A substrate usable with a double-side adhesive strip to suspend the substrate to a wall surface. The substrate can have one or more access holes located within an outer perimeter of the substrate. Each access hole has an inner perimeter inwardly of the outer perimeter that is sized and shaped to allow a tab of the double-sided adhesive strip to be extracted through the inner perimeter, after the substrate is suspended on the wall surface. Various articles can attach to the suspended substrate, such as through magnetic attachment, a hook, or a shelf.

An over-the-door hanging apparatus includes a support structure extending along a longitudinal axis and having a rear surface. A first mounting bracket that is elongated in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the support structure is coupled to the rear surface of the support structure. A bracket assembly may include a first elongate member having a first bracket that is configured to engage a top edge of a door, a second elongate member having a second bracket that is configured to engage the top edge of the door, and at least one mounting element. The support structure may be configured to be mounted to the bracket assembly through engagement between the at least one mounting element of the bracket assembly and the first mounting bracket.

An over-the-door hanging apparatus which includes a mirror apparatus having a rear surface, at least one mounting element located on the rear surface of the mirror apparatus, and at least one over-the-door hanger. The over-the-door hanger may include an elongate member, a bracket for engaging a top edge of a door, a first hook punched into the elongate member and being aligned with a first aperture formed through the elongate member, and a second hook punched into the elongate member and being aligned with a second aperture formed through the elongate member. The mirror apparatus may be slidably mounted to the at least one over-the-door hanger through slidable mating between the at least one mounting element on the rear surface of the mirror apparatus and one of the first and second hooks of the at least one over-the-door hanger.

Bin and shelf mounting systems including at least one mounting bracket and a bin or shelf and methods of installing said bins or shelves to a wall. The at least one mounting bracket configured with a truncated wedge shape and beveled side edges. The bin and shelf include at least one recess on a rear wall thereof. The at least one recess includes (i) a downward-facing cavity at a top portion of the recess, (ii) side edges that are beveled, and (iii) a truncated wedge shape complimentary to the at least one mounting bracket. The recess is configured to slidably engage the at least one mounting bracket. A multi-hook system including a mounting bracket and a plurality of face plates.

A method for occupying a toddler may include providing a flexible mat; affixing the flexible mat to a vertical surface; providing an elongated tether; affixing the elongated tether to at least one of the vertical surface and the flexible mat; coupling an object to the elongated tether. In some embodiments, the elongated tether has an anchor end and a retention end. The retention end may have one or more retention apertures, each characterized by a retention-aperture diameter, and a retention terminus characterized by a retention diameter being greater than the retention-aperture diameter. Coupling an object to the elongated tether may include disposing the retention end around or through the object and disposing the retention terminus through one of the one or more retention apertures to form a compression fit.

The present disclosure provides adhesive mounting articles that can be removed from surfaces without damage by having reduced contribution of a hardgood to the peel force generated by the adhesive article during removal. In some instances, this can be accomplished by a hardgood that is flexible in a peel direction and rigid in a weight hanging direction. Such hardgoods may include a plurality of minimally connected body segments arranged about the transverse axis of the hardgood body.
