Filed:

Mar 5, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/798046

Inventors:

Robert Lemire - Kings Park NY 11754

International Classification:

A47G 118

US Classification:

40757, 248493

Abstract:

Pictures and picture backs that provide a self-leveling picture support for a stable wall hanging. The back is designed for the easy removal of an easel flap and its holder. The back also has a series of holes for a cord to be looped through so that two loops can be used when hanging the picture on a wall. The cord is able to slide and allow the picture to be hung perfectly level. The easel flap is designed to be a template for the screws in the wall. This allows the screws to be installed at the proper location on the wall. The cord loops allow the picture to be positioned until it is level by having on loop get shorter while the other loop gets longer. The easel holder can be removed and is stored in a slot at the bottom of the back. This keeps all the components together and helps to keep the picture stable and parallel to the wall.

Abstract:

One or more horizontal brackets mounted to a surface provide support, positioning, and locking when one or more hanger bodies with adjustable hooks are attached to the back of a picture or other object so that the hooks grab onto the brackets. The brackets are beveled to provide space for the hooks between the surface and the bracket. The upward and downward facing hooks on the hangers move vertically along screws and hook onto the top and bottom of the horizontal brackets. The downward facing hooks that grab onto the top of the bracket provide support and horizontal positioning by sliding along the length of the bracket. They also position the picture to the desired height and make it level. The upward facing hooks that grab onto the bottom of the brackets lock the picture onto the brackets.

International Classification:

A47G 116

US Classification:

248495, 248476, 40757

Abstract:

Picture frames and frame bases attached to pictures that are able to be mounted flush against a wall are described. Special recessed areas and frame connections make contact with one or more special wall brackets. The wall brackets are anchored into the wall and are connected to the frame in a number of ways. One of the ways is with the use of a screw that has a threaded bar moving on it. The screw goes through the top of the frame and is locked to the inside face of the frame so that it remains in place when the screw is turned. When the screw is turned the threaded bar moves into a recess in the wall bracket and pushes the picture up until the picture bottom hits a second wall bracket. This second bracket locks the picture onto the wall. The embodiments presented demonstrate various other means of locking the picture flush against the wall, as well as, means for leveling and adjusting the position of the picture.

US Classification:

40761, 40748, 40757, 248493

Abstract:

Pictures and picture backs are improved with the use of an easel back that is fashioned to be a double hook for hanging the picture on a wall. The double loop hanging system described in U. S. Pat. No. 6,405,466 is improved with the use of this device. The easel flap supports the picture on a surface and allows for the fastening of the picture onto the surface. When it is removed from the picture the easel flap provides a side adjusting means for hanging a picture level on a wall.

Inventors:

Robert J. Lemire - Kings Park NY, US

International Classification:

A47G 1/24

US Classification:

248476, 248495

Abstract:

Objects hung with the improved hook & cord loop hanging system uses one or more adjustable hooks for changing the length of one or more flexible cord loops. This hanging system is an improvement over the hangers described in U. S. Pat. No. 5,947,438. Each improved hanger can either be affixed to the object or to the surface the object is being hung on. The cord loop or loops interface with various supports connecting to or affixed to the object or to the surface when the hanger is on the object. The single hook and single cord configuration provides vertical adjustability by shortening the length of the cord through the turning of the screw the adjustable hook is ridding on. A single hook and double cord configuration provides support and locking for the object. A double hook and double cord configuration provides vertical ajdustability and locking capability These hangers can be used alone for small objects or in pairs for larger or heavier objects.

International Classification:

F16B 21/00

US Classification:

411340, 411999, 411344

Abstract:

A flat nut is provided with a threadlike retainer cord and structure for self-drilling and slotting a wall to provide a suitable hole for insertion of the nut, and a screw to be threaded into the nut. The retainer cord provides for positioning the nut on the back side of the wall. The nut has an elongated drilling point for making a hole and serrated teeth along an elongated side for making horizontal slots on each side of the hole to accommodate the full width of the nut. The arrangement provides a simple way to fasten objects onto a wall without access to both sides.

Inventors:

Robert Lemire - Kings Park NY, US

International Classification:

A47G001/16

US Classification:

248/493000

Abstract:

This invention deals with a system of hanging pictures onto a wall with a number of interconnected cord loops. The loops go over supports affixed to a wall and hold the picture in a stable and level position. The interconnection of the loops provides precise leveling. The system also allows for the hanging of pictures from the bottom of the frame. The forces on the corner fasteners are removed by this method. The system also has the ability to position the picture in both the vertical and horizontal directions by simply turning a screw. The screws move hooks that alter the position of the cord and provides the changes in position.
