This non-provisional application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. ยง119(a) on Patent Application No. 99215395 filed in Taiwan, R.O.C. on Aug. 11, 2010, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
1. Technical Field
The present invention relates to a wall mount hanger, and more particularly to a wall mount hanger having an arc surface equipped with anti-slip mechanism.
2. Related Art
A wall mount hanger is a common accessory in daily life. Usually, the wall mount hanger is used to hang clothes and hats, keys, necklaces, calligraphic works and paintings, posters, and potted plants. A common wall mount hanger is a hook disposed on a wall surface, and objects are hung on the hook. Sometimes, the wall mount hanger is a rod directly protruding on the wall surface, and objects are hung on the protruding portion of the rod. Sometimes, a wall mount hanger of universal specifications is designed for some special devices, such as a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD).
In addition to the hanging manner of the wall mount hanger, a rotatable, foldable, or heavy-load wall mount hanger is derived in the prior art in order to meet special application requirements.
As shown in
Sometimes, a lifting hole is disposed on the back of a picture frame, and the lifting hole is sleeved on the hook disposed on the wall surface. Such a wall mount hanging solution solves the problem that the picture easily falls at an angle. However, a user has to precisely measure when installing the hook; otherwise, the whole picture falls at an angle once the hook falls at an angle.
Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a wall mount hanger for hanging an object on a wall surface.
The wall mount hanger includes a hanging section and a sleeve section. The hanging section is protrusively disposed on the wall surface and has a first arc surface and a stop portion. The first arc surface has a plurality of protruding teeth, and the stop portion is protrusively disposed on the first arc surface and is higher than each of the protruding teeth of the first arc surface. The sleeve section has a first surface and a second surface lower than the first surface, and a second arc surface and a slot are disposed between the first surface and the second surface. The second arc surface also has a plurality of protruding teeth. The sleeve section is sleeved on the stop portion of the hanging section through the slot, so that the protruding teeth of the second arc surface are engaged with the protruding teeth of the first arc surface.
Between contacting surfaces of the sleeve section and the hanging section, two arc surfaces are engaged with each other through the protruding teeth of the first and second arc surface, the sleeve section may use pitches of the protruding teeth as rotational pitch angle to rotate relative to the hanging section. In this way, even if deviation occurs when a user installs the hanging section and the sleeve section, the deviation can be adjusted through a relative rotation of the sleeve section and the hanging section, thus reducing user inconvenience dramatically.
Therefore, the present invention solves both problems associated with the conventional wall mount hanger (the picture easily falling at an angle and the problem of inconvenient installation). The present invention is described in detail in the following pages with reference to the embodiments and the accompanying drawings.
The present invention will become more fully understood from the detailed description given below for illustration only, and thus not limitative of the present invention, wherein:
Please refer to
The hanging section 21 has a first arc surface 211 and a stop portion 212. The first arc surface 211 has a plurality of protruding teeth 3. The stop portion 212 is protrusively disposed on the first arc surface 211 and is higher than each of the protruding teeth 3. In the first embodiment, the hanging section 21 further includes a base 218, and is protrusively disposed on the wall surface 4 through a slotted hole 219 of the base 218, which is as shown in
The sleeve section 22 has a first surface 221 and a second surface 222 lower than the first surface. Additionally, a second arc surface 223 and a slot 224 are disposed between the first surface 221 and the second surface 222, in which the second arc surface 223 also has a plurality of protruding teeth 3. The sleeve section 22 is sleeved on the stop portion 212 of the hanging section 21 through the slot 224, so that the protruding teeth 3 of the second arc surface 223 are engaged with the protruding teeth 3 of the first arc surface 211. The combination type of the sleeve section 22 and the hanging section 21 is as shown in
Please refer to
In addition, the wall mount hanger 20 of the present invention may be with different sizes or be of different materials to deal with various application conditions. For example, a metal material is suitable for hanging heavy objects, and a plastic or stainless steel material is suitable in a wet environment.
While the present invention has been described by the way of example and in terms of the preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention need not to be limited to the disclosed embodiments. On the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims, the scope of which should be accorded the broadest interpretation to encompass all such modifications and similar structures.
