Abstract
A wall hanging device comprising a backing plate having a front surface and first and second rear surfaces formed on a slot defining structure. First and second slot portions are defined between the front surface and the first and second rear surfaces. The slot portions are spaced from each other to increase friction between a cord attached to a framed work and the device. The device has a reduced dimension portion located between the first and second rear surfaces that allows the device to be separated into first and second portions. The device can be used in a first mode in which the device is left whole and employed to hang a single framed work, a second mode in which the device is separated into two portions and employed to hang a single relatively large framed work, or a third mode in which the device is separated into two portions and employed to hang first and second relatively small framed works.
