A device for marking the position of surface hanging fasteners is disclosed. An example device may include a piece of material with an adhesive side that is capable of adhering to, or adhering adjacent to or in the expected position of, a piece of attachment hardware of a surface hanging such as a picture frame. The example device may also include a marking side that includes a marking material capable of leaving a mark on a surface against which it is pressed, such that when the surface hanging is held against the surface in the desired position and orientation, a mark is created on the surface in the position of the desired fastener.

A hook assembly includes a base having a chamber, a hook portion provided on a bottom of the base, and a lean indicator mounted in the base via a second pivotal portion. The base includes an opening, a window portion, and an adhesion portion which is adhered to a surface. The adhesion portion and the opening are provided on a back plate. The base includes two first pivotal portions. A center of each first pivotal portion is spaced from the surface at a spacing. The lean indicator includes first and second faces. The first face has a feature different from that of the second face. A central axis of the second pivotal portion does not pass through a center of gravity of the lean indicator. The central axis of the second pivotal portion is spaced from each edge of the lean indicator at a distance slightly larger than the spacing.

A wall marking system for hanging objects for marking exact points on the wall where the mounts for hanging the objects are to be inserted. The wall marking system for hanging objects includes a wall marking tool including a disc-shaped support member having a first side and a second side and also including a wall marker integrally attached to the support member and further including a retainer integrally attached to the support member and engagable to a hanging object.

The present disclosure relates to a space and dimension determining device, which is useful for placement, mounting, hanging and leveling a picture, shelving, or any other object onto a receiving surface. The present device is capable of locking into position capturing the dimensions and allowing for measureless transfer of dimensions from one place to another. The present disclosure further relates to a device incorporating a laser, either as part of, or a separate, attachable feature to, the present device, the laser being useful for assisting in determining center points, and a plurality of dimensions and readings equal distance from the center point. The present disclosure also relates to a system and method of transferring dimensions from a space determining device to an electronic communication device, which is used to create a template for placement of an item or items within a target space.

An adjustable hanger assembly is provided that includes a slider base and a slider that can be adjusted vertically within the slider base and held in a vertical position by an engagement with the slider base. A spring provided in the slider base enables the slider to be maintained in a normally engaged, locked position. By pushing the slider in, toward to the slider base, for example, with a finger or thumb, the slider can be disengaged from the slider base and moved up or down. The assembly can also include a mounting bracket for fixedly securing the assembly to a wall. The mounting bracket can engage the slider base and can be configured to enable the slider base to be adjusted horizontally with respect to the mounting bracket. The hanger assembly can be adjusted both vertically and horizontally after being fixedly secured to a wall.

A hanging system and a method of hanging a support structure from a support surface. The hanging system may include a support structure and a hanging bracket for hanging the support structure from a support surface such as a wall. The support structure may include a mounting groove that accepts a portion of the hanging bracket to facilitate the coupling therebetween. The support structure may be able to slide side-to-side along the support surface while remaining coupled to the hanging bracket. The hanging system may alternatively, or additionally, include a reinforcement bracket. The reinforcement bracket may serve the dual purpose of holding the various mitered components of the support structure together and facilitating the hanging of the support structure from the support surface.
