  • Patent number: 6186466
    Abstract: Disclosed is a simple and easy to use device for stabilizing the position of a frame or other object hanging on a wall. The invention includes a small flat panel or medium having a pointed pin or other fastener protruding from one surface. An adhesive is provided on the opposite surface. The invention is designed for use in conjunction with a frame that has already been prepared for hanging on a wall (i.e., a hook, wire, bracket or other hanging means has already been attached to the frame). The device is installed by removing the frame from the wall and placing it face down on a flat surface. The adhesive surface of the invention is then affixed to the back of the frame, preferably near the bottom, such that the pointed pin is protruding up and away from the frame. The frame with device installed is then taken to the wall and hanged. Next, the frame is adjusted and straightened so that it is in the desired position.
