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.

An adjustable hanger assembly having a fixed holder base mountable to a substantially planar structure such as a wall and a movable hook assembly slidably insertable into a cavity within the fixed holder base A actuator disposed in the fixed holder base in contact with the movable hook assembly causes the movable hook to move upward or downward in relation to the fixed holder base to a desired position of an item for hanging.

A smart mirror can show live or recorded streaming video of an instructor performing a workout in a package that is attractive and unobtrusive enough to hang in a living room. The smart mirror includes a mirror surface with a fully reflecting section and a partially reflecting section. A display behind the partially reflecting section shows the video when the smart mirror is on and is almost invisible when the smart mirror is off. The smart mirror also has a speaker, a microphone, and a camera to enable a user to view the video content and interact with the instructor. The smart mirror may connect to the user's smart phone, a peripheral device (e.g., a Bluetooth speaker) to augment user experience, a biometric sensor to provide biometric data to assess user performance, and/or a network router to connect the smart mirror to a content provider, an instructor, and/or other users.

A releasable mounting device for supporting an article including a metal sheet having a front surface, a rear surface opposite the front surface, and a side edge extending between the front surface and the rear surface. At least a first hole extends through the sheet from the front surface to the rear surface. Hooked barbs extend integrally from the top surface, and grooves formed in the top surface. Each hooked barb is associated with a respective one of the grooves.

The present disclosure relates to a system (100) for framing and displaying photographs comprising at least one frame backing (10) for receiving at least one photograph; at least one fastening mechanism (18) comprising at least one couple fastener (18) for affixing the frame backing (10) to the mounting surface (12); at least one marking tool (20) adapted to create at least one marking on the mounting surface (12); and at least one frame bracket (22) adapted to reversibly plug into the side walls of said frame backing (10), wherein the number of apertures and the number of receptacles on the frame backing exactly match the number of couple fasteners. The system further comprises at least one positioning tool (24) and at least one sticky marker (26).

The present invention relates to a system, method, and device for mounting pictures, art, and other framed images on a wall or other mounting surface by creating a receptacle in the rabbet area of the frame for the framed image wherein the receptacle fits onto a mounting plate that is attached to the mounting surface.

A hanging apparatus that includes a frame, a stack, and a bracket. The frame has a front surface, a rear surface opposite the front surface, and an inner surface that defines a display opening. The frame may also have a rabbet defined by a horizontal surface and a vertical surface of the inner surface of the frame and a channel may be formed into the vertical surface. A stack can be positioned within the rabbet of the frame. The hanging apparatus may also include one or more brackets each including a body portion including an edge having a sawtooth configuration. The bracket may also include a mounting portion that facilitates coupling the bracket to the frame by nesting the mounting portion of the bracket within the channel of the frame.

A tool, such as a level, including one or more polymer/plastic body segment, protective cover and/or seal is provided. The covers discussed herein may limit or prevent dirt or construction materials, such as concrete, from entering into the level body. The cover may also be a non-stick material, such as a polymer outer sleeve, that limits the ability of dirt and construction material to adhere to the level. The level may also include scratch resistant vial windows.

A universal hanging mount includes a first substrate having a front face and a rear face. A mounting plate is coupled to the front face. The mounting plate has a rear face that is in contact with the front face of the first substrate and an opposite front face. A plurality of hanging adapters that are formed along the front face of the mounting plate. At least two of the plurality of the hanging adapters are different types of hanging adapters that are configured to mate with different types of hanging hardware that is located along a rear of a frame article.

A frame apparatus for displaying an article. The frame apparatus includes a support structure having a frame and a backer panel. A plurality of slots are formed into the backer panel that include a first slot that is elongated along a first axis that is parallel to top and bottom edges of the support structure and a second slot that is elongated along a second axis that is parallel to lateral edges of the support structure. The frame apparatus may include a hanging element for hanging the support structure from a support surface such as a wall. The hanging element may be configured to be slidably coupled to the support structure such that the hanging element can slide back and forth within one of the slots while remaining coupled to the support structure. This structure enables the frame apparatus to move side-to-side along the support surface while hanging therefrom.
