  • Patent number: 7350312
    Abstract: Markers for mounting objects such as picture frames, mirrors, shelves and the like, to desired locations on a wall type surface without causing unnecessary holes to the wall surface. The markers can include target patches with target indicia such as crossed hairs, and bulls-eye patterns. The target patches can have a first adhesive side that is temporarily placed on mounting locations on the rear side of the object. The object with the target patches then is oriented and positioned to a desired optimum location on the wall and then pressed against the wall. Another adhesive side of the target patch that is stronger in adhesion than the first side allows for the target patch to transfer to the wall surface and remain on the wall surface. Nail type fasteners, and the like, then are attached by the location of the target indicia into the wall. Next the object is placed and mounted to the wall mounted fasteners so that the object can then hang from the wall mounted fasteners.
