Abstract: A picture hanging tool comprises a main body having a flange adapted to overlie the upper edge of a picture frame and a slide which is adjustable relative to the main body. The slide may be secured in any selected one of a number of different positions relative to the main body member and has at one end thereof a projecting coupling carrying a marker which may be pressed lightly against the wall on which a picture is to be hung for the purpose of marking the place at which a picture support should be fixed to the wall. The projecting coupling also includes retainers for accommodating picture hangers, and such projection coupling is adjustable to enable the retainers to face a selected one of different positions.

Abstract: The “Hang It E-Z” is the physical expression of a mental idea to make it almost foolproof for the average person to locate a correct nail location to hang a picture. A person may measure the location of the hanging wire of a picture with the “Hang It E-Z” and move it to any location on the wall. When the desired location is found, a simple tap of the pointer locates the nail location.
