Claim:
1. A frame hanger comprising: a substantially planar fixed section having a top surface, a bottom surface and a perimeter; a portion of the perimeter of the substantially planar fixed section defining a substantially linear mounting guide edge; a single arm rotatably mounted to the substantially planar fixed section between a fully extended state and a fully retracted state; the arm terminating in a pointed end; while in the fully retracted state, no portion of the arm extends beyond the substantially linear' mounting guide edge of the substantially planar fixed section; while in the fully extended state the pointed end of the arm extends beyond the substantially linear mounting guide edge of the substantially planar fixed section; and a barrier formed within the substantially planar fixed section for prohibiting rotation of the arm greater than a predetermined acute angle relative to the substantially linear mounting guide edge in the fully extended state; wherein the barrier is a recess formed within the substantially planar fixed section; wherein in both the fully extended state and the fully retracted state the arm and the substantially planar fixed section lie in two planes substantially parallel to one another; wherein while in the fully extended state, a longitudinal axis of the arm is receivable within a longitudinal axis of the recess; wherein, the frame hanger eliminates needing a hanging wire.
