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.

An anchor assembly for hanging an object on a wall includes a first anchor component and a second anchor component. The second anchor component is pivotably associated with the first anchor component for movement between an anchoring orientation and a non-anchoring orientation to enable staged installation of the anchor assembly into a wall. At least one wall penetrating retainer extends from each of the first and second anchor components. When the second anchor component is in the anchoring orientation a curved configuration of the wall penetrating extent of the retainer of the second anchor component opposes a curved configuration of the wall penetrating extent of the retainer of the first anchor component to form a jaw-type arrangement.

The present invention is a one-piece mounting device for hanging items on a wall. The plate has a puncture device which pierces the wallboard and holds the device on the wall.

An anchor assembly for hanging an object on a wall includes a first anchor component and a second anchor component. The first anchor component includes a base having front, back, top, bottom, left and right sides, and at least one wall penetrating retainer extending from the base and having a wall penetrating extent that protrudes rearwardly of the base and has a downwardly curved configuration. The second anchor component includes a base having front, back, top, bottom, left and right sides, at least one wall penetrating retainer extending from the base of the second anchor component and having a wall penetrating extent that protrudes rearwardly of the base of the second anchor component and has a curved configuration. The second anchor component is pivotably associated with the first anchor component for movement between an anchoring orientation and a non-anchoring orientation.

Present invention discloses a user-friendly heavy duty dual-hooks plastic or metal hanger that has a hook-above-nail arrangement, and load capacity and structural strength equivalent to that of conventional nail-above-hook metal hanger.

Mounting blocks comprising a body having first and second mounting faces and first and second hanging faces wherein the first mounting face and first hanging face are opposing faces on the body and the second mounting face and second hanging face are opposing faces on the body, wherein: the first and second mounting faces are each adapted to be mounted to a mounting surface; the first and second hanging faces are each adapted to retain a decorative article. Also, collages of two or more decorative articles mounted on a mounting surface with such mounting blocks

A bracket for hanging a picture frame on a supporting structure. The bracket is a one-piece member formed of plastic having a pair of legs projecting perpendicularly from a bottom surface of a base and extending at right angles with respect to each other. The legs are spaced from a peripheral edge of the base forming a V-shaped planar portion between the edge and legs. A reinforcing member extends between the pair of legs and an attachment pin mounted in the reinforcing member extends outwardly beyond a top surface of the base. A pair of attachment pins is pressed into the supporting structure to suspend the frame therefrom after two of the brackets are secured in upper right hand corners of the frame.
