Abstract: There is disclosed a hanging device for being secured to a brick. The device has an elongated member extending between a first end and a second end. The elongated member has a resiliently deformable section. The elongated member and the resiliently deformable section form a monolithic structure. A retaining structure is disposed on the elongated member between the first and second ends. Gripping members are each located at a respective one of the first and second ends of the elongated member and extend from the elongated member. The gripping members define abutting surfaces configured for contacting opposed sides of the brick. The abutting surfaces face each other and define a brick receiving space therebetween. A height of the brick receiving space is variable upon deformation of the resiliently deformable section. A method of supporting an object is also disclosed.

Abstract: A bracket for hanging a picture frame on a supporting structure. The bracket is a one-piece member formed of plastic having a pair of legs projecting perpendicularly from a bottom surface of a base and extending at right angles with respect to each other. The legs are spaced from a peripheral edge of the base forming a V-shaped planar portion between the edge and legs. A reinforcing member extends between the pair of legs and an attachment pin mounted in the reinforcing member extends outwardly beyond a top surface of the base. A pair of attachment pins is pressed into the supporting structure to suspend the frame therefrom after two of the brackets are secured in upper right hand corners of the frame.

Abstract: A bracket is engageable with an object to position the object relative to a support structure. The bracket has a body having at least one peripheral wall defining a wall surface. The body has a flange extending outwardly from the wall surface of the at least one peripheral wall and has an outer surface and an opposed inner surface. The flange is insertable into a channel of the object to engage the bracket with the object. The flange has at least one resilient member extending away from at least one of the inner and outer surfaces of the flange. The at least one resilient member is resiliently displaceable toward said surface of the flange upon the flange being inserted into the channel to abut the at least one resilient member against a surface of the channel. The bracket also has a position element extending outwardly from the body.

Abstract: A hanging device attachable to overlapping siding members to support an object. The hanging device includes a support portion having a body defining an outer surface and an inner surface. A retaining structure is on the outer surface of the body to support the object. A support protrusion extends outwardly from the inner surface of the body to abut against one of the siding members. An attachment portion has a first end attached to the body of the support portion and extends from the body to a second end. The second end has an engagement member being insertable between the siding members at a joint formed therebetween. The attachment portion has a curved segment along at least part of a length of the attachment portion defined between the first and second ends.

Abstract: A sheet hanging device is configured to attach a sheet of material (e.g., a poster) to a substrate (e.g., a wall) without causing any damage to the sheet or the substrate. The sheet hanging device includes a magnet and a metal member disc. The metal member disc is releasably attached to the substrate via adhesive. The magnet is carried by body member, and may be attached to an insert. The sheet is secured between the magnet and the metal disc as the two are brought together to create an attraction therebetween.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for hanging objects on a supporting wall includes a bracket with an outwardly extending shelf for supporting engagement with the object. A flange extends upwardly from the bracket and is secured by a fastener to the object. A marking device is removably mounted in an aperture formed in the bracket and has a sharp marking element extending therefrom. After the bracket is attached to the object by the fasteners and the marking element is positioned in the aperture, the object is pressed against the supporting wall at the desired hanging location whereupon the marking element marks the wall at the correct location for installing the hanging hardware. After the hanging hardware is installed at the marked locations, it is subsequently received in the bracket aperture after the marking element is removed therefrom to hang the object on the hanging hardware.
