Picture hanging system for stretched artist canvas hung without a frame

摘要

A picture hanging system for stretched artist canvas intended to be hung on a wall without a frame, comprising a frame support means attached to the inside of the wood frame upon which said artist canvas has been stretched, and a specially designed hanger intended to support said picture when it is hung on a wall. Said hanger is attached to a wall by means of a nail passing through holes in said hanger, said nail driven into said wall at an angle. Said hanger has a sloped “ramp” upon which said frame support (and with it the frame to which said frame support is attached) rests when said picture is hung on a wall. When said hanger is attached to a wall, said ramp slopes toward said wall. Said frame support (and with it the frame to which said frame support is attached) will slide by force of gravity toward said wall and said picture will come to rest flush and flat against said wall. The picture hanging system of the present invention functions in such a way that, when a picture for which said picture hanging system has been used to hang said picture on a wall, there is no space at all between said picture and said wall. Said picture hanging system may be manufactured in metal or in plastic, and it may also be adapted for use with objects other than pictures, where it is desired that said objects, when hung on a wall, rest flush and flat against said wall, with no obstruction whatsoever from the hanging hardware.
