2 claims: 2 independent, 0 dependent

  1. 1
    What I claim is:— 1. A device for fastening a picture frame to a wall, comprising a plate having pins on opposite sides thereof, one of said pins being thrust at an angle to said plate into 85 the frame and the other pin downwardly and obliquely to be forced into a wall so as to hang the picture perpendicularly against said wall. . . , .
  2. 2
    A picture fastener comprising a plate 90 having pins on opposite sides thereof, and integrally formed therefrom, one of said pins being at right angles to said plate and the other of said pins at an oblique angle to said plate, said pins being arranged in 95 planes parallel with each other and. the oblique angled pin adapted to engage m a wall and hold the picture perpendicularly thereagainst. , , _ In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my 100 * HUGO MOCK. To dll whom it may concern:. . Be it known that I, Hugo Mock, a citizen of the United States, residing at 930 St. Nicholas Ave., New York, in the county of 5 New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Picture-Hangers, of which the following is a specification. This invention has for its object the pro10 vision of a simple device for hanging pictures which will dispense with the ordinary picture hooks, picture wire and eyelets now used for this purpose. . A further object of this invention is the 15 provision of a means for hanging a picture perpendicularly and securely against a wall so that same cannot readily be shifted out of position. . . A further object of this invention is the 20 provision of a device for hanging a picture in which the hanger itself will be invisible and which will exert a minimum amount of wear and tear on the frame and on the wall. In the drawings, . 25 Figure 1 represents a perspective ot the picture hanger with a prong or pin which is to be inserted into the wall in view, Fig. 2 is a side view of the hanger in which 10 represents the shank or body of the 30 fastener, 11 the pin or prong which is to be extended into the wall, and 13 the pm or prong which is to go into the frame, Fig. 3 represents a top view of the hanger, Fig. 4 a sectional view along the line 4—4, 35 Fig. 5 is a front view of the frame in position in the wall with the picture hanger shown in outline, and Fig. 6 is a sectional view of the frame, fastener and wall, showing the picture fas40 tener in’ position. The fastener is preferably formed of a single oval sheet of metal from which two pins or prongs are struck, said pins being struck up from the metal on opposite sides, 45 the pin 13 being intended to be driven into the frame, the pin 11 into the wall. It will be observed that the pin 13 is struck up at right angles to the plane of the metal plate or shank 10, whereas the pin 11 is preferably 50 struck obliquely from said plane so as to afford a firmer hold upon the, wall. 12 and
