ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (10) for positioning hanging objects (2) on a wall has a base member (12), a pair of spaced-apart support arms (18), each having an upper end (20), extending from the base member. At the upper end of each support arm is a line receiver (30) for releasably engaging a line (4) extending from a frame (6) of the object. To enable the individual to place a mark on the wall for the location of a hanger to support the object, the line receiver may have an opening (34) extending therethrough. A telescoping height gauge (36) is mounted to the base member to locate a top edge (8) of the frame with respect to the line suspended front the line receivers. To assist in placing the line receivers in a horizontal relationship on the wall, the apparatus has a level indicator (40). A handle (42) extends from the base member. To add additional strength to the apparatus, a brace (24) can be extended between each support arm and the base member. Also, the support arms can be pivotally mounted to the base member.
