20140231613 | Post stabilizer - A stabilizer which has general purpose use but which is particularly well suited for use with temporary real estate signs has an elongated body adapted for pivotal connection with a post for vertical swinging movement. A plurality of flanges or wings are spaced apart longitudinally at an opposite and free end of the body and define flat laterally extending anchoring surfaces. The free end of the stabilizer body is inserted into the soil on forceful downward swinging movement of the body and the lateral anchoring surfaces firmly secure the post against angular movement toward and away from the stabilizer. The stabilizer can be releasably stored in an upright position adjacent the post. | 08-21-2014 |
20150021454 | Autonomous Remote Anchor System - An autonomous remote anchor system for providing an anchor connector to a surface, such as a ground anchor for an unattended ground sensor is disclosed. An inflatable positioning structure is inflated and configured to orient an anchor assembly in a vertical orientation with respect to the ground or surface upon which it is disposed. Upon vertical orientation, an actuator in the anchor assembly, such as a voice coil, is energized and drives a hammer element that is slideably disposed in the housing, striking the upper surface of the anchor. The drive cycle is repeated, driving it into the surface until the depth of penetration is sensed by a load sensing element. | 01-22-2015 |

20080251682 | Wall Hanger - The invention provides a fastening element for fastening objects to a wall comprising a body ( | 10-16-2008 |
20080265123 | Locking wall hanger - The invention provides a locking wall hanger having a pointed end, which is designed to create the hole in the wall as the hanger is inserted therethrough. Whereas a self-boring tip penetrates the wall and embeds itself in the rear wall surface a mid-parabolic portion of the hanger is adjusted to provide a spring force for locking the hanger to the wall. In order to provide a maximum holding force, the hanger comprises reinforcement means. | 10-30-2008 |
20090294623 | System, Method and Apparatus for Attaching Items to a Wall - A tool-less system for securing items to a wall or other support structure includes a first part and a second part. The first part includes an elongate hand-holdable plate with a rear portion extending rearward from said plate. The rear portion has a helical threaded interface for screwing into the wall or other support structure by hand manipulation of the plate. The second part includes a support portion and a rear-facing track. The support portion mechanically supports at least one article during use. The track has a slot for receiving the plate of the first part and a narrow opening extending lengthwise along the slot to allow passage of the rear portion of the first part therethrough during use. Hand manipulation is used to secure the first part to the wall, and the first part is used as an anchor to mechanically support the second part as the track slidably receives the elongate plate of first part. | 12-03-2009 |
20150097100 | APPARATUS FOR SUSPENDING FIXTURES, SAID APPARATUS INCLUDING A RESILIENT PLASTIC TOP HAT PORTION - A bracket having a flange defining a through hole; a fastener having a pointed end, the pointed end being dimensioned to pass through the through hole, the other end being dimensioned to not pass through the through hole; a resilient plastic top hat having a cylindrical portion and a flange portion, the cylindrical portion being dimensioned to fit through the through hole and the flange portion being dimensioned to not fit through the through hole, the cylindrical portion being dimensioned to receive and elastically embrace a portion of the fastener, the flange portion of the resilient plastic top hat being located at the first side of the bracket flange and the fastener extending through the through hole into the cylindrical portion with the other end of the fastener being located at the other side. | 04-09-2015 |
20150308613 | SELF-PIERCING HANGING DEVICE - A device to hang articles includes a base defining a generally flat body to engage a mounting surface and a hook protruding therefrom to hang an article. The device also includes a bracket pivotally attached to the base at a proximal end of the bracket and a piercing arm extending from a distal end of the bracket. Also, the bracket is adapted to pivot between a first position relative to the base where the piercing arm is retracted from the mounting surface, and a second position relative to the base where the piercing arm is inserted into the mounting surface to retain the device thereto. | 10-29-2015 |

20140346310 | PICTURE FRAME HANGER - Present invention discloses a new upper-hook-section and lower-anchor-section hanger that overcomes the drawbacks of conventional upper-anchor-section and lower-hook-section hanger of prior art, as well as the drawbacks of upper-hook-section and lower-anchor-section hangers of U.S. Pat. No. 7,222,833 previously issued to author of present invention. Present invention also discloses a new dual-hooks hanger that has upper-hook-sections and lower-anchor-sections. Present invention also discloses a means for preassembling nail within hanger prior to mounting hanger to wall. | 11-27-2014 |
20150342374 | HANGER - A hanger, support and other component or system capable of supporting one or more objects is contemplated. The hanger may be configured to provide four-way adjustability sufficient to facilitate adjustably supporting objects after being affixed to a supporting surface and/or to facilitate adjustably supporting objects having a wire or other support member hidden from view or otherwise difficult to orientate relative to a support surface. The hanger may be configured to enable four-way re-positioning in an up, down, left or right direction, optionally while the one or more objects are supported thereon, without requiring removal or manipulation of fasteners anchoring it to a support. | 12-03-2015 |
20160045042 | Simple Center Wall Hanger - A secure, single-pivot hanger for picture frames or like objects. The invention includes a top-center alignment slot so it can quickly and accurately be placed directly over the object's, previously measured and marked, top midpoint. Adhesive on the hanger's back is used to hold the hanger in position on the object before being nailed in place. Two pre-located holes assure that fastener nails will be self-stabilized in an upright starting position and guided in a straight line as they are driven into the back of the object. Once attached, the hanger's catch lip and relief space will allow it to securely rest on a screw, anchor nail, or the like between the back of the hanging object and the vertical surface it is being suspended from. The hanger can easily and safely rotate around its single pivot point to adjust for final leveling. | 02-18-2016 |
