Hanger
First Claim
1. A paper hanger for supporting one or more sheets of paper, said paper hanger comprising:
- a base having a supported surface adapted to be positioned along a generally vertical surface, and an opposite outer surface;
an elongate peg having a longitudinal axis and first and second longitudinally spaced ends, a portion of said peg adjacent said first end being mounted on said base in a use position with the axis of said peg being generally at a right angle with respect to said supported surface, and a major portion of said peg adjacent said second end projecting from said outer surface, said major portion of said peg having a diameter of less than about 0.17 inch (0.43 centimeter), having a generally uniform cross sectional area along its length, and having an axially extending surface portion adapted to be positioned uppermost when said supported surface is positioned along a generally vertical surface, only said axially extending surface portion of said peg being adapted to restrict free movement of sheets of paper around said peg axially of said peg, wherein said portion of said peg adjacent said first end is mounted on said base for movement of said peg between said use position and a storage position with said peg extending along the outer surface of said base.

Abstract
A hanger comprising a base having a supported surface adapted to be positioned along a generally vertical surface, and an elongate peg having one end mounted on the base with a portion of the peg projecting from an outer surface of the base opposite its supported surface generally at a right angle with respect to the supported surface of the base. The peg has an axially extending surface portion adapted to be positioned uppermost when the supported surface of the base is positioned along a generally vertical surface, which axially extending surface portion restricts free movement axially of the peg of sheets of paper around and hanging on the peg. That axially extending surface portion can be defined by a layer of adhesive on the peg or by closely spaced sharp edges on the peg. Such sharp edges could be on screw threads around the peg, ridges extending transversely across the peg, serrations formed on the peg, or by abrasive granules adhered along the peg.

12. A combination including
at least one sheet of paper, said sheet of paper having a through opening; - and
a hanger for the shoot of paper, said hanger comprising; a base having a supported surface adapted to be positioned along a generally vertical surface, and an opposite outer surface; an elongate peg having a longitudinal axis and first and second longitudinally spaced ends, a portion of said peg adjacent said first end being mounted on said base with the axis of said peg being generally at a right angle with respect to said supported surface, and a major portion of said peg adjacent said second end projecting from said outer surface, said major portion of said peg having a diameter of less than about 0.17 inch (0.43 centimeter), having a generally uniform cross sectional area along its length, and having an axially extending surface portion defining closely spaced sharp edges, said portion of said peg adjacent said second end extending through said opening in said sheet of paper, and said surface portion defining said sharp edges being adapted to be positioned uppermost when said supported surface is positioned along a generally vertical surface so that only said sharp edges restrict movement of said sheet of paper around said peg axially of said peg. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
