Abstract
A hanger to hang an object to a support. The hanger includes an elongated base with a back, a mount that overlaps with a top section of the back, and a hook that overlaps with a bottom section of the back. A tongue is mounted to the back and extends outward from the back towards the hook. Apertures extend through the back, the tongue, and the mount, with the apertures aligned in a straight line. The base comprises a unitary, one-piece construction.

A hanger to hang an object to a support, the hanger comprising:
- an elongated base comprising a back, a mount that overlaps with a top section of the back, and a hook that overlaps with a bottom section of the back, the base comprising an elongated shape with a first distal end at the top section and a second distal end of the bottom section and with the distal ends spaced apart by a gap;
- a tongue mounted to the back and that extends outward from the back towards the hook, the tongue being exposed at the gap;
- apertures that extend through the back, the tongue, and the mount, the apertures aligned in a straight line;
- and
- wherein the base comprises a unitary, one-piece construction.
A hanger to hang an object to a support, the hanger comprising:
- a base comprising:
- a back with a front surface and a back surface, the back surface is flat to contact against the support;
- a hook that extends from the back and is positioned in front of the front surface at a lower section of the back;
- a mount that extends from the back and is positioned in front of the front surface of an upper section of the back;
- a tongue mounted to the front surface of the back and that extends outward from the front surface towards the hook, the tongue comprising an elongated shape that extends outward from the back and is flexible to bend down into the hook when contacted by the object;

A hanger to hang an object to a support, the hanger comprising:
- a base comprising:
- a back configured to contact against the support;
- a hook that overlaps with a bottom section of the back;
- a mount that overlaps with a top section of the back;
- a tongue comprising an elongated shape and is spaced away from each of the hook and the mount, the tongue comprising:
- a first section mounted to the back:
- a second section that extends outward towards the hook;
- a bend positioned at the intersection of the first and second sections, the bend configured for the first and second sections to be aligned at an obtuse angle;
- and
- the tongue extends outward from the back and is flexible to bend down into the hook when contacted by the object;
- apertures that extend through the back, the tongue, and the fastener, the apertures aligned in a straight line and with the one or more apertures in the tongue positioned at the bend and extending into each of the first and second sections;
- each of the tongue and the base constructed from a strip of material with the strip having a thickness measured between front and back surfaces with the thickness of the tongue being smaller than the thickness of the base.
