Abstract
Pictures and picture backs that provide a self-leveling picture support for a stable wall hanging. The back is designed for the easy removal of an easel flap and its holder. The back also has a series of holes for a cord to be looped through so that two loops can be used when hanging the picture on a wall. The cord is able to slide and allow the picture to be hung perfectly level. The easel flap is designed to be a template for the screws in the wall. This allows the screws to be installed at the proper location on the wall. The cord loops allow the picture to be positioned until it is level by having on loop get shorter while the other loop gets longer. The easel holder can be removed and is stored in a slot at the bottom of the back. This keeps all the components together and helps to keep the picture stable and parallel to the wall.
