ABSTRACT:
A system of hanging objects and adjusting their vertical position provides verically disposed rods upon which spring biased hanger straps are locked in place against downward vertical movement. Thus, in a picture gallery or the like, frequent manual adjustments and alignments may be made by simply manually moving the hanger straps vertically after overcoming the spring bias. The straps are simply L or J shaped metal straps with a hole in a positioning leg passing over a slightly smaller rod and a parallel strap spring affixed thereto extending over the hole to deflect the spring when on the rod for locking the strap vertically in place by eccentric action of the aperture against the rod until the spring bias is manually overcome for adjustment of the vertical position. The strap has a hanger portion extending downwardly so that the weight of an object, such as a picture mounted thereon more tightly locks the hanger in place.
