Claim 3

The adhesive hanger as recited in claim 1 wherein said first arm has a first knee connected with said shank and a first end, and said second arm has a second knee connected with said shank and a second end, said first arm being curved such that the portion between said first knee and said first end is in contact with the fold of said first leg and said first knee and said first end are not in contact with the fold of said first leg, and said second arm being curved such that the portion between said second knee and said second end is in contact with the fold of said second leg and said second knee and said second end are not in contact with the fold of said second leg.

Claim 4

The adhesive hanger as recited in claim 1 wherein said wire is bent to form a linear member disposed in said first and second channels in contact with the folds of said first and second legs, said first arm forms a loop with said linear member in said first channel and connects with said shank, and said second arm forms a loop with said linear member in said second channel and connects with said shank.

Claim 5

The adhesive hanger as recited in claim 1 wherein a slot having an arcuate upper edge separates said first and second legs, said slot being shorter than said first and second legs.

Claim 6

An adhesive hanger comprising a bifurcated sheetlike folded upon and bonded to itself to form first and second legs separated by a slot, said first leg having a first channel therethrough, and said second leg having a second channel therethrough and a hook member having a first arm disposed in said first channel and supported by said first leg, and a second arm disposed in said second channel and supported by said second leg and angular hook means having a shank connected with said arms at said slot, the width of said shank being not greater than the width of said slot, said slot being of a sufficient size to receive another angular hook means of another adhesive hanger of the type claimed and said arms extending into said slot to provide a support for said other angular hook means.

Claim 7

The adhesive hanger as recited in claim 6 wherein said slot is shorter than said folded first and second legs and the upper edge of said slot is arcuate.

Claim 8

An adhesive hanger as claimed in claim 6 wherein said backing is disintegratable by rubbing it with water to enable it to be removed from a surface to which it has been applied without damage to said surface and has a coating of a water-soluble adhesive thereon.

Claim 9

The adhesive hanger as recited in claim 8 wherein said first and second arms are linear.

Claim 10

The adhesive hanger as recited in claim 9 wherein said hook member is formed from a single length of wire bent to form said first arm, said second arm and a shank and a hook in said hook means, said shank and said hook being formed of a double thickness of said wire.

Claim 11

The adhesive hanger as recited in claim 8 wherein said first arm has a first knee connecting with said hook means and a first end disposed at the outer edge of said first channel, and said second arm has a second knee connecting with said hook means and a second end disposed at the outer edge of said second channel, said first arm being curved such that said first knee and said first end are not in contact with the fold of said first channel, whereas the portion of said first arm between said first knee and said first end is in contact with the fold of said first channel and said second arm being curved such that said second knee and said second end are not in contact with the fold of said second channel, whereas the portion of said second arm between said second knee and said second end is in contact with the fold of said second channel.

Claim 12

The adhesive hanger as recited in claim 11 wherein said hook member is formed from a single length of wire bent to form said curved first arm, said curved second arm and a shank and a hook in said hook means, said shank and said hook being formed of a douBle thickness of said wire.

Claim 13

The adhesive hanger as recited in claim 5 wherein said support means includes a linear member disposed in contact with the folds in said first channel and second channel, said first arm is connected with said hook means and forms a loop with said linear member in said first channel, and said second arm is connected with said hook means and forms a loop with said linear member in said second channel.

Claim 14

The adhesive hanger as recited in claim 9 wherein said hook member is formed from a single length of wire bent to form said linear member, said first arm, said second arm and a shank and a hook in said hook means, said shank being connected with said first and second arms and said shank and said hook being formed of a double thickness of said wire.
