ABSTRACT:
A self adjusting two-piece picture hanger comprising a V-shaped spacer retainer member having angularly aligned through-holes in the respective legs of the V, for angled nail insertion. The second piece is an integral, dual hook member having an extension element, with a nail accommodating aperture. The extension element is adapted to be inserted between the legs of the spacer retainer member and the aperture thereof is brought into internal alignment between the through-holes thereof. At least one spacer element, such as a dimple or bent section, integral with the V-shaped spacer retainer member, keeps the respective legs of the V from compressively engaging the extension element, with insertion of a nail through the aligned through-holes and aperture. The extension element and dual-hook member remain free to pivot on the nail, for gravity induced alignment of the picture, mirror, clock or other item supported by the dual hook member.
