Patent number: 11096491Abstract: A system and a method for hanging an article from a support surface. The article may be a cabinet, such as a medicine cabinet or the like, although the system described herein may be used for hanging any type of article from a support surface such as a wall. The system uses a surface mounting element that is coupled to the support surface and a cam lock that is slidably coupled to the article to hang the article from the support surface by coupling the surface mounting element to the cam lock. Because the cam lock is slidably coupled to the article, the article can move horizontally along the support surface without separating the article from the support surface.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2018Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Inventors: Michael Lee Pyle, Steven Patrick McGowan, Matthew Scott Kressin, Richard Joseph Ehrhardt, Robert Terry Coyle, Jr.
