A concealed mounting bracket configured to be mounted to studs of a framed structure. The bracket can have a support and a pin. The pin can be configured to punch through drywall as the drywall is installed.

A planar display assembly is provided with a pane with a front reflective surface and a rear surface. An array of mounting plates is provided, each with a first fastener, and a polygonal mounting plate adhered to the rear surface by an adhesive. A plurality of second fasteners is each engaged with one of the array of first fasteners for linear adjustment relative to the pane in a direction generally perpendicular to the pane to support the planar display assembly upon an upright support surface. Each mounting plate is oriented upon the pane rear surface such that at least one vertex extends away from the corresponding first fastener in a direction toward another sequential first fastener within the array of first fasteners. A metal bracket is adapted to be mounted to the upright support surface. The bracket has at least one enclosed cleat to receive two of the second fasteners.

A picture frame wall hanging and leveling assembly is described. It contains a frame plate having a tab extending downward from the frame plate and further having two or more screw holes for screwing the frame plate to the picture frame. The assembly further contains a wall mount having a horizontal slot along the length of the base plate that receives the tab of the frame plate and walls around the slot.

Rack and frame systems disclosed herein are for displaying equipment/memorabilia and photographs. The system preferably includes a base, a rack subsystem, and a frame subsystem. The base preferably includes a base spine, a plurality of base ribs, and a plurality of base mounts. Each base rib preferably extends from the base spine and has an associated base mount. The rack subsystem includes at least one attachment device and the base spine. The attachment device(s) is/are for removably securing the equipment/memorabilia to the base spine. The frame subsystem includes a plurality of frames and the plurality of base mounts. Each frame is connectable to a respective base mount.

Various example embodiments disclosed herein include systems and methods for a wall hanging system. Example embodiments include: a wall mount formed with a longitudinally elongated body having upper and lower ends and a wall-facing surface, the upper end being formed with a longitudinal rail for engaging a channel in a frame member, the wall mount including an attachment mechanism to attach the wall mount to a wall surface, the wall mount further including an embedded leveling indicator to enable level attachment of the wall mount to the wall surface; and a frame including at least one frame member, each frame member being formed with a first longitudinal channel for engaging the rail of the upper end of the wall mount, each frame member being formed with a second longitudinal channel for engaging an edge of a wall hanging item inserted into the frame.

A picture frame hanger for assisting in hanging a picture having a frame on a wall, the hanger comprising: a generally horizontal member having at least first and second slots therein to receive at least one fastener to fasten the picture frame hanger to the picture; and a generally vertical handle affixed to the horizontal member. The horizontal member has a generally vertical body, a top flange extending outwardly away from the vertical body and a lower flange extending away from the body, the top and bottom flanges forming therebetween a recess in which the first and second slots are positioned. The vertical body is configured to contact the frame of the picture. The horizontal member further includes means for receiving at least one picture hanging element to permit the picture to hang on the wall.

A picture frame wall hanging and leveling assembly is described. It contains a frame plate having a tab extending downward from the frame plate and further having two or more screw holes for screwing the frame plate to the picture frame. The assembly further contains a wall mount having a horizontal slot along the length of the base plate that receives the tab of the frame plate and walls around the slot.

A mounting system for making, moving, leveling, or locking wall dcor on a generally vertical surface comprising a hanger having a front face and a rear face, said rear face including a series of gear like teeth, said front face having a flat outwardly protruding flange; a locking mechanism in the form of a generally rectangular plate having an inset series of teeth formed to mate with said series of gear like teeth of said hanger; said hanger having an adhesive affixed to said rear face thereof, whereby said hanger may be positioned at a desired location on a vertical surface; a fastener for securely attaching said hanger to said wall at said desired location on said vertical surface after said hanger is positioned using said adhesive; and said locking receiver being first attached to said wall dcor and thereafter positioned over said hanger by mating one or more of said inset series of teeth over one or more of said series of gear like teeth of said hanger to thereby hang said wall dcor from said vertical surface.

The present invention relates to a device and method for mounting a framed image, such as a canvas painting stretched across a wooden frame, on a wall or other mounting surface by using the back edge of the frame and a mounting device to mount the framed image flush to the mounting surface.

The invention relates to a framed art hanging system for hanging pictures and other similar items such as art, photos, diplomas, posters, paintings and framed sports memorabilia on walls. The system allows the installer of a framed picture to easily hang the picture utilizing the combination of a magnetic connection and a mechanical connection. The magnetic connection is achieved by utilizing a magnet, preferably adhered to a plate which is attached to either the back of the picture frame or to the wall and a metal plate which is magnetically attracted to the magnet, the metal plate being placed on the other location (either the back of the picture frame or to the wall). Three example ways to achieve a mechanical connection are described. The first way is to place an abrasive coating on either the frame plate or the magnet plate and a deformable substance coating on the other. The second way is to combine fins and grooves, one being placed on the frame plate and the other being placed on the magnet plate. The last way is to utilize geometric protrusions and depressions, one being placed on the frame plate and the other being placed on the magnet plate.
