PICTURE-HANGER.
Specication of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 18, 1919.
Application led December 5, 1918. Serial No. 265,413.
This invention has for its object the pro- -vision of a simple device for hanging plctures which will dispense with the ordinary picture hooks, picture wire and eyelets now used for this purpo A further object of this invention is the provision of a means for hanging a picture perpendicularly and securely against a wall so that same cannot readily be shifted out of lposition.
further object of this invention is thev provision of a device for hanging a picture in which the hanger itself will be invisible and which will exert a minimum amount of wear and tear on the frame and on the wall.
In the drawings,
Figure 1 represents a perspective of the picture hanger with a prong or pin which is to be inserted into the wall in view,
Fig. 2 is a side view of the hanger in which 10 represents the shank or body ofthe fastener, 11 the pin or prong which is to be extended into'the wall, and 13 .the pin or is to go into the frame,
Fig. 3 represents a top view of the hanger,
Fig. 4 a sectional view along the line 4 4,
Fig. 5 is a front view of the frame in position in .the wall with the `picture hanger shown in outline, and
Fig. 6 is a sectional view of the frame, fastener and wall, showing the picture fastener in' position.
The fastener is referably formed of a single oval sheet o metal from which two pins or prongs are struck, said pins being struck up from the metal on opposite sides, the pin 13 being intended to be driven into the frame, the pin 11 into the wall. It will be observed that the pin 13 is struck up at right angles to the plane of the metal plate or shank 10, whereas thepin'11 is preferably struck obliquely from'said 'plane so as to afford a firmer hold upon thenwalL 12 and 14 represent the hollow spaces in said plate left by the formation of the pins 11 and 13 on the surface thereof. It will be observed that the plane of said pins 11 and 13 is perpendicular and not horizontal with reference to the surface of the plate 10, so that when the pinsvll and 13 are driven into the wall and frame respectively, a minimum of resistance is offered by the frame and wall. The operation of afixing a picture to a wall by means of the fastener shown is as follows The pin 13 is first driven into the frame by pressure exerted on opposite sides of the plate 10 with the fingers. The frame 14 is then grasped in the fingers and forcedly driven downwardly into the wall so that any pressure exerted upon the frame will tend to more securely fasten the frame into. the wall. It is obvious that the reverse operation can also be employed for fastening the frame, that is, that the pin 11 may first be obliquely and downwardly thrust into a Wall so that the plate 10 will rest perpendicularly against said wall 'and then they frame may be pushed against the pin 13. For light pictures one fastener may be suficient but for greater security, two or more fasteners may be used on the same frame.
What I claim is 1. A device for fastening a picture frame to a wall, comprising a plate having pins 0n opposite sides thereof, one of said pins being thrust at an angle to said plate into the frame and the other in downwardly and obliquely to be forced into a wall so as to hang the picture perpendicularly against said wall.
2. A picture fastener comprising a plate having pins on opposite sides thereof, and integrally formed therefrom, one of said pins being at right angles to said plate and the other of said pins at an oblique angle to said plate, said pins being arranged 1n planes parallel with each other and the oblique angled pin adapted to engage in a wall and hold the picture perpendicularly thereagainst.
In testimony whereof I hereunto affix -my signature.
- HUGO MOCK.
