Abstract: A frame hanger jig apparatus includes generally parallel spaced-apart first and second jig side members (each side member defined by a first end, a second end, and a first edge), and a jig bottom member connecting the jig side members together at the first ends of the jig side members. A first jig support member is attached to the second end of the first jig side member, the first jig support member being essentially orthogonally oriented with respect to the first jig side member. The first jig support member includes a first jig support member portion which extends beyond the first edge of the first jig side member. The first ends of the jig side members are connected to the jig bottom member to allow a spring biased spread between the first and second ends of the jig side members of at least 20 degrees.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a substantially vertical elongated mast and a substantially horizontal elongated boom which is supported by the mast proximate an upper end thereof. The boom can pivot independently about a substantially vertical first axis and a substantially horizontal second axis. The boom has a first end proximate the mast and a distal opposite second end. A gripping element, for gripping by a user of the apparatus while the user is supported thereby, depends from the boom proximate the second end thereof. An elastic biasing member operatively attached to the mast and the boom provides a biasing force to bias the boom toward a rest position and against downward movement of the second end of the mast. The biasing member allows a temporary downward movement of the second end of the boom due to sudden application of weight of a user's body when the user grasps the gripping element.
