    Abstract: An adhesion method for a wall hanger paster and a base comprises the steps: spreading liquid glue or dissolvent on the center of the bottom face of the base or melting the bottom face of the base with instant high heat; bending the paster to be an arc shape; and pressing the paster toward the bottom face of the base, the bulgiest point of the center of an arc face connecting to the base, and then gradually pressing the paster to make the paster and the base gradually stick together. An adhesion device for a wall hanger and a base comprises an upper mold and a lower mold. The upper mold has a paster clamping board having holes, a clamping trough, a base holding board having pillars, and the center place of the base holding board having a base installed groove corresponding to the fixing place of the paster.

  • Patent number: 7416160
    Abstract: The present invention provides for a coupling assembly for releasably connecting a trash container with a fixed object, such as a wall or cabinet. The coupling assembly acts to prevent the trash container from being easily tipped onto its side, while allowing user to easily disconnect the trash container from the fixed object. The coupling apparatus includes a first coupling connected with the fixed object a second coupling member connected with the trash container. The second coupling member includes an extended portion adapted to be received within a pocket on the first coupling member. The coupling assembly can be configured to work with trash containers having different shapes and sizes. The trash container can also include a lid further restrict access to the inside of the trash container. As described below, a latch or clasp can also be used to selectively lock the lid in closed position.

  • Publication number: 20080197246
    Abstract: An adapter includes a rigid plate which has a plurality of fastener elements extending from one side. The fastener elements align with fastener-receiving holes formed in a member heretofore intended to receive fasteners for mounting the member on a supporting surface. An exposed side of the plate has pressure sensitive adhesive for securing the member to a support surface eliminating the use of fasteners extending directly from the member into the support surface. Preferably, the plate fastener elements are self-clinching and are press-fitted in the plate and have threaded bores for receiving fasteners which extend through the usual mounting holes formed in the base of the member to secure the plate to the member eliminating the use of screws for attaching the member to a support surface.

  • Patent number: 7284734
    Abstract: A hanger comprising a base having a supported surface adapted to be positioned along a generally vertical surface, and an elongate peg having one end mounted on the base with a portion of the peg projecting from an outer surface of the base opposite its supported surface generally at a right angle with respect to the supported surface of the base. The peg has an axially extending surface portion adapted to be positioned uppermost when the supported surface of the base is positioned along a generally vertical surface, which axially extending surface portion restricts free movement axially of the peg of sheets of paper around and hanging on the peg. That axially extending surface portion can be defined by a layer of adhesive on the peg or by closely spaced sharp edges on the peg. Such sharp edges could be on screw threads around the peg, ridges extending transversely across the peg, serrations formed on the peg, or by abrasive granules adhered along the peg.

  • Patent number: 7257925
    Abstract: A system for mounting a member such as a rail to a support surface such as a floor, made of a precast concrete material, without penetrating the floor. The rail mounting system includes a base plate secured to the upper surface of the floor via an adhesive, with one or more connectors extending upwardly from the base plate. An anchor plate is secured to the rail, and adjustment screws are interconnected with the rail for adjusting the elevation of the rail relative to the base plate. When the desired elevation of the rail is attained, engagement members such as nuts are secured to the threaded connectors extending upwardly from the base plate, to fix the height of the anchor plate, and thereby the rail. A grout layer is then applied between the base plate and the anchor plate. After the grout layer is set, the leveling screws are removed and a topping layer of concrete is applied over the components of the mounting system so as to encapsulate the base plate, the anchor plate and the engagement members.
