ABSTRACT:
An improved picture hanger has a plate, a screw, and a moveable adjusting hook. The plate comprises a set of upwardly directed wire supports, and a top and a bottom screw support. The screw extends through the top and bottom screw supports. The adjusting hook has a threaded opening which meshes with the threads. This allows the hook to move up and down along the screw when the screw rotates. This picture hanger may include openings or supports to affix a picture light or a safety wire. The plate is affixed to a desired location on a wall. This location need not be precisely measured for height. A support wire is placed in open portions upwardly directed wire supports. The wire is also placed in an open portion of the downwardly directed adjusting hook. This places the wire into an "M" shape after the picture hanging device is affixed to the wall. If the object to be hung is not at the desired height, the height may be adjusted by turning the screw, which raises or lowers the object. The picture hanger may also provide side-to-side adjustability by moving the horizontal position of one of the upwardly directed wire supports.
