Abstract (en)
A hanger assembly is used for hanging sheet material, e.g. tapestries or large photographic wall hangings for artistic, decorative or promotional displays. The hanger assembly comprises an elongated upper rod (10) normally intended to be used with its longitudinal axis horizontal. The upper rod (10) has a first slot (26) formed in the lower portion thereof and extending along substantially its entire length. The first slot (26) has a transverse internal width wider than the width at its opening. The rod (10) further has means formed in an upper portion thereof for mating with suitable hanging means. The hanger assembly further comprises an elongated lower rod (12), the longitudinal axis of which is intended to lie parallel to the longitudinal axis of the upper rod (10). The lower rod (12) has a second slot formed in its upper surface and extending along substantially its entire length. The second slot (12) has a transverse internal width greater than the width at its opening. The hanger assembly further comprises strip means (50, 54, 60, 64, 68) adapted to engage the upper and lower edges of a sheet of material (16, 18) to be hung, said strip means (50, 54, 60, 64, 68) being respectively adapted to be slidingly received within said first and second slots (26) with the attached sheet (16, 18) extending through the slotted openings in each said rod (10, 12) said sheet (16, 18) being thereby attached to said first and second rods (10, 12).
