  • Patent number: 9668596
    Abstract: A frame hanger including a substantially planar fixed section, wherein a portion of the perimeter of the fixed section defines a substantially linear mounting guide edge. A single arm is rotatably mounted to the fixed section between a fully extended state and a fully retracted state. While in the fully retracted state, no portion of the arm extends beyond the mounting guide edge of the substantially planar fixed section. In a fully extended state, a pointed end of the arm extends beyond the mounting guide edge of the planar fixed section. A barrier prohibits rotation of the arm, when in the fully extended state, greater than a predetermined acute angle relative to the mounting guide edge. The arm and fixed section lie either in a common single plane or two planes substantially parallel to one another. Alternatively, the arm is integral with and non-rotatable relative to the fixed section.

  • Patent number: 9138082
    Abstract: A system for hanging a framed object using a pin hanger including a neck section having a top surface and two outer lateral edges. An intermediate shoulder section having two outer lateral edges extends outward beyond that of the outer lateral edges of the neck section forming substantially planar ledges. An inward tapered section starts from the outer lateral edges of the intermediate shoulder section and terminates in a substantially planar bottom surface that is substantially parallel to the top surface of the neck section. A pin projects from the top surface of the neck section at an angle less than 90 degrees relative to the top surface of the neck section. The pin hanger is releasably secured at any desired location within the track frame section via a set screw received within a hole.

  • Patent number: 8740171
    Abstract: A hanging system having a panel with a front and back surface, wherein an adhesive component is on the front surface, and a pin on the back surface, the pin extends outwardly from the back surface at an angle with respect to the back surface, the angle being between about 50 to 80 degrees, the pin has an outer end, wherein the outer end is pointed so as to allow for a puncturing effect when pressed into a wall material.

  • Publication number: 20140137451
    Abstract: A system for hanging a framed object using a pin hanger including a neck section having a top surface and two outer lateral edges. An intermediate shoulder section baring two outer lateral edges extends outward beyond that of the outer lateral edges of the neck section forming substantially planar ledges. An inward tapered section starts from the outer lateral edges of the intermediate shoulder section and terminates in a substantially planar bottom surface that is substantially parallel to the top surface of the neck section. A pin projects from the top surface of the neck section at an angle less than 90 degrees relative to the top surface of the neck section.
