  • Patent number: 7814675
    Abstract: An apparatus for aiding in hanging an object on a wall comprises an elongate horizontal bar having a longitudinal axis and a top surface and at least two holders slideable on the bar along the longitudinal axis. Each of the holders includes at least one projection for holding an object hanger at the desired mounting location while a fastener is used to mount the object hanger on the wall. The assembly may optionally include at least one level mechanism for indicating when the apparatus is level. Positioning at least two of the at least two holders spaced apart from each other on the bar allows for properly positioning and mounting the object hangers held by the projections at the desired locations on the wall.

  • Publication number: 20090223064
    Abstract: A hand tool made up of a handle member and a tool clamp member where the handle member is made to receive the tool clamp member by engaging a flat surfaced extension of the tool clamp member with a mating hole in the handle member. The flat surfaced extension is tapered in shape and matches with a tapered hole in the handle providing a rigid fit when the handle member and tool clamp member are pressed together. The rigid fit of the two pieces is achieved by elastic properties of the handle member against the externally tapered flat surfaced extension of the tool clamp. The tool clamp provides means to uses replaceable blades or other tools to maintain the tool in good working condition while in use.
