Abstract:
A force distributing hanger for a fabric-covered wall or furniture having a fabric exterior surface and an inner core material, said hanger comprising:a first planar member overlapping a second planar member, each planar member having two faces, one face being an exposed face and the other face being an unexposed face, said overlapping being between said faces of said planar members to form an overlap junction; a plurality of pins attached to and extending orthogonally from said exposed face of said second planar member; a hinge pin that traverses said first planar member and said second planar member at said overlap junction, said hinge pin having a first horizontal portion perpendicular to two second horizontal portions, said second horizontal portions being contiguous with two vertical portions; and a hanging means attached to said exposed face of said first planar member, whereby when said hinge pin is inserted into said fabric-covered wall or furniture, said plurality of pins can penetrate said fabric exterior surface and said inner core material thereby allowing distribution of any weight that is placed on said hanging means and preventing ripping of said fabric exterior surface.
