ABSTRACT:
A device for hanging frames, for example picture frames, overcomes prior art problems wherein string or wire attached to the frame is easily knocked off a nail on the surface, for example a wall, on which the frame is to be hung. In one aspect this is done by providing a hole with converging edges located so that the nail fits snugly between these converging edges, for example in the upper corner of a triangular hole, due to the weight of the frame. The head of the nail overlaps the converging edges of the hole and is therefore held securely. In another aspect, the device has a surface for supporting the wire or string attached to the frame to be hung and provides a substantial area of contact with the string so as to spread the weight of the frame and thereby reduce wear and tear on the wire or string.
