SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 691,1 14, dated January 14, 1902. l Application tiled November l1, 1901. Serial No. 81,948. (No model.)
To all whom, zit may concern.-
Be it known that l, HENRY C. CLAYTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Marion, in the county of Grant and State of Indiana, have invented a certain new and usefullrnprovement in Hangers, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to hangers for use in suspending and supporting in position for 1o display cards, pictures, drawings, and other `I asin Figs. land 2.
graphic work.
The objects of my invention are to provide a means for posting up and displaying cards, pictures, drawings, illustrative and graphic work, to facilitate the posting up and taking down of such objects of display, and to afford a ready and convenient means of using such cards, pictures, drawings, illustrative and graphic work for the purposes of study and instruction in schools and elsewhere. These objects I attain by means of the postinghanger illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a front View; Fig. 2, a side view; Fig. 3, another side View, and Fig. 4 a view showing the method of using the postinghanger.
Similar letters refer to si mila r parts throughout the several views.
The open loops C and D, the prongs A and F, and the prongs K and L, connected between the loops O and D, constitute the framework of the hanger. The hanger is made from a single piece of spring-wire. That portion ot the wire forming the connected prongs K and L is bent between the loops O and D at B, so as to place them in combination substantially at right angles and perpendicular to each other.' The 'prongs A and F are elongated, so as to cross each other at right angles, substantially as shown in Fig. l. The prong A of the loop D is bent forward at E in the plane of the loop D, substantially as shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 3 is a side view showing loop O in a horizontal plane instead of a Vertical plane, The object in turning the loop C into a horizontal plane is to increase the pressure between prong F and the supporting material A', Fig. 4.
ln Fig. 4, A is a iat sheet of paper-board or stiff cloth or other suitable material to which the hangermay be attached andby which it may be supported in position.
To attach the hanger to its support, the pointed shank A is hookedthrough` the same until suspended by the loop D, as shown in Fig. 4. The prong A is so bent, as shown in Fig. 4, that when it is attached to the supporting material the thickness of the latter tends to push apart the front and rear portions of the hangeigwhereby the elastic quality of the wire is exerted and causes the shank A and the face of the hanger, loop O,\and its prong F to rest against the fiat surface of the supporting material, respectively, with more or less pressure to suit the Vrequirements of the work to be performed. The 'extent of this pressure is regulated by the'size,strength, and elastic quality ot' the wire used, and thus adapted to the particular work intended to be performed. y
To use the hanger, it is first attached and placed in position as above described, and the card, picture, drawing, illustration, or other graphic work intended to beshown or displayed is posted by pushing the edge of the sheet containing the illustration under the loop C and between the prong F, Fig. 4, and the face of the supporting paper-board or other supporting material. One or more of such sheets may be thus inserted, and thus securely held in position for display and for the uses specified. ln the case of large or wide sheets to be displayed one or more hangers may be used.
In the use of this posting-hanger the necessity of posting up such work for the purposes specified by pasting, pinning, or tacking the same is obviated, and the posting of such work for such purposes is greatly facilitated, as by the use of this hanger the sheets of drawings or other graphic work maybe placed, removed, and replaced by others with great facility and speed, resulting in the saving of much time and inconvenience which' would otherwise be lost and occasioned by the ordinary methods now in use. Another advantage that this hanger possesses over others is that it does not perforate, injure, or mar the matter posted and possesses the further advantage ot' being inexpensive and capable ofv constant use.
IOS
graphic works, and I therefore do not claim,
broadly and generally, to be the first inventor of such a device; but
What I do claim as my invention, and desire to secure'by Letters Patent, is
As an improved article of manufacture, the herein described posting-hanger, constructed of a single piece of wire, of suitable elasticity, comprising the U-loop C, with its integral elongated prong F and prong L, the open loop D with its elongated integral penetrating shank A and prong K, said loops having said prongs L and K intermediate between the loops and connected at right angles with each other by the bend B continuous with said prongs, Said open loop D having the elongated integral penetrating shank A bent at E forward and in the plane of its loop D, said shank A and the prong F crossing each other at right angles,psubstantially as shown and described.
2. A posting-hanger, constructed of a single pieceof wire, of suitable elasticity', having two similar, open loops placed in planes substantially at rightangles, with the free prongs of the loops elongated, and crossing each other the free prong of one of the loops being bent forward inithe plane of its loop toward the other prong, and adapted to hook through, and attach, the hanger to any flat sheet of suitable material to support it, and combine the hanger f with such material, whereby the elasticity of the wire may be eX- erted to hold the face of thehanger against the surface of the sheet with sufficient pressure to receive and retain in position any sheets of paper, or other material, which may be inserted in or under the front loop, or face of the hanger, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
3. The combination in a posting-hanger of a wire framework, formed of a single piece of wire of suitable elasticity, together with suitable material to support said framework; said framework having a hook, consisting of the loop D and the penetrating shank A, with its terminal part inclined forward, and adapted to hook through said material, said framework having an integral prong K continuous with loop D, and pendent therefrom, and having at its lower end, and at right angles thereto, the loop C,with its integral elongated prong F; said penetrating prong F, and said shank A, crossing each other at right angles, the inclination of the shank A is forward against thematerial supporting the framework, whereby the elasticity of the wire holds the prong F of the loop C with morel or less pressure, sufcient to retain any sheets of paper, or other material, inserted in or under the loop C, and its prong F, as and for the purposes set forth.
4. The improved wire posting-hanger herein described, composed of a single piece of wire, of suitable elasticity, formed into a pair of open loops, at right angles to each other, and having integral prongs elongated, and crossing each other at right angles, the prong A forming a penetrating shank, and having a bend at E, and its terminal inclined toward the transverse prong F,substantially as shown and described as and for the purposes set forth.
