ABSTRACT:
A hanging device for a hardboard member, such as a hardboard-backed picture, includes pairs of prongs which grip the hardboard, and a saw-tooth structure with which the hanging device can be suspended from a nail or similar article. The prongs of each pair are angled towards each other so that they bite into the hardboard when inserted. The hanging device is preferably formed from an initially flat piece of metal. A first portion of the hanging device includes one or more openings containing the prongs and a second portion defines an opening having the sawtooth structure. In an alternative embodiment, the second portion also includes prongs, and in this embodiment, there are three sets of prongs for engaging the hardboard. After the hanging device has been driven into the hardboard, the second portion is bent away from the hardboard, so that the hanging device can be suspended from a nail or picture hanger affixed to a wall. The sawtooth structure can be combined with a plurality of protrusions which permit the hanging device to be suspended from either a nail or a conventional picture hanger, without modification.
