  • Mounting device and method
    Patent number: 7086202
    Abstract: A mounting assembly for mounting objects such as a fireplace mantel to a wall. The assembly includes a ledger strip for mounting on a wall and one or more mounting devices that are located on the mantel. Each mounting device includes a plunger slideably mounted within a main body and coupled to the mantel, and a compressible member cooperating with the plunger. The compressible member allows the mantel to be positioned on the wall when the mounting device is rested on the ledger strip. The compressible member allows the ledger strip to be quickly attached to the wall without highly-precise measurement, and the mantel to be accurately and securely positioned yet easily adjusted.
