Safety Wall Hanger

Abstract

A device and method for securing objects of almost any sizes and shapes to a wall is disclosed.

A hanger comprising a length of cord suitable for the size of object to be hung, a hook shaped block with screw mounting holes, a thru hole, perpendicular and slightly below to the mounting holes for passing the length of cord, and a slot parallel to the thru hole . The thru hole and the slot should be of the same size, slightly larger than diameter of the cord.

The block is mounted to a wall by screws or other means such as double sided tape, rail mount system, peg board hook etc.

The cord of suitable length for the object is inserted into the thru hole and knotted on both end. With one of the knot resting against one side of the device, the rest of the cord is then looped on the object to be hung and then inserted into the slot, letting the other knot resting against the other side of the device.

Claims

1. A device for hanging objects to a wall comprising: anchor block means having mounting holes, cord anchor hole perpendicular to the mounting holes, a slot the same width as the anchor hole; a length of cord passed thru the anchor hole and knotted on both ends.

2. A device of claim 1 where the anchor block can be made of metal such as aluminum, steel, brass etc., high strength plastic such as ABS, acetal, poly carbonate, etc., or any other strong materials.

3. A device of claim 1, where the anchor block has a wall mounting means such as screw holes, rail mounting system, peg board mount, double sided tape or any other types of mounting means.

4. A device of claim 1 where the anchor block has at least one thru hole perpendicular to the mounting holes axis, with a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the cord to be used

5. The anchor block has at least one slot parallel to the cord hole, same width as the diameter of the hole.

6. One or both end of the slot of claim 5 may be counter-bored to accommodate cord knot to provide a locked position whence to release the cord, the cord has to be lifted to free the knot from the counter-bored hole.

7. One or both end of the slot of claim 5 may be left flat, so when the knot is in this position, it can be easily slid to release.

8. One end of the slot of claim 5 is counter-bored while the other end is flat, to provide easy off and locked positions.

9. The cord can be high strength cord such as parachute cord, braided/twisted nylon rope etc.

10. The cord of claim 9 can also be elastic cord such as bungee type cords.

11. The cord of claim 9 passed thru the hole, knotted on both ends, to fit the size of the object to be hung.

12. The cord of claim 9 can be knotted in multiple positions to accommodate objects of different sizes.

13. When not mounted to a wall, the device of claim 1, with bungee cord can be used as reconfigurable/reusable tie wrap.
