Description

NO. 796,609. PATENTED AUG 8, 1905 w. T. SHUTE.
PICTURE HANGER.
APPLHMJION FILED FEB. 20, 1905.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WILLIAM T. SHUTE, OF GLOUCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS.
PICTURE-HANGER.
To all whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that LWILLIAM T. SHUTE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Gloucester, in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Picture-Hangers, of which the following description,inconnectionwiththe accompanying drawings, is a specification, like numerals on the drawings representing like parts.
This invention relates to a picture-hanger by means of which pictures may be hung from the floor and without the necessity of climbing onto chairs, step-ladders, &c., for the purpose of reaching the molding.
The device comprises a head adapted to be attached to the end of a pole, said head carrying an upwardly-opening supporting-hook in which the picture-hook is adapted to rest and be supported with the nose of the supporting-hook engaging the back side or shank of the picture-hook. The supporting-hook is preferably made of a shape to fit the picture-hook and has a flat supporting-surface, so that the picture-hook is firmly supported thereby. The nose of the supporting-hook is provided with laterally-extending guardfingers which prevent the picture from slipping oif from the supporting-hook.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of my improved hook, showing its method of use. Fig. 2 is a front elevation thereof. Fig. 3 is a perspective view.
The picture-hanger is adapted to be carried by a suitable pole 3, and it is herein shown as comprising a head 4, to which the pole is attached, and a supporting-hook 5, in which the picture-hook 6 to be hung is supported. .The supporting-hook 5 comprises the shank 8 and the nose 7 which form between them an upwardly-opening mouth to receive the picture-hook 6. The shank 8 is secured at its upper end to the extremityof the head 4, as at 12, and the nose 7 of the supporting-hook is shaped to engage and support the shank of the picture-hook, as shown in Fig. 1. The supporting-hook stands out of line with and at one side of the head 4. Extending laterally from the extremity of the nose 7 of the supporting-hook are guard-fingers 9, which absolutely prevent the picture-cord 10 from being disengaged from the supporting-hook.
In using my improved picture-hanger the picture-hook is placed in the supporting-hook,
v Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed February 20, 1905. Serial No. 246,411.
Patented Aug. 8, 1905.
and then the picture-cord is hung over the picture-hook, as shown in Fig. 1, the two guard-fingers 9 coming on the back side of the loop of the picture-cord, and thus preventing the cord from slipping off the loop. The picture and picture-hook 6 may then be raised to place the picture-hook on the molding 11. During this operation the picturehook 6 is firmly supported by the supportinghook 5 because of the fact that the nose 7 of the supporting-hook comes up and engages the back side of the shank of the picture-hook. Since the supporting-hook stands entirely one side of the head 4 and the pole 3, the picturecord 10 and the picture supported thereby hang in a plane one side of the pole, and the latter does not come against the picture-frame to mar the same as would be the case if the supporting-point for the picture-cord was in line with the pole. As the picture-hook is placed over the molding 11 the weight of the picture tends to swing the lower end of the hook inward to bring the shank against the molding. I
If the picture-hook should tend to hang in the position shown in Fig. 1-that is, only partially hooked over the molding-said picture-hook can be readily pushed farther onto the molding, and thus be made to obtain a firm hold by bringing the top end 12 of the picture-hanger against the front side of the picture-l1ook,and thus forcing said hook firmly on the molding. This can be done without withdrawing the picture-hanger from the picture-hook and while said picture-hook is still supported by the picture-hanger. These features make the device one which is absolutely certain in operation.
It will be understood that various changes in the construction may be resorted to without departing from the invention.
Having described my invention, what Iclaim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,
1. In a picture-hanger, an upwardly-opening supporting-hook to receive and support the picture-hook, the nose of the supportinghook extending upwardly sufficiently to engage the back side of the shank of the pic ture-hook, and guard-arms extending laterally from the extremity of the nose of said hook.
