ABSTRACT:
A plate hanger has a single spring to connect two plate-gripping members. The plate-gripping members may be formed identically to one another. Each plate-gripping member is formed of wire, the wire having a coating which, first, allows the wire to be formed; second, increases the frictional gripping capability of each plate-gripping member; and third, prevents the plate-gripping members from scratching either a wall surface or the plate which is held. Each plate-gripping member is formed generally in the shape of a "W", the ends of the "W" terminating in hooked portions so as to grip an edge of a plate. The middle of the "W"-shaped plate-gripping member is formed as a wire loop for securing one spring end, as well as a threequarter loop which connects the two "V"-shaped portions of the "W"-shaped wire plate-gripping member. In use, a plate edge is received into curved-in end portions of one plate-gripping member, the other plate-gripping member is then placed along an opposite plate edge. The spring is attached to both plate-gripping members so that the spring resiliently urges the two plate-gripping members toward one another. The plate hanger may then be secured to a wall by passing the second, nearly complete, loop portion over a nail, projection, or other type of wall hanger.
