  • Patent number: 10786097
    Abstract: A wall hanging device for marking the location of wall mounting fasteners is provided. The wall hanging device intrinsically locates connection points along a wall that correspond with connection points along an article to be hung on the wall. The systemic device provides two opposing surfaces, each surface providing corresponding guide markings. Each surface also has adhesive elements so that the device can first be adhered to the article and then transferred to the wall by way of urging the article against the wall, thereby ensuring that one or more preselected connection points along the article, first associated with one surface's guide marking(s), are intrinsically located on the wall by way of the other surface's corresponding guide markings after pulling away the article, leaving the temporarily adhered device to the wall. The device also provides a foldable pocket for capturing debris resulting from the installation of the mounting fasteners.
