ABSTRACT:
A device for the positioning and hanging of a picture frame or other object upon a wall includes a hanger member, an elongated locator member, and means detachably coupling the upper end of the hanger member to the lower end of the locator member. The hanger member is formed with on or more nail chutes which serve the dual function of suspending the support wire of the picture frame and receiving nails for securing the hanger member to the wall. The hanger member is also provided on its rear surface with a pressure-sensitive adhesive for temporarily mounting the hanger member on the wall. The position of the hanger member is located by hanging the picture frame on the hanger member while the latter is coupled to the locator member, and grasping the projecting locator member above the top edge of the picture frame to move the picture frame to a selected position on the wall. With the frame in its selected position, the hanger member is pressed against the wall, causing it to adhere temporarily at the selected location, after which the picture frame and locator member are removed and the hanger member is affixed permanently to the wall by insertion of nails through the nail chutes, and is precisely located to support the picture frame in its pre-determined selected position.
