PICTUREHOOK 0R HANGER. APPLICATION rum/weal. I917.
Patented Feb. 5, 1918.
JOSEPH JBAEITZKY, 0F CLEVELAND, OHIO, ASSIGNOR 0F ONE-HALF T0 JACOB Ta. GOLDMAN, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO.
PICTURE HOOK 0R HANGER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb, this.
- Application filed August 27, 1917. Serial No. 188,367.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSEPH BABITZKY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Picture Hooks or Hangers, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to picture hangers, or hooks designed for the purpose of hanging pictures or similar articles which are ordinarily suspended by cords or wires.
The object of the invention is to produce an improved device which can be cheaply made of sheet metal or the like, and which will engage the cord or picture wire and hold the same firmly and prevent the pictures from tilting after they have been hung.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure l is a side elevation of the device.
Fig. 2 is a rear elevation.
Fig. 3 is a vertical section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4c is a side elevation of a modified form.
Fig. 5 is a rear elevation of Fig. 4:.
The device shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3 is adapted to be hooked over the picture molding, and that shown in Figs. t and 5 is intended to be attached by a nail.
The device consists of a piece of sheet metal which can be stamped in the form of a blank which is then bent or folded to pro duce two parallel vertical sides 3 and 4 at the upper end of which is a hood 5, adapted to engage the picture molding. The bend or connecting part between the two sides 3 and at is indicated at 6, and this curved part is exposed at the front when the hook isv in place.
A slit 7 is formed in the lower end of the device, extending inwardly through the bent portion and inclined downwardly in the curved legs or extensions 8 depending from the sides 3 and l. The slots 7 are tapered to a point as shown, the wide part or mouth being at the bend 6, and the ends of the legs rest against the wall when in place.
In the modified form shown in Figs. 4 and 5 the hooks 5 at the top are omitted, the upper end of the bend being provided with a hole 9 through which a nail 10 may be driven into the wall or support, and the sides 3 and 4: are pressed together near the top, as indicated at 11, and the nail 10 passes through directly under these pressed-in parts, thereby giving a support on or upon the nail close to the wall, so that the weight on the nail is less liable to break the plaster, and the hook becomes fixed in position against the wall when the nail is driven.
When the picture wire is engaged in the slit of the hook it will be caught by the con verging edges and gripped to prevent slipping, and the picture cannot become tilted as with the use of ordinary hooks. As the device can be stamped out of sheet metal and bent in a die press, the hook can be cheaply made.
I claim:
1. A picture hook consisting of a piece of sheet metal folded on a vertical line to form opposite sides, and a slit extending through the bend of the metal and into said sides.
2. A hanger for pictures or the like consistin g of a piece of sheet metal bent to form two opposite sides with the bend at the front, each of said sides being provided at its upper end with a backwardly extending hook, and at the lower end with means to engage a picture wire or the like.
3. A hanger for pictures or the like comprising a piece of sheet metal folded on a vertical line to form opposite sides, each side being provided with a hook at its upper end, and having a slit extending inwardly through the bend and into said sides.
4. A hanger for pictures or the like com prising apiece of sheet metal bent on a ver tical line to form opposite rearwardly extending sides spaced apart, and having a tapered slit extending inwardly through the bend and into said sides.
In testimony whereof, I do affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
JOSEPH BABITZKY.
