ABSTRACT:
An improved frame support permits an object being hung to be moved up and down, side to side, and/or rotated in any desired orientation and which provides improved security and safety from intentional or accidental removal from the wall. The invention includes a plate having a set of cord supports directed in a first direction towards a top edge of the plate and at least one cord support directed in a second, opposite direction towards a bottom edge of the plate. The support cord is supported by the frame and by the frame support in a unique manner which provides up and down, side to side, and rotational adjustability. The invention also provides increased security for frames supported by the device described herein. In its simplest form, the improved security device according to the present invention may be provided by "locking" the support cord into place on the adjusting hook with a nut. This provides security from removing the picture from the wall, to prevent theft, for example, and to provide added security in case the cord disconnects from one side of the frame. In one version, the support cord is also protected from rubbing against the screw by providing a sheath covering the screw, such as using a spacer or recessed nut. This prevents the cord from fraying or breaking due to the screw "sawing" through the cord over time.
