Wall anchors and assemblies of the present disclosure include a plate, one more prongs, and a load bearing structure. The prongs are typically integral with a side edge of the plate and are typically curved in an upward towards the top edge of the plate.

The present invention includes methods, devices, kits, and components of an apparatus that can assist a user to identify locations of attachment points or openings on a frame and transferring those measurements to a wall for purposes of supporting a picture that is level.

A bracket for hanging an item on a wall is disclosed. The bracket has one or more bracket apertures which are used to mount the bracket to the hanging item. The hanging item could be an item like a picture or a shelf. The bracket has a mounting aperture which is used to mount the hanging item on a nail or a screw. Adjacent to the mounting aperture is a pinhole having a set screw. To use the bracket the user unthreads the set screw from the pinhole opening. The user places the hanging item in its desired location on the wall and pushes the item against the wall so that the set screw marks a spot on the wall where the user should place a nail or a screw for hanging the item.

A mounting device (1) comprising: a bracket (2), the bracket (2) having a top surface, side surfaces, a rear surface and a front surface; an adhesive pad (4), the adhesive pad (4) comprising a rear surface and a front surface, wherein the rear surface is attached to the rear surface of the bracket (2) and the front surface comprises an adhesive layer; a cover (3), a frame or a bar, wherein the cover (3), the frame or the bar is removably attached to the bracket (2) and either comprises at least one means (8) for attaching an object or has an object integrally attached.

A picture frame hanging assembly that includes at least one bracket directly coupled to either a horizontally oriented or a vertically oriented frame element and each bracket enclosing and defining hook-receiving aperture superimposed over a frame cavity of the picture frame and with an aperture width. The assembly includes a hook component directly coupled to a building wall surface and with a cantilevered hook member extending therefrom an offset length from a front surface of the hook component to define a bracket placement zone with the bracket disposed therein and having an inner surface with an inner surface hook width spanning from terminal opposing lateral sides thereon and at least partially supporting an upper wall of the hook component, wherein the aperture width is at least approximately twice or greater than the inner surface hook width.

Wall anchors and positioning aids disclosed herein grant a user the ability to temporary hang or otherwise mount heavyweight objects, while also allowing for adjustment of at least one of the location and orientation of the assembly via the direct manipulation of the object.

An anchor assembly for anchoring an object on a wall includes a first anchor component and second anchor component, each anchor component pivotable relative to the assembly and having a back side and a front side, and each anchor component having at least one curved wall penetrating retainer extending therefrom. The anchor assembly has an install orientation in the wall in which the wall penetrating retainer of each anchor component is inserted within the wall for a jaw-type grip of the wall.

An acoustic panel wall mounting system including a rigid fastening plate and a panel anchor. The rigid fastening plate carries a field of first touch fastening features and defines an aperture for receiving a mechanical fastener to secure the fastening plate against a wall with the field of first touch fastening features exposed. The panel anchor has a helix extending from a rigid surface flange that carries a field of second touch fastening features on a surface opposite the helix. The anchor defines a tool receptacle used for twisting the helix into a panel. The field of first touch fastening features is engageable with the field of second touch fastening features to form a connection when brought into engagement as the panel is placed against the wall to contact the fastening plate with the panel anchor.

A picture frame hanging assembly that includes a pair of brackets each respectively directly coupled at least one of a horizontally and a vertically oriented frame elements and each bracket enclosing and defining hook-receiving aperture superimposed over a frame cavity of the picture frame and with an aperture width. The assembly includes a pair of hook components directly coupled to a building wall surface and with a cantilevered hook member extending therefrom an offset length from a front surface of the hook components to define a bracket placement zone with one of the pair of brackets disposed therein and having an inner surface with an inner surface hook width spanning from terminal opposing lateral sides thereon and at least partially supporting an upper wall of the respective one of the pair of hook components, the aperture width at least approximately twice or greater than the inner surface hook width.
