OVER-THE-DOOR HANGING APPARATUS

摘要

An apparatus for hanging an article from a door. In one aspect, the apparatus can include a mounting system that can be used to hang a mirror, piece of art, or other article from a door without the need for a screw driver or any other tools. The mounting system may include one or more elongate members that are hung from a top edge of the door and that include mounting elements that mount to separate mounting elements that are secured to the article. The mounting may be achieved via one or more of relative rotation of the elongate members and the article and relative horizontal translation of the elongate members and the article. The inventive apparatus may permit multiple hanging heights for individualized optimization.

主权项

1. An over-the-door hanging apparatus comprising:
a support structure extending along a longitudinal axis and having a rear surface; a first mounting element pair coupled to the rear surface of the support structure, the first mounting element pair comprising a first mounting element and a second mounting element, each of the first and second mounting elements comprising a curved channel; a first elongate member comprising a first surface, an opposite second surface, a first mounting element and a second mounting element protruding from the first surface of the first elongate member, and a first bracket protruding from the second surface of the first elongate member for engaging a top edge of a door; the support structure and the first elongate member coupled together by simultaneously: (1) rotating the first mounting element of the first elongate member through the curved channel of the first mounting element of the first mounting element pair; and (2) rotating the second mounting element of the first elongate member through the curved channel of the second mounting element of the first mounting element pair.
