Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
A device for hanging objects from a wall comprising a centrally-apertured, generally flat first part and a relatively elongated, flat second part, said second part having one end folded on itself about a discrete radius of curvature to provide a looped end portion, said first part being mounted within said looped end, said looped end portion being equipped with integral, laterally extending integral tabs folded on themselves and clinchingly embracing said second part to frictionally contact said second part immediately adjacent said looped end portion to stabilize said looped end portion against opening, said second part having at least one opening to accept means to secure said second member to a flat surface.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
113 words
A device for hanging objects from a wall comprising a centrally-apertured, generally flat first part and a relatively elongated, flat second part, said second part having one end folded on itself about a discrete radius of curvature to provide a looped end portion, said first part being mounted within said looped end, said looped end portion being equipped with integral, laterally extending integral tabs folded on themselves and clinchingly embracing said second part to frictionally contact said second part immediately adjacent said looped end portion to stabilize said looped end portion against opening, said second part having at least one opening to accept means to secure said second member to a flat surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
The device of claim 1 in which said first part has an integral reversely folded annular flange to provide a reinforced thickness about said aperture, said flange being narrower than the remainder of said first part.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
45 words
The device of claim 1 in which said looped end portion is disposed at an acute angle to the remainder of said second part to offset said looped end portion and first part from the surface of an object to which said device is secured.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
54 words
The device of claim 1 in which said second part is equipped with a narrowed portion adjacent one end to provide said looped end portion, said second part being equipped with a longitudinally extending rib adjacent to each longitudinal side of said second part extending from the other end thereof to said narrowed portion.
