Abstract: An assembly for securing an article with a support member affixed or integral thereto to a mounting surface. The assembly includes first and second members having means for detachably coupling together the first and second members through magnetic field interaction therebetween. The ffirst member includes means for detachably coupling to the support member of the article. The second member includes means for securing to the mounting surface, and a hook portion that receives the support member of the article. During use, the first member is coupled to the support member of the article, and the second member is secured to the mounting surface at a desired position. The first and second members are guided and coupled together by magnetic field interaction therebetween. The support member is then decoupled from the first member and moved such that it engages and is supported by the hook portion of the second member.

Abstract: A tool-less system for securing items to a wall or other support structure includes a first part and a second part. The first part includes an elongate hand-holdable plate with a rear portion extending rearward from said plate. The rear portion has a helical threaded interface for screwing into the wall or other support structure by hand manipulation of the plate. The second part includes a support portion and a rear-facing track. The support portion mechanically supports at least one article during use. The track has a slot for receiving the plate of the first part and a narrow opening extending lengthwise along the slot to allow passage of the rear portion of the first part therethrough during use. Hand manipulation is used to secure the first part to the wall, and the first part is used as an anchor to mechanically support the second part as the track slidably receives the elongate plate of first part.
