FRAME FASTENING ASSEMBLY, FRAME ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF MOUNTING A FRAME
A frame assembly is disclosed, which is mounted on an object surface. The frame assembly includes a frame and at least a frame fastening assembly. The frame fastening assembly includes a first fastening member, a second fastening member and an anti-skid member. The first fastening member has a first magnetic element and an adhered surface, and the adhered surface adheres on the object surface. The second fastening member has a second magnetic element, a supporting portion and a fastening portion, the second magnetic element magnetic attracts the first magnetic element, the supporting portion bears the frame and the fastening portion covers parts lateral surface of the frame. The anti-skid member is disposed on a surface of the second fastening member, wherein the surface is opposite to the fastening portion.
Display Frame and Storage Case Unit
A combination display frame and storage case unit for comic books or other similarly flat collectibles with improved means of storage, accessibility, and display. Unit including a front frame with a display window, a case body with retainer surfaces, at least one access opening for quick change of display capabilities, a resting apparatus, and a hanging apparatus. Case body is therebehind front frame, backside of front frame serves as the retainer surface, bottom of case positioned in relation to frame as to allow items therein to maintain the same position when stored or displayed, an accessible entryway allows for quick change of display capability, and retainers on rear side of case body maintain stored items position. Perimeter overhang of front frame in relation to case body facilitates units ability to rest inclined, hanging apparatus is incorporated on back side of case body.
Cleat mount with visual and audible indicator
A mount for mounting an electronic display on a wall includes a latch whereby the display interface portion of the mount can be selectively engaged and disengaged from the wall interface portion. The latch provides a positive visual and/or audible indication of when the mount is fully engaged. The mount may include a wall interface adapted to be secured to a wall or similar structure, and a display interface adapted to be secured to an electronic display. The wall interface generally includes a plurality of pairs of angled slots, each pair of angled slots having a different angle than the other pairs. The slots are adapted to receive fasteners which secure the wall interface to the wall, as well as enable adjustment of the tilt of the bracket so as to ensure the bracket is level.
Mounting device for wall-mounted articles
A mounting device is provided for hanging articles on a wall or other mounting surface. The disclosed mounting device includes a bracket having a raised center portion arranged between two side portions formed integral and contiguous with the raised center portion, and a fastener having a flattened head and a shaft extending therefrom. The raised center portion of the bracket includes a first pair of opposing sidewalls, and the flattened head of the fastener includes a second pair of opposing sidewalls. When the flattened head of the fastener is slidably engaged with the raised center portion of the bracket, each of the second pair of opposing sidewalls is arranged adjacent and parallel to a respective one of the first pair of opposing sidewalls. This prevents substantial rotational movement of the bracket around the fastener to ensure that the wall-mounted article remains at a desired location and orientation on the wall.
Modular mirror mounting system
A modular mirror mounting system is shown and described. The modular mirror mounting system includes a modular mirror frame. The modular mirror frame is comprised of a first cross support secured to a plurality of elongated supports. The plurality of elongated supports extends from a first connected end in the same direction away from the first cross support. A second cross support is secured to a second end of each of the plurality of elongated supports. A plurality of mounting apertures is located through the supports. The modular mirror frame has a mirror secured to the frame, wherein the mirror has a plurality of apertures therethrough. The mirror is secured via mirror fasteners placed through the apertures of the mirror and the frame.
INTERLOCKING SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TILE PANEL MOUNTING
Interlocking systems that mechanically secure tile panels to a supporting structure are enabled. For example, a panel mounting apparatus can comprise: a panel material comprising a first side and a second side, opposite the first side, a substrate material attached to the second side of the panel material, a fastening track attached to the second side of the panel material, adjacent to the substrate material, a mounting clip attached to the fastening track on a first side of the mounting clip, wherein the mounting clip comprises a projection from a second side of the mounting clip, opposite the first side, and a receiving body comprising locking channel that receives the projection, wherein an internal shape of the locking channel compliments an internal shape of the projection.
Frame assembly
Embodiments of the present disclosure include an image frame assembly including a frame portion defining a viewing window and a backing panel attached to a back of the frame portion. The backing panel includes a hinge portion that rotatably couples the backing panel to the frame portion to allow the frame portion to rotate relative to the backing panel about an axis extending parallel to and proximate to an upper edge of the backing panel, a body portion extending from the hinge portion and configured to cover at least portion of a viewing window of the frame portion, and a plurality of biased members extending from the planar portion and toward the frame portion.
Modular panel mount strip
A modular panel mount strip for mounting a panel or piece of art to a wall comprising an elongate body and a magnet. The elongate body includes a magnet housing, a segmentation groove, and at least one interlocking feature. The magnet housing retains the magnet within the elongate body. The segmentation groove is located between a top edge of the elongate body and a bottom edge of the elongate body and can be structured and configured to be broken by human force without breaking other parts of the elongate body. The interlocking feature includes a hinged portion on a first end of the elongate body and/or a locking portion on an opposing end of the elongate body. The locking portion of a first modular panel mount strip can interlock with the hinged portion of a second modular panel mount strip, thereby creating an interlocking mechanism and lengthening the overall device.
PICTURE FRAME HANGER
A picture frame hanger includes a horizontal level bar. The horizontal level bar has a top leveled surface with a bottom curved edge. A securing tab extends upwards from the top leveled surface and provides an attachment point for a picture frame with standard hanging hardware. The top leveled surface provides a level surface for the standard hanging hardware to rest and the bottom curved edge allows for the rotation of the picture frame hanger and the attached picture frame to level the attached picture frame. A vertical support bar extends downward from the horizontal lever bar and provides a lever arm to counteract the downward force created by the weight of the picture frame to prevent the picture frame hanger and picture frame from tilting forward.
Positioning and stabilizing device for picture frames and the like
A device is provided which assists the positioning of wall mounted articles in their preferred orientation and stabilizing them to prevent them moving. The device comprises female and male components, each of which include mating features and magnetic elements that facilitate aligning, mating and attracting the female and male components together when the device is assembled. In a method of using the device to position and stabilize an article, such as a framed picture, on a generally vertically oriented structure, such as a wall, each of the female and male components is affixed to a respective one of the back of the article and the wall such that their mating features are exposed and align and mate with one another, and the magnetic elements attract one another, thereby holding the components together, as well as holding the article to the generally vertically oriented structure in a preferred orientation.
