Abstract
An article hanging device for books, records or similar articles is disclosed which includes a tab for mounting on the article and a rail for mounting the article on a vertical surface. The tab is provided with a uniquely designed hook means having surfaces which mate with corresponding surfaces on the rail to facilitate quick and easy storage or retrieval of the article. The tab is preferably made of thin gauge high tensile aluminum and the rail is made of plastic. Books or similar articles of all sizes and weights can be displayed economically and decoratively with the device.
Claims14
An article hanging device for removably mounting an article on a vertical surface comprising
- a tab-like sheet having means for securing at least one sheet side to said article, said sheet having a hook means integrally formed therein continuously along an edge thereof, said hook means comprising a protrusion for extending generally parallel to and spaced from said vertical surface, said protrusion having a substantially planar inside portion substantially parallel to said surface terminating into a rounded channel and a convex radius, said convex radius spaced apart opposite said protrusion inside portion to form said hook means, said protrusion inside portion, said convex radius and rounded channel adapted to mate respectively with corresponding surfaces of an elongated rail mounted on said vertical surface and to guide the hook means onto the rail for positive locking of said hook means to said rail so that said article may be mounted by cantilevering said hook means on said rail.
An article hanging device for removably mounting a book or similar device on a vertical surface comprising
- a tab-like sheet of aluminum having an adhesive secured thereto on one side for mounting onto said book or device, said sheet having a hook means integrally formed therein continuously along an egde thereof uncovered by adhesive, said hook means comprising a protrusion for extending generally parallel to and spaced from said vertical surface, said protrusion having a substantially planar inside portion substantially parallel to said surface terminating into a rounded channel and a convex radius, said concave radius spaced apart opposite said protrusion inside portion to form said hook means, said protrusion inside portion, said convex radius and rounded channel adapted to mate respectively with corresponding surfaces of an elongated rail mounted on said vertical surface and to guide the hook means onto the rail for positive locking of said hook means to said rail so that said article may be mounted by cantilevering said hook means on said rail.
An article hanging device assembly for removably mounting an article on a vertical surface comprising in combination
- a tab-like sheet having means for securing at least one sheet side to said article, said sheet having a hook means integrally formed therein continuously along an edge thereof, said hook means comprising a protrusion for extending generally parallel to and spaced from said vertical surface, said protrusion having a substantially planar inside portion substantially parallel to said surface terminating into a rounded channel and a convex radius, said convex radius spaced apart opposite said protrusion inside portion to form said hook means, and
- an elongated rail for mounting on said vertical surface, said rail having a knob with one side of said knob having a concave surface for mating with said convex radius of said hook means and said knob having on the opposite side a substantially flat portion for mating with said hook means protrusion inside portion so that the tab-like sheet inside portion, convex radius and rounded channel are adapted to mate with said rail and to guide the hook means onto the rail for positive locking of said hook means to said rail for mounting said article by cantilevering said hook means on said rail.
