7 PICTURE HANGER No. 571,698. Patented Nov. 17, 1896.
UNITED STATES PATENT @riucn.
AROHIBALD SIDDALL, OF BONDI, NElV SOUTH ALES.
PICTURE-HANGER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 571,698, dated November 17, 1896.
Application filed December 19,1895- Serial No. 572,628. (No model-i Patented in New South Wales February '7, 1894, No. 4,867, and in England March 19, 1894,11'0. 5,701.
To all whom it nary cancer/1 Be it known that I, ARCHIBALD SIDDALL, banleclerk, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, residing at Bondi, near Sydney, in the British Colony of New South Wales, have invented a new and useful Improved Picture- .liangcr, for which I have obtained letters Patent of New South ales, No. 4,867, dated February 7, 1894, and Letters Patent of Great Britain, No. 5,701, dated March 19, 1894,) of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in hangers for supporting or suspending mirrors, pictures, and other objects, and has for its object to provide a novel means whereby pictures, mirrors, &c., of various sizes may be quickly, easily, and securely hung or supported from a peg or nail and be readily rcmoved therefrom, and whereby the angle or inclination of the picture or mirror may be adj usted.
To this end the invention consists in the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a rear elevation, and Fig. 2 is a side elevation, of a picture, showing the improved hanger in central section.
In the said drawings the reference-letter A designates a stay or guide piece secured at one end to the frame of the picture, mirror, or other object to be hung, preferably by a screw or screws A". It may, however, have a hinge connection if desired. This stay is provided with guides, shown in the drawings in the form of loops A, and supplemental guides in the form. of side grooves A formed by turning over the metal of the stay, as at A The form of guide shown in the drawings is the preferred construction. It is evident, however, that other suitable guides may be provided without departing from my invcntion.
The stay or guide piece A is provided with a series of holes 1 which may be of a circular configuration or in the form of akeyholeslot, both forms being illustrated in the drawings. It is not essential that the opening be of the form illustrated, as other forms may be employed within the scope of my invention. The holes A are adapted to take over a suspending peg or nail T), as illustrated in the drawings.
The letter l3 designates an elastic stay or strip secured at one end to the frame of the picture or mirror and provided with a series of holes 13 which are also adapted to take over the suspending peg or nail D.
It will be seen from the drawings that when a picture is suspended from the nail D the latter passes through one of the holes A of the guide-piece A, and through such one of the holes B of the series formed in the clastic stay or strip B, as may be required for the desired adjustment of the angleof the picture or mirror.
The elastic strip B is shown passing through the guide-loops A and into the guide-grooves A but as before stated, other suitable forms of guides may be provided for the reception of the end of said strip.
It will be evident that the weight of the picture or mirror will cause the edges of the holes formed in the guide or stay piece A and the flexible strip B to b ind close upon the nail or peg D in opposite directions, and thus securely support the picture, mirror, or other article suspended. hen the keyhole-slot form of hole A is employed, the nail or peg D is received in the smaller end of said slot.
By my invention the angle of adjustment of the picture or mirror maybe readily regulated, according as one or the other of the holes in the series B may be passed over the nail or peg.
It is obvious that the hanger instead of being used across the elevation of the picture or mirror may be secured upon cross-bars running from side to side of the frame thereof.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is- The herein-described. picturehanger consisting' of a stay adapted to be secured to the frame of the picture and provided with a series of holes and guide-loops, and an elastic strip adapted to be secured to the pictureframe opposite the stay and having a series of holes and adapted to take Within the loop of said stay with one of its series of holes in register with one of the holes in said stay,
substantially as described and shown.
AROHIBALD SIDDALL.
