Picture frame hanger

Abstract

Present invention discloses a new upper-hook-section and lower-anchor-section hanger that overcomes the drawbacks of conventional upper-anchor-section and lower-hook-section hanger of prior art, as well as the drawbacks of upper-hook-section and lower-anchor-section hangers of U.S. Pat. No. 7,222,833 previously issued to author of present invention. Present invention also discloses a new dual-hooks hanger that has upper-hook-sections and lower-anchor-sections. Present invention also discloses a means for preassembling nail within hanger prior to mounting hanger to wall.

1 . A picture frame hanger comprising of a base plate, a lateral projectile integrally connected to said base plate, and a nail for anchoring said picture frame hanger to a wall, wherein:
 said base plate and said lateral projectile form a substantially U-shaped hook that has a top opening end located at the highest elevation of said picture frame hanger for receiving a hanging wire of a picture frame, and a bottom closed end for retaining said hanging wire within an internal side of said bottom closed end;   said lateral projectile is provided with through hole that is located sufficiently below said top opening of said U-shaped hook for receiving said nail and guiding said nail into said wall   
     
     
         2 . A picture frame hanger comprising of:
 a base plate,   a first lateral projectile integrally connected to said base plate adjacent to a first vertical side of said base plate,   a second lateral projectile integrally connected to said base plate adjacent to a second vertical side of said base plate, and   a pair of nails for anchoring said picture frame hanger to a wall,   wherein:   said first and second lateral projectiles are positioned in level at said base plate;   said base plate and said first lateral projectile form a first substantially U-shaped hook that has a top opening end located at the highest elevation of said picture frame hanger for receiving a hanging wire of a picture frame, and a bottom closed end for retaining said hanging wire within an internal side of said bottom closed end;   said base plate and said second lateral projectile form a second substantially U-shaped hook that has a top opening end located at the highest elevation of said picture frame hanger for receiving said hanging wire of said picture frame, and a bottom closed end for retaining said hanging wire within an internal side of said bottom closed end; and   each of said first and second lateral projectiles is provided with a through hole that is located sufficiently below said top opening of said U-shaped hook for receiving said nail and guiding said nail into said wall.   
     
     
         3 . A picture frame hanger comprising of:
 a base plate,   a first lateral projectile integrally connected to said base plate adjacent to a first vertical side of said base plate,   a second lateral projectile integrally connected to said base plate adjacent to a second vertical side of said base plate,   a lateral projectile integrally connected to said base plate adjacent to a central area of said base plate,   three nails for anchoring said picture frame hanger to a wall,   wherein:   said first and second are positioned in level at said base plate;   said base plate and said first lateral projectile form a first substantially U-shaped hook that has a top opening end located at the highest elevation of said picture frame hanger for receiving a hanging wire of a picture frame, and a bottom closed end for retaining said hanging wire within an internal side of said bottom closed end;   said base plate and said second lateral projectile form a second substantially U-shaped hook that has a top opening end located at the highest elevation of said picture frame hanger for receiving said hanging wire of said picture frame, and a bottom closed end for retaining said hanging wire within an internal side of said bottom closed end; and   each of said first, second and third lateral projectiles is provided with a through hole that is located sufficiently below said top opening of said U-shaped hook for receiving said nail and guiding said nail into said wall.   
     
     
         4 - 5 . (canceled) 
     
     
         6 . The picture frame according to  claim 1 , in which, said through hole is an inclined through hole. 
     
     
         7 . (canceled) 
     
     
         8 . The picture frame according to  claim 2 , in which, said through hole is an inclined through hole. 
     
     
         9 . (canceled) 
     
     
         10 . The picture frame according to  claim 3 , in which, said through hole is an inclined through hole. 
     
     
         11 . (canceled) 
     
     
         12 . The picture frame hanger according to  claim 1 , in which, one end of said through hole for exiting said nail from said lateral projectile is located immediately adjacent to said internal side of said bottom closed end of said U-shaped hook. 
     
     
         13 . The picture frame hanger according to  claim 2 , in which, one end of said through hole for exiting said nail from each of said first and second lateral projectiles is located immediately adjacent to said internal side of said bottom closed end of said U-shaped hook. 
     
     
         14 . The picture frame hanger according to  claim 3 , in which, one end of said through hole for exiting said nail from each of said first and second lateral projectiles is located immediately adjacent to said internal side of said bottom closed end of said U-shaped hook.
