Abstract: A hanging system and a method of hanging a support structure from a support surface. The hanging system may include a support structure and a hanging bracket for hanging the support structure from a support surface such as a wall. The support structure may include a mounting groove that accepts a portion of the hanging bracket to facilitate the coupling therebetween. The support structure may be able to slide side-to-side along the support surface while remaining coupled to the hanging bracket. The hanging system may alternatively, or additionally, include a reinforcement bracket. The reinforcement bracket may serve the dual purpose of holding the various mitered components of the support structure together and facilitating the hanging of the support structure from the support surface.

Abstract: The present invention provides a horizontal instrument, a supporting device and a method for adjusting the bearing surface of the supporting device to be horizontal. The horizontal instrument in the present invention is used for maintaining a bearing surface parallel to a horizontal plane, wherein the horizontal instrument comprises a slide-swing assembly, and a monitoring assembly, when the monitoring assembly detects that the bearing surface is not parallel to the horizontal plane, the controller instructs the driving unit to drive the slider to slide, which leads the lower end of the swinging rod to slide, and then drives the swinging rod to swing, thereby, the upper end of the swinging rod drives the bearing surface to rotate for an angle so that the bearing surface is maintained parallel to the horizontal plane.
Abstract: A device is provided which assists the positioning of wall mounted articles in their preferred orientation and stabilizing them to prevent them moving. The device comprises female and male components, each of which include mating features and magnetic elements that facilitate aligning, mating and attracting the female and male components together when the device is assembled. In a method of using the device to position and stabilize an article, such as a framed picture, on a generally vertically oriented structure, such as a wall, each of the female and male components is affixed to a respective one of the back of the article and the wall such that their mating features are exposed and align and mate with one another, and the magnetic elements attract one another, thereby holding the components together, as well as holding the article to the generally vertically oriented structure in a preferred orientation.
Abstract: A gutter hanger includes a main body; a rear clip at a first end of the main body; a front hook at a second end of the body; at least one guide tab extending from the main body, the at least one guide tab sized and positioned to align a drive tool relative to the main body.
Abstract: A roller assembly for facilitating the drawing of a cable along a cable tray having a transversely-extending strut includes one roller having a rotation axis and an elongated attachment portion having a cross-sectional shape which is substantially U-shaped in form. The attachment portion is positionable about the transversely-extending strut of the cable tray by directing the opening of the U of the cross-sectional shape of the attachment portion over the strut. A fastener is used to bind the attachment portion to the strut. A second roller can mounted upon the attachment portion for rotation about an axis which is substantially normal to the rotation axis of the one roller for use at a corner or curve of the tray, and the componentry of the assembly facilitates the construction of a roller-bearing apparatus providing a multi-sided passageway through which a cable can be drawn.
Abstract: A notebook computer leg support apparatus for securing a notebook computer on one leg includes a base and a pair of foldable legs coupled to the base. Each leg is hingingly coupled to the base left side and the base right side, respectively, and moves between an extended position substantially perpendicular to the base and a folded position adjacent a base bottom side. The legs in the extended position are configured to receive a user's thigh therebetween. An arm has an arm proximal end hingingly coupled to the base backside adjacent the base top side, an arm distal end, an arm left edge, an arm right edge, an arm inner side, and an arm outer side. The arm distal end is hooked and configured to secure a screen of a notebook computer. The arm moves between a use position and a store position.
Abstract: The combination of: an electronic device having a monitor; and a support assembly made up of a collection of components. A first plurality of the components can be selectively changed between: a) a first state wherein at least two of the components in the first plurality of components are separated from each other and a third component; and b) a second state wherein the first plurality of components cooperatively define a first support assembly configuration with a device support surface to elevate the supported device. The first plurality of components is changeable between the first and second states without requiring use of any fasteners.
