The present disclosure relates to adhesive article that include a stretch releasable adhesive and topographical, engineered elements on, within, or partially embedded in a surface of the adhesive. The engineered elements can act as spacers between the adhesive surface and the mounting surface to prevent full contact and wet out of the adhesive, whereby the article can be initially positioned or rotated by sliding the surface of the projections across the wall surface. Under certain conditions, the article may even be removed from the wall and placed at a new location without damage to the wall surface or the article. Once the location is selected, the separation created by the engineered elements can be overcome by applying sufficient pressure; the adhesive can contact and adhere more permanently to the wall. Thus, a stretch releasable adhesive articles of the present disclosure can move freely against the desired mounting surface, develop additional tack and holding power after sufficient pressure is applied.

A decorative object assembly for attachment to a vertical surface includes a substantially planar decorative block defining an upper edge and a lower edge. A flexible planar strip is made of a thermoplastic polymer, and defines an upper edge parallel to the upper edge of the block, a lower edge parallel to the lower edge of the block, and a vertical direction between the upper and lower edges. A first layer of adhesive extends vertically downward from the upper edge of the strip, for releasable attachment to the vertical surface. An attachment mechanism for attachment to the decorative block is configured on a lower vertical section of the planar strip. A gap section of the strip is vertically located between the first layer of adhesive and the lower vertical section, on which no adhesive is adhered.

An apparatus including a first block; a first strip having a first side with a first attachment device and an opposing second side with an adhesive; and a first pin having a head portion and an elongated portion which is connected at a first end to the head portion, which projects from the head portion of the first pin, and has an opposing second end at which there is a point. The head portion of the first pin is configured to be attached to the first block in a first state, and the first side of the first strip is attached to the first block by the first attachment device and the elongated portion of the first pin projects out through a first opening in the first strip. The pin is inserted into the wall and the first strip is attached to the wall by the attachment device.

The invention relates to a fastening device having at least one positionable holding device, comprising a base plate having an extensively flat rear surface and a front surface, opposite the rear surface, wherein a first guide channel is formed on the front surface. The guide channel is delimited by side walls, wherein engagement areas are formed at least in sections on at least one of the side walls. According to the invention, a slide element is arranged in the guide channel, which can be displaced along the guide channel, wherein the slide element has a carrying element, wherein two spring elements are formed on the slide element, which can engage with the engagement surfaces of the guide channel in a blocking position, and wherein there is a movable locking element on the slide element, which fastens the spring elements at least in the blocking position.

The present disclosure generally relates to stretch-releasable adhesive articles that are capable of attaching or adhering to a substrate and that can be removed from the substrate without causing damage to the substrate. The present disclosure also generally relates to methods of making and using such adhesive articles.

The present disclosure relates generally to an improved mounting assembly. In general, the mounting device includes a cover plate, a frame (at least a portion of which is adjacent to the cover plate), and an accessory that is attachable to the cover plate. The frame includes generally horizontal top and bottom portions or members that cooperatively limit or prohibit lateral motion of the cover plate relative to the frame when the cover plate is attached to the frame and is attached to a wall or vertical surface. The presence of the generally horizontal bottom and top portions or members facilitate faster and easier application and removal of the mounting assembly to a wall or other vertical surface by permitting the mounting assembly to be removed from the backplate on the wall in a single step.

A hook assembly includes a base having a chamber, a hook portion provided on a bottom of the base, and a lean indicator mounted in the base via a second pivotal portion. The base includes an opening, a window portion, and an adhesion portion which is adhered to a surface. The adhesion portion and the opening are provided on a back plate. The base includes two first pivotal portions. A center of each first pivotal portion is spaced from the surface at a spacing. The lean indicator includes first and second faces. The first face has a feature different from that of the second face. A central axis of the second pivotal portion does not pass through a center of gravity of the lean indicator. The central axis of the second pivotal portion is spaced from each edge of the lean indicator at a distance slightly larger than the spacing.

A decorative object assembly for attachment to a vertical surface includes a substantially planar decorative block defining an upper edge and a lower edge. A flexible planar strip is made of a thermoplastic polymer, and defines an upper edge parallel to the upper edge of the block, a lower edge parallel to the lower edge of the block, and a vertical direction between the upper and lower edges. A first layer of adhesive extends vertically downward from the upper edge of the strip, for releasable attachment to the vertical surface. An attachment mechanism for attachment to the decorative block is configured on a lower vertical section of the planar strip. A gap section of the strip is vertically located between the first layer of adhesive and the lower vertical section, on which no adhesive is adhered.

The present disclosure relates generally to various improved mounting devices. Some embodiments relate to a mounting device, comprising: a bracket that can be attached to or mounted on a vertical surface with one or more adhesive strips; and one or more mechanical features on the bracket that prevent or minimize an item hung on the bracket from sliding horizontally off the bracket.

An article mounting device including a stretch releasable adhesive strip capable of being attached to a surface. The adhesive strip is positioned on the base, whilst the non-adhesive pull tab portion is visible to allow easy detaching by the user. The mounting device comprises an adjustable protrusion to allow the mounting of a variety of articles to different surfaces such as a wall, ceiling and others.
