HANGER.
Application filed December 14, 1925. Serial No. 75,447.
This invention relates to hangers more particularly adapted for hanging pictures, mirrors, etc., on wood or plaster walls. An object of the invention is to rovide a hanger of the class referred to- \vhic 1 will not deface the walls and which is so constructed that when a nail is driven home through the hanger and in the wall, the nail and the hanger become intimately bound together as practically one structure for supporting pictures, mirrors, or the like, securely on the wall.
The improved hanger having the above and other objects in view, consists of certain features of construction and combinations of arts to be hereinafter described and then claimed, with a reference to the accompanying drawings illustrating one embodiment of the invention in which:
Fig. 1 is a sectional side elevation of the improved hanger showing a nail almost driven home;
Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the same hanger with the nail driven home; and
Fig. 3 is a perspective View of thehanger.
Referring tothe drawings. the improved hanger is composed of a strip of bendable sheet metal, the strip having been bent up to provide a back portion 5 an upturned hook 6 and a loop 7. The loop 7 is preferably formed by bending the upper portion of the strip of metal forwardly to provide a horizontal part 8, the metal then being bent downwardly to provide a short vertical part 9, and finally the strip is bent inwardly towards theback portion 5 to provide an inclined part 10. It is obvious that the loop just described may be made in other ways, the object being to provide a loop which is so formed that a hole 11 may be made in one part of the loo-p and a. hole 12 in another part. As shown, the hole 11 is located in advance of the hole 12 and at a point above the hole 12. A line passing through the i5 holes 11, 12 would be preferably at an angle of approximately to the plane of the back portion 5.
In Figs. 1 and 3 a hanger is shown as having the construction and condition as fur- 0 nished and customary. It will be noted that the terminal of the loop at the lower end of the inclined part 10 is separated from the back portion 5 by a space 13. In other words, the improved hanger of the construc tion shown has a horizontal part 8 extending at right angles to the back portion 5, and the rest of the loopis so bent that the terminal of the part 10 does not touch the back portlon 5.
Inasmuch as the improved hanger is made of bendable metal, preferably sheet metal it will be seen that when a nail 14 is inserted through the holes 11, 12 that said nail is in an inclined position; that when the nail is driven into the wall its head will first come in contact with the loop, and that when the nail is driven home in the wall the condition will be as follows: The part 8 will be bent down horizontally and the terminal of the loop will be forced against the back portion 5 of the hanger, and as the part 8 is deflected, the headed portion of the nail will be bent out of alignment with the main portion of the shank of the nail, as shown in Fig. 2.
By reason of the described bending of the loop when the nail is driven home and thereby exertin pressure on the side of the head portion of the nail, that portion is so bent as to become firmly bbund and held to the loopportion of the ha nger, which insures against the nail coming out of the hanger and also that the hanger remains flush and tight against the supporting wall.
It is obvious that the invention may be carried out with pieces of bendable sheet metal of other than the original strip form described herein.
What I claim as new is:
A hanger composed of a piece of bendable metal, and comprising a. back portion having a hook at its lower end and a hole in its upper end, and an upper loop-portion bent forward over the back portion and toward it and having a free terminal substantially spaced away from the back port-ion so as to be entirely separated therefrom, said loopportion having a hole in advance of the hole in the back portion and the front hole being located above the hole in the back portion to receive a nail in inclined position, whereby when the nail is driven home, to secure the hanger to a support, the loop portion is deflected by the head of the nail, the terminal of the said upper portion brought against the back portion and the nail slightly bent and clinched or bound to the hanger.
