A self-locking device for hanging objects on a mounting surface is disclosed. The self-locking device includes a mounting bracket and a locking arm member engaged with a track portion of the mounting bracket. The track portion comprising a pair of guide portions, a pair of lip portions extending from a lower end of the guide portions, a pair of rotation portions extending from an upper end of the guide portions, and a slot extending between the pairs of guide portions, lip portions and rotation portions. The arm member being mated with the track portion such that the arm member is translatable along the track portion. The arm member comprising a tip portion, a base portion positioned at least partially within the slot, and at least one pair of projections extending from the base portion that engage with one of the pairs of guide portions, lip portions and rotation portions.

A bracket assembly adapted to be removably coupled to a railing at a first side and hold a portion of a container at a second side can comprise a lower section and an upper section removably coupled to the lower section. The upper section can be a bent strip that forms a receptacle to receive the portion of the container, and the lower section can include a body in the form of a second bent strip, and a fixed connection post extending from an upper surface of the body to interface with an opening in the connection interface of the upper section to removably couple the upper section to the lower section via the at least one fastener. The platform section can include a first step and a second step each extending from the connection interface to respective ones of the retaining arms.

A planter for detachably affixing and securing a pot and plant in a vertical orientation relative to a tree, the planter adapted to allow the tree to grow through the planter and blend in with surrounding vegetation.

A magnetic wall-mounted assembly includes: an anchor configured to be secured to a wall; a spacer configured to be magnetically coupled to the anchor; a base configured to be magnetically coupled to the spacer; and one or more decorative items configured to be magnetically coupled to the base. Alternatively, a magnetic wall-mounted assembly includes: an integral anchor-spacer component secured to a wall and extending away from the wall; a base configured to be magnetically coupled to the integral anchor-spacer component; and one or more decorative items configured to be magnetically coupled to the base. One or more decorative items preferably is configured to receive and retain an air plant. The base may have a triangular, circular, or rectangular profile. Preferably, a plurality of bases of different profiles and sizes are provided, each of which is configured to be magnetically coupled to the same spacer or integral anchor-spacer component.

A compliant railing bracket system in which useful or decorative items may be attached to various structural members without the use of fasteners, while utilizing a snap-fit method. The design utilizes a geometric configuration such that the bracket encompasses 3 faces of a rectangular structural member utilizing a cantilever snap-lock geometry to engage with the 4.sup.th face creating a secure snap-fit junction. The bracket system may include modular attachment points such as dovetails or come as a pre-formed body with accommodations for various useful items such as flower box brackets, flower pots, solar light mounts, hooks, pegs, rings, tools and utensils.

A bracket assembly adapted to be removably coupled to a railing at a first side and hold a portion of a container at a second side can comprise a lower section and an upper section removably coupled to the lower section. The upper section can be a bent strip that forms a receptacle to receive the portion of the container, and the lower section can include a body in the form of a second bent strip, and a fixed connection post extending from an upper surface of the body to interface with an opening in the connection interface of the upper section to removably couple the upper section to the lower section via the at least one fastener. The platform section can include a first step and a second step each extending from the connection interface to respective ones of the retaining arms.

A trellis comprising a receiving section (2), a trellis structure (3) and a base section (4). The base section has an elongate main form, parts of which can be positioned between the bearing section of a saddle-type planter and the retaining structure. The trellis structure (3) is fixed in position on the base section (4) so that it extends upwards relative to the base section (4).

A removable plant holder system in a first embodiment having at least one first plant holder assembly having a coupling-frame, an extension arm-member having a proximate end, and a distal end; wherein the plant holder system includes the at least one first plant holder assembly. The at least one first plant holder assembly is defined by the coupling-frame and the extension arm-member integrally combined for use. As such the extension arm-member is defined by the proximate end attached to the coupling-frame, and the distal end is thus able to act in a capacity for hanging a plant therefrom; the coupling-frame configured for removable attachment with a railed deck.

A shelving apparatus made of a frame that can be removably attached to the upward portion of a barrier structure with a support extending outwardly from the upward attachment so as to maintain different angles of the support relative to the ground and to be operable to move the downward attachment in a range of motion between positions forward and rearward of the upward of dimensions of different barrier structures

Organizational systems and associated components and methods for garages, sheds, basements or other spaces that have exposed wall or ceiling elongated members are provided. One such component includes a bracket having a first wall, a second wall facing the first wall and spaced apart from the first wall, and a third wall interconnecting the first and second walls. The first, second and third walls cooperatively define a channel for receiving the elongated member. The bracket includes an interface for releasable attachment of a storage component to the bracket. A clamp foot is movably coupled to the first wall. The clamp foot is translatable between an engaged position and a released position to respectively engage and release the elongated member received in the channel.
