6 shows an outer cylindrical portion 31 in which a lower portion of an elongated tube made of aluminum or the like is cut off and the cut portion is bent downward to form a pair of flange edges 31a and 31b.
And a plastic inner cylindrical portion 32 having a smaller diameter and a substantially similar shape. In use, the upper edges of the tapestry A and the like are inserted into the cut-off portion of the inner cylindrical portion 32, and then the flanges 32a and 32b are pushed and fixed inside the flanges 31a and 31b of the outer cylindrical portion 31. FIG. 7 shows a long rail 41 provided with a plurality of clip portions 42 on a long rail 41.
A thin pipe 42a is rotatably inserted into a small gap into which the upper edge of the poster B enters, and the elasticity of the clip piece 42b always presses the pipe 42a toward the clip 42 body. At the time of its use, insert the upper edge of the poster B from the lower side of the pipe 42a and push it in further.
Rotates to reach the upper end of the slit of the clip portion 42, and the poster B is attached.
