R-Hang

Application

The Rotation Hanger (R-Hanger) is a patented system for mounting framed art. R-Hanger is developed to fit the thin wooden frames used for graphic art, photography and framed letters or diplomas, but work equally well with so-called Poster frames. No system has previously existed which could be used both by museums and private individuals, fulfilling the following minimum standards:

R-Hanger can be used on any type of wall. The frame must be at least 10 mm wide and 10 mm thick. R-Hanger can be mounted permanently on removable frames. A frame fitted with R-Hanger hangs parallel to the wall at a distance of approximately 3 mm.

Target Group

R-Hanger is used for hanging art in public spaces without theft alarms, and where high aesthetic standards are required. Example: photography exhibitions.

Description

The patented R-hanger is manufactured in very strong sprung steel with a specialised design. At each end of the plate, a 3.5 mm hole is punched. R-hanger is mounted on the back of the artwork frame. Nylon washers, placed between the frame and the R-hanger, and between the R-hanger and the wall, guarantee an even and smooth rotation without damaging either wall or frame. In total, four plates are required for theftproof mounting. Screws delivered together with the R-hanger have a recessed head to enable R-hanger to be centred when mounting. R-hanger can tolerate a load of 10 kg without bending, and the load must exceed 500 kg for the R-hanger to break.

Delivery

R-Hanger is delivered in packages of 100 R-hanger units including 200 nylon washers, 100 recessed head screws with rawlplugs (3,5 x 10,0 mm) and 100 (3,0 x 25,0 mm). One package is sufficient for 25 frames.

Instructions for use

Step 1 - Mounting on the frame

1) Two R-hangers are screwed in parallel to frame's upper edge, as close as possible to the edge. Note that the R-hanger's long tongue must be mounted towards the frame, and a nylon washer placed between frame and R-hanger. Use screw matching frame profile's thickness. Frame must be at least 10 mm wide. Place plates at right angles to the frame and tighten screw gently so that R-hanger remains in position.

Step one - mounting the R-Hang

2) Screw in the other plates as far in as possible on the back of the artwork frame's outer sides, but no further in than 20 mm. Place these R-hangers too at right angles to the frame and tighten screws.

Step one - mounting the R-Hang

Step 2 - Wall mounting

1) Place frame's upper edge 40 mm beneath the final position. Ensure that picture's upper edge is horizontal and that the R-hanger is at right angles with the frame. Screw frame tight with the screws provided (3,5 x 16,0 mm). Ensure that screw is centred in the R-hanger's hole. Don't forget the nylon washer between the R-hanger and the wall. When both screws are tightened, the picture is hung, and both hands are free for the next step.

Step two - mounting the R-Hang

2) Turn frame 90 degrees clockwise. Screw the right-hand R-hanger into the wall as described above. Ensure that the R-hanger is at right angles with the frame and that the screw is centred in the hole with the nylon washer between the R-hanger and the wall.

Step two - mounting the R-Hang

3) Turn picture 180 degrees and fasten the final R-hanger.

Step two - mounting the R-Hang

4) Turn frame one final time 90 degrees clockwise so that all plates are hidden. If all R-hangers were at right angles with frame when they were screwed tight in the wall with centred screws, the frame will be hanging with a horizontal upper edge.

Step two - mounting the R-Hang

Dismantling

The frame is dismantled step by step in the opposite order to mounting procedure. The R-hangers may be left in place on the frame.
