Heavy-Duty Plastic Picture Hanger Having Dual-Hooks And Hook-Above-Nail Arrangements

Abstract

Present invention discloses a heavy-duty plastic hanger that has both dual-hooks and hook-above-nail arrangements, and offers a 50 lb. or 70 lb. weight load capacity with two or three 3d penny size finish nails anchoring the hanger onto drywall at 15 degree incline angle.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 ). A wall hanger for hanging a metal wire of a picture frame or the like, which comprises of a base plate, and a pair of identical first and second lateral projectiles integrally connected to said base plate, wherein:
 said base plate is divided into a left, central and right rectangular sections, in which, said left section has a height, width or surface area identical to that of said right section, but smaller than that of said central section, and said central section is divided into an upper and lower portions above and below said height of said left or right section respectively,   said first and second lateral projectiles are integrally connected to front surfaces of said left and right sections of said base plate respectively,   said first or second lateral projectile is integrally connected to said left or right section of said base plate to form a hanger body that comprises of a lower body, a transition body projecting upwardly and forwardly from said lower body, and an upper body projecting upwardly from the front portion of said transition body,   said lower body has a bottom edge, a vertical rear surface emerging from said bottom edge, a bottom surface, and a substantially vertical front surface emerging from said bottom surface,   said transition body has a vertical rear surface flush to said vertical rear surface of said lower body, an inclined open top surface sloping upwardly and forwardly from said rear surface, an inclined bottom surface sloping upwardly and forwardly from said front surface of said lower body, a substantially vertical front surface emerging from said bottom surface, and an inclined nail hole penetrating across an upper portion of said transition body from said front surface to said rear surface, in which, said inclined nail hole has a about 15 degree incline angle identical to that of said open top surface of said transition body, and said inclined nail hole has a nail hole exit located immediately below said open top surface of said transition body,   said upper body has a top surface, a lower vertical rear surface emerging from said open top surface of said transition body, an upper inclined rear surface sloping upwardly and forwardly from said lower vertical rear surface, and a substantially vertical front surface flush to said front surface of said transition body,   said upper body forms a front leg of an U hook, said open top surface of said transition body forms an internal side of bottom closed end of said U hook, and said upper portion of said central section of said base plate forms a common rear leg of said U hooks,   said open top surface of said transition body has a lateral width determined by a horizontal distance between said rear surfaces of said upper and transition bodies, said hanger body has an overall width determined by the greatest lateral thickness in said transition body, and ratio of “said lateral width of said open top surface of said transition body” to “said overall width of said hanger body” is about 50%,   said upper body has a height equal to or greater than 200% of said lateral width of said open top surface of said transition body, and a lateral width at the juncture of said upper and transition bodies is about equal to said lateral width of said open top surface of said transition body,   said bottom surface of said lower body has the smallest lateral thickness in said lower body, that is equal to or greater than said lateral width of said open top surface of said transition body,   said transition body below said nail hole envelopes a circular boundary around said nail hole exit, and said circular boundary has a radius equal to or greater than 160% of said lateral width of said open top surface of said transition body,   said front portion of said transition body has a vertical wall thickness below nail hole that is equal to or greater than said lateral width of said open top surface of said transition body,   said nail hole exit is at a predetermined height above said bottom edge of said lower body, and ratio of “said predetermined height of said nail hole exit” to “said lateral width of said open top surface of said transition body” is equal to or greater than 530%,   said base plate has an indent located at a top surface of said upper portion of said base plate that serves as a visible marking of the vertical centerline of said base plate, said lower portion of said base plate has a plate thickness slightly greater than that of said upper portion of said base plate, and said lower portion of said base plate has an inclined top surface emerging outwardly and downwardly from the front surface of said upper portion of said base plate, which serves as a visible marking of the elevation of said open top surface of said transition body where said metal wire of said picture frame is loaded upon.   
     
     
         2 ). The wall hanger according to  claim 1 , in which, a third lateral projectile is integrally connected to said lower portion of said central section of said base plate along said vertical centerline of said base plate, said third lateral projectile has an inclined nail hole with an incline angle identical to that of said first or second lateral projectile, and said inclined nail hole penetrates across said third lateral projectile and continuously penetrates across said base plate. 
     
     
         3 ). The wall hanger according to  claim 1 , in which, said bottom surface of said lower body is a horizontal bottom surface. 
     
     
         4 ). The wall hanger according to  claim 1 , in which, said bottom surface of said lower body is an inclined bottom surface sloping upwardly and forwardly from said bottom edge of said lower body. 
     
     
         5 ). The wall hanger according to  claim 2 , in which, said third lateral projectile has a horizontal bottom surface. 
     
     
         6 ). The wall hanger according to  claim 2 , in which, said third lateral projectile has an inclined bottom surface sloping upwardly and forwardly from the bottom edge of said third lateral projectile.
