2 Claims.
This invention relates to hangers, especially hangers for suspending articles from a vertical wall and more particularly hangers for pictures.
A principal object of this invention is theproduction of a device of the type specified which will afford a convenient and easily manipulated means for adjusting suspended articles so that they will hang level and remain level.
A further object of the invention is the production of a device of the type speciiied which will afford a means for preventing a suspended article from being detached from its hanging means.
A further object of the invention is the production of a hanging means which may be embodied as a part of apicture frame. v
Other objects and advantages will appear as the description of the invention and the particular physical embodiments selected to illustrate the invention progresses and the novel features will be particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In describing the invention in detail, and the particular physical embodiments selected to illustrate the invention, reference will be had to the accompanying drawing and the several views thereon, in which like characters of reference designate like parts throughout the several views, and in which:
Figure l is a front view of a picture and picture frame with a hanger embodying the invention shown thereon; Fig. 2 is a fragmentary cross-sectional view on the plane indicated by the line II-II of Fig. 1, viewed in the direction of the arrows at the ends of the line; Fig. 3 is a fragmentary back view showing the picture hanger of Fig. l somewhat enlarged; Fig. 4 is a fragmentary view of the device as shown by Fig. 3 and showing, in addition, a locking means for preventing the picture hanger from becoming d etached from a hanging nail; Fig. 5 is a rear view of a fragment of picture frame embodying the hanger; Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the device as shown by Fig. 5 on the plane indicated by the line VI-VI viewed in the direction of the arrows at the ends of the line; Fig. 7 is another form of picture hanger embodied directly in a picture frame; Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional View of the device as shown by Fig. 7, on the plane indicated by the line VlII--VIII viewed in the direction of the arrows at the ends of the line.
In the figures, numeral I designates a picture frame of ordinary and usual construction. This picture frame serves as a holder or container for a picture 2 which is protected by a glass 3 and backed up by a backing piece 4. The glass, picture and backing piece rest in a rabbet' 5 in a frame and are held therein by any usual or ordinary means as by nails, as (.V
- Applicants hanger 'I is partly of channel form having lthe legs and 9 across which extends a plate I2 extending beyond the ends of the channel and forming the tabs lll and i l each of which is apertured as at I3 and lll to receive suitable attaching means, such as screws I5 driven into the material of the frame Il. The hereinbefore described constructions are preferred but it is to be understood that the description merely is that of a means for providing a suitable support for what is` the bottom I6 of the channel, that is, a plate. This plate embodies the essence of applicants invention. The plate is formed with a longitudinal slot ILone edge I8, the upper when applied to a picture, being formed with serrations I9 andone end being enlarged, as at 2i), to form an entrance orice.
After the hanger 'I is properly attached to the back of the frame I and after a nail, as 2|, is driven into a wall, as 22, at the proper place, the picture is approached toward the nail 2| and the receiving orifice 20 thereof is passed over the head 23 of the nail 2l and then the frame is moved sideways and one of the serrations rested upon the nail 2|. If the proper serration has been selected, the picture will hang level or balanced, if not, the picture is adjusted sideways until after resting it upon the nail 2l it will hang level or balanced.
It is to be understood that by the term, nail, is designated any device simulating a nail or screw or equivalent device.
Due to the construction of applicants device after the picture is once hung it will not move sideways on its supporting nail 2l because that nail engages in a serration, consequently, the picture not only may be hung level but will remain level even if the building in which it is hung is jarred by passing traflic.
The serrations I9 may be made as ne or as coarse as experience dictates. In some cases they may well take the form of and closely simulate the teeth of an ordinary saw. At other times they may have considerable space between the points and be rounded at the bottoms as shown in Fig. 1. The exact form of the serrations is not critical. They may be made in such form as will serve the purpose.
Any ordinary headed nail may be used to bev driven into the wall 22 but applicant prefers a two headed nail, that is, a nail such as 2l having one head 24 which limits the driving in of the nail and another head 23 to prevent the picture l from becoming detached from the nail.
In order to render it difl'cult for maliciously inclined persons to remove a picture from a hanging nail applicant provides a means which may be used with his invention in the form of a pin 25, or nail head Withdrawal preventer, shown in Fig. 5. This pin 25 will be passed through formed orices 26 and 2l in the legs 9 and 8 of thechannelfand be so positioned thatA it will pass through them in line with' -the 1nail head entering orice 20. After the nail has been entered in the orice 20 and the picture has been moved along to its proper position sideways,

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United states, is;
