Abstract: A reuseable self securing plastic holding device for mounting onto a smooth clean polished surface and having a particular physical arrangement which absorbs and dissipates the sheer forces exerted thereupon by a held object.

Abstract: A reusable self securing plastic holding device for mounting onto a clean smooth surface and having a particular structure which contributes substantial load bearing capacity in being particularly adapted to resist shear force or peel back.

Abstract: An adhesive holding device for fastening a flat rigid back surface of an object to a relatively rough flat wall includes a first sheet of PVC having an outwardly facing surface covered with pressure sensitive adhesive material affixed to the object, a relatively thick, resilient, compressible, flat pad affixed to the wall, and a second sheet of relatively thin, flexible material affixed to the outwardly facing surface of the pad. An outwardly facing surface of the second sheet is mutually adhered to the inwardly facing surface of the first sheet. To remove the object from the wall without damage to either, the object is forced away from the wall to break the mutual adhering forces between the first and second sheets.

Abstract: A surface mounted article holding device adhesively attached to a supporting surface, the device havng a thin flexible surface attaching layer from which for removal of the device, the remainder of the device is first detached and subsequently the thin layer is peeled from the surface, the device including a relatively thin web connecting the wall attaching portion of the device with a depending article holding portion thereof, the web being forwardly of the body portion and remote from the engagement of the body portion with the supporting surface, the thickness of the shoulder forming a barrier to inhibit peel back of the edges of the body portion adjacent the holding surface and thus increasing substantially the otherwise holding capacity of the device.

Abstract: A demountable article holding device having a body portion adhesively coated for attachment to a supporting surface and having an intermediate portion thereof formed as a depending flap and having a rigid member therein having an article holding member secured thereto, the rigid member being particularly adapted to center upon the device the stress of the load held.

Abstract: A photographic print and display device comprising a unitary transparent member having a self formed base, a body portion upstanding from the base at less than a right angle thereto, a self formed upper marginal portion reversely angled to retain the upper edge portion of a photographic print, a portion struck from the base bendable on an axis at right angles to body portion and being adjacent thereto and supporting it and the print retained thereby at an angle less than a right angle.

Abstract: A surface mount for removably adhesively attaching an object to a supporting surface, the mount being separable for the ready removal of the object held with a readily separable outward portion of the mount and the remainder of the mount being subsequently carefully removed from the supporting surface free of the held object.

Abstract: An article holding device consisting of a layered structure having a resilient core layer of relatively substantial thickness deformable under pressure for complete contact with a supporting surface, a holding member carried by said core layer, a thin non-stretchable layer at each side of said core layer rendering said core layer relatively inflexible, one of said thin layers having an outer adhesive surface whereby the load carried by said device is spread throughout the full extent thereof and said device is adapted to have its several layers separable removable for removal of the device from a supporting surface without marring or damaging such surface.
