ABSTRACT:
A hanging device and method for picture frames or like objects wherein the device comprises a pair of spaced horizontally positionable prongs which are adapted to be secured in accurate horizontal alignment on a vertical supporting surface such as a wall. The prongs extend upwardly and outwardly from the wall and have upwardly extending points and may have downwardly and rearwardly extending cam surfaces so that a variety of different types of frame top moldings or other hanging devices are adapted to be efficiently engaged for supporting the hanging objects in a stable, non-skewing hanging position. By having the tips of the prongs project upwardly above the structure such as a bar by which the prongs are mounted, the object as hung is adapted to be engaged flat against a wall surface. The device is especially well adapted for supporting extruded aluminum picture frames.
