Abstract: A paste filled suction cup allows a platform to hold objects onto non-smooth surfaces. Laser levels and other devices can be affixed to this platform so that they can be quickly and easily placed on a wall. The action of the paste in the suction cup allows the suction cup to provide a temporary bond to the surface. The use of a water-soluble paste makes it easy to clean the wall after removing the suction cup. The paste also lets the platform be positioned by keeping it in the pasted area.

Abstract: Objects hung with the improved hook & cord loop hanging system uses one or more adjustable hooks for changing the length of one or more flexible cord loops. This hanging system is an improvement over the hangers described in patent 5,947,438. Each improved hanger can either be affixed to the object or to the surface the object is being hung on. The cord loop or loops interface with various supports connecting to or affixed to the object or to the surface when the hanger is on the object. The single hook and single cord configuration provides vertical adjustability by shortening the length of the cord through the turning of the screw the adjustable hook is ridding on. A single hook and double cord configuration provides support and locking for the object. A double hook and double cord configuration provides vertical ajdustability and locking capability These hangers can be used alone for small objects or in pairs for larger or heavier objects.

Abstract: A threadlike retainer cord is used to bring a flat nut inserted through a surface or wall into position with the hole in the surface for a screw to mate with the threads in the nut. This fastening system provides a simple way to fasten objects together without having access to both sides. The retainer cord has elongated ends that are larger than the holes they are put through. The nut is put horizontally through the hole in the wall and rotates 90 degrees after dropping through the hole. The nut is pulled into position over the hole by the cord. In one case the cord goes through a hollow screw while the opposite end is through the threaded hole in the nut. Another possibility is using small holes on both sides of the threaded hole in the nut. The cord is looped through these two holes and aligns the threaded hole in the nut with the hole in the wall when the cord is pulled. This makes it easy to mate a screw with the nut.

Abstract: An electrical shock process is applied to a person for the deactivation of biological contaminates within the tissue and blood of the person. A shock array of electrodes is placed on the person and a series of shocks is applied to the desired site. The shocks penetrate the tissue and blood where they interact with and deactivate various contaminates. Small shock arrays applied to the skin can be used for the treatment of insect bites while larger ones are used for the topical treatment of the entire being. Internally implanted shock arrays can also be used for the direct treatment of blood and vital organs.

Abstract: A flexible hanging system uses a compressive force-producing component such as an elastomeric cord or spring for locking an object on the wall. It makes use of simple brackets and an elastomeric cord. This cord provides compressive force and keeps the weight of the object on the hanger body. This elastomeric cord provides a flexible compressive force on the object and on the wall mounted hanger body. This compressive force normally locks the object so that it does not move or tilt due to normal vibrations. However, during severe vibrations, such as during a seismic event, the elastomeric spring forces allow the object to move and to counter the effects of the vibratory forces experienced by the object.

Abstract: This hanging system uses a compressive force-producing component such as an elastomeric cord or spring for locking an object on the wall. It makes use of simple brackets and two cords. One cord is flexible but has very little stretch capability. This cord holds the weight of the object while the elastomeric cord provides a flexible compressive force on the object and on the wall brackets. This compressive force normally locks the object so that it does not move or tilt due to normal vibrations. However, during severe vibrations, such as during a seismic event, the elastomeric spring forces allow the object to move and to counter the effects of the vibratory forces experienced by the object.

Abstract: This system is used for hanging and locking objects onto a single wall support with two interconnected cord loops. The loops go over the support affixed to a wall and hold the object in a stable leveled position. Initial slack in the interconnected loops has them extended above the top of the object for placing the loops on the support in full view. Removal of the slack in the loops raises the object above the wall support. A complete reduction in the slack locks the object onto the support.

Abstract: This hanging system utilizes one or more brackets mounted to a surface and one or more hanger bodies attached to a picture or other similar objects. The bracket supports either a lip on the hanger body, threaded screws, or hooks on screws in the hangers for supporting and positioning the object, and to lock the object onto the bracket with a spring actuated hook.

Abstract: Flexing-T fasteners that are to be used to hold objects on walls and ceilings require that a hole be made prior to inserting the fastener. A drill is usually used to make these holes. The Self-Drilling fastener has a drilling tip at the end opposite the flexing end. This improvement allows the fastener to make its own hole without the need of a drill.

Abstract: Picture frames and frame bases attached to pictures that are able to be mounted flush against a wall are described. Special recessed areas and frame connections make contact with one or more special wall brackets. The wall brackets are anchored into the wall and are connected to the frame in a number of ways. One of the ways is with the use of a screw that has a threaded bar moving on it. The screw goes through the top of the frame and is locked to the inside face of the frame so that it remains in place when the screw is turned. When the screw is turned the threaded bar moves into a recess in the wall bracket and pushes the picture up until the picture bottom hits a second wall bracket. This second bracket locks the picture onto the wall. The embodiments presented demonstrate various other means of locking the picture flush against the wall, as well as, means for leveling and adjusting the position of the picture.

Abstract: One or more horizontal brackets mounted to a surface provide support, positioning, and locking when one or more hanger bodies with adjustable hooks are attached to the back of a picture or other object so that the hooks grab onto the brackets. The brackets are beveled to provide space for the hooks between the surface and the bracket. The upward and downward facing hooks on the hangers move vertically along screws and hook onto the top and bottom of the horizontal brackets. The downward facing hooks that grab onto the top of the bracket provide support and horizontal positioning by sliding along the length of the bracket. They also position the picture to the desired height and make it level. The upward facing hooks that grab onto the bottom of the brackets lock the picture onto the brackets.

Abstract: This invention deals with a system of hanging pictures onto a wall with a number of interconnected cord loops. The loops go over supports affixed to a wall and hold the picture in a stable and level position. The interconnection of the loops provides precise leveling. The system also allows for the hanging of pictures from the bottom of the frame. The forces on the corner fasteners are removed by this method.

Abstract: This invention deals with a hanging system that utilizes one or more brackets mounted to a surface and one or more hanger bodies attached to a picture or other similar objects. The brackets hold a lip or ridge on the hanger body, or threaded hooks on screws in the hangers, in a way that allows them to be positioned horizontally along the brackets, to position the picture up or down, to level it (when three or more hooks are used), and to lock the picture onto the brackets.

Abstract: Pictures and picture backs that provide a self-leveling picture support for a stable wall hanging. The back is designed for the easy removal of an easel flap and its holder. The back also has a series of holes for a cord to be looped through so that two loops can be used when hanging the picture on a wall. The cord is able to slide and allow the picture to be hung perfectly level. The easel flap is designed to be a template for the screws in the wall. This allows the screws to be installed at the proper location on the wall. The cord loops allow the picture to be positioned until it is level by having on loop get shorter while the other loop gets longer. The easel holder can be removed and is stored in a slot at the bottom of the back. This keeps all the components together and helps to keep the picture stable and parallel to the wall.
