Claims
- 1. A paper hanger for supporting one or more sheets of paper, said paper hanger comprising:
a base having a supported surface adapted to be positioned along a generally vertical surface, and an opposite outer surface; an elongate peg having a longitudinal axis and first and second longitudinally spaced ends, a portion of said peg adjacent said first end being mounted on said base in a use position with the axis of said peg being generally at a right angle with respect to said supported surface, and a major portion of said peg adjacent said second end projecting from said outer surface, said major portion of said peg having a diameter of less than about 0.17 inch (0.43 centimeter), having a generally uniform cross sectional area along its length, and having an axially extending surface portion adapted to be positioned uppermost when said supported surface is positioned along a generally vertical surface, only said axially extending surface portion of said peg restricting free movement of sheets of paper around said peg axially of said peg.
- 2. A paper hanger according to claim 1 wherein said axially extending surface portion of said peg defines closely spaced sharp edges that restrict free movement of sheets of paper around said peg axially of said peg.
- 3. A paper hanger according to claim 2 wherein said sharp edges are defined by machine screw threads extending around the axis of said peg.
- 4. A paper hanger according to claim 2 wherein said peg is serrated to form peaks having said sharp edges.
- 5. A paper hanger according to claim 2 wherein said peg includes a coating of abrasive granules that have said sharp edges.
- 6. A paper hanger according to claim 2 wherein said peg has axially spaced transverse ridges only on said axially extending surface portion that have said sharp edges.
- 7. A paper hanger according to claim 1 wherein said peg includes a coating of adhesive defining said axially extending surface portion of said peg that restricts free movement of sheets of paper around said peg axially of said peg.
- 8. A paper hanger according to claim 1 wherein said second end of said peg is pointed.
- 9. A paper hanger according to claim 1 wherein said major portion of said peg adjacent said second end projects from said outer surface of said base by a distance in a range of about 0.15 to 0.30 inch (0.38 to 0.76 centimeter).
- 10. A paper hanger according to claim 1 wherein said peg has a diameter of about 0.11 inch (0.28 centimeter) and said major portion of said peg adjacent said second end projects from said outer surface of said base by a distance in a range of about 0.15 to 0.30 inch (0.38 to 0.76 centimeter).
- 11. A paper hanger according to claim 1 further including a length of stretch release adhesive adhered to the supported surface of said base and adapted for adhering said base to a generally vertical surface.
- 12. A paper hanger according to claim 1 wherein said portion of said peg adjacent said first end is mounted on said base for movement of said peg between said use position and a storage position with said peg extending along the outer surface of said base.
- 13. A combination including at least one sheet of paper, said sheet of paper having a through opening; and
a hanger for the sheet of paper, said hanger comprising:
a base having a supported surface adapted to be positioned along a generally vertical surface, and an opposite outer surface; an elongate peg having a longitudinal axis and first and second longitudinally spaced ends, a portion of said peg adjacent said first end being mounted on said base with the axis of said peg being generally at a right angle with respect to said supported surface, and a major portion of said peg adjacent said second end projecting from said outer surface, said major portion of said peg having a diameter of less than about 0.17 inch (0.43 centimeter), having a generally uniform cross sectional area along its length, and having an axially extending surface portion defining closely spaced sharp edges, said portion of said peg adjacent said second end extending through said opening in said sheet of paper, and said surface portion defining said sharp edges being adapted to be positioned uppermost when said supported surface is positioned along a generally vertical surface so that only said sharp edges restrict movement of said sheet of paper around said peg axially of said peg.
- 14. A combination according to claim 13 wherein said sharp edges are defined by machine screw threads extending around the axis of said peg.
- 15. A combination according to claim 13 wherein said peg is serrated to form peaks having said sharp edges.
- 16. A combination according to claim 13 wherein said peg includes a coating of abrasive granules that have said sharp edges.
- 17. A combination according to claim 13 wherein said second end of said peg is pointed.
