Connector for hanging an article like a picture from a wire and a counterpart for securing the connector

摘要

The invention relates to a connector for hanging an article like a picture from a wire, such as a steel wire, in which connector (1) there is a frame (4), an arm (5) and a counterpart (7) jointed to it. In the connector, arm (5) is jointed to the frame (4) by means of a pivot joint (6), so that it is free to rotate against the counterpart (7), when the wire (2) remains between their counter surfaces (11, 12) and the connector thus locks onto the wire (2). The counter surfaces (11, 12) extend for a distance on the wire (2) that is many times its diameter, so that they always settle onto the wire (2) over their greatest length. The invention also relates to a counterpart in the picture for receiving the connector.
