Abstract
A picture frame hanger includes a member stamped of thin sheet having a thickness on the order of 0.05″ and includes a lower flat depending portion arranged in a first vertical plane. At least one connecting portion or tab is provided that is horizontally offset from the depending portion and arranged in a second vertical plane parallel to the first plane. An integral bridging portion is arranged in a horizontal plane or normal to the first and second planes spaced a distance less than a depth of the upper rail. The connecting portion attaches the hanger to the upper rail rear surface. The depending portion is offset by the bridging portion to position the depending portion internally of the frame cavity spaced from the wall. The frame can be supported on a wall or surface while being spaced from the wall by only the thickness of the connecting portions.
