Device to aid hanging of objects on an upright surface

摘要

A device and method for locating a hanger for an object on a vertical surface, in which an elongated strip with a breakpoint of reduced tensile strength indicates the precise point for placing the hanger. The elongated strip is adhered to the rear of the object such that the breakpoint or other marker aligns with the top of the D-hook, bracket, wire, or keyhole slot. The object is positioned on the wall and a downward pressure breaks the strip leaving an indication of where the hanger should be placed.

主权项

1. A device for locating a hanger on a surface, comprising:
a. an elongated strip having a front surface and a rear surface and a proximal portion and a distal portion with a breakpoint between said portions; b. a first adhesive disposed on at least a part of the front surface of the proximal portion of the strip; and c. a second adhesive disposed on at least a part of the front surface or the rear surface of the distal portion of the elongated strip; d. wherein an adhesive force of each of the first adhesive and the second adhesive is greater than a tensile strength of the breakpoint.
