Abstract: An article is attached to a wall by mounting the article on at least one and preferably two or more holders which are in turn screwed to the wall. Each holder has a self-adhesive layer at its end face adjacent the wall and at least one screw hole for fixing it to the wall. The arrangement is such that the holders can be provisionally mounted on the article and then pressed against the wall in the desired position. The self-adhesive layers then temporarily secure the holders to the wall so that the article can be removed leaving the holders in the desired position on the wall. The screw holes in the holders are then used as a drilling jig for drilling the attachment holes in the wall. Screws are then inserted into the attachment holes, if necessary using wall plugs, and the article is then remounted on the holders. Provision is made for finally securing the article to the holders, for example by the use of spring loaded pins.

Abstract: A support rod is maintained in position by two load-bearing leaf springs disposed at each end of the rod. The leaf spring members are partially U-shaped in cross-section and the rod is maintained with a loop formed by the U and a back plate. This loop is under a predetermined tautness, the strength of which is created by presetting the tension of a coil spring on the upper flat portion of the load-bearing leaf spring member from which the U-shaped section extends. When an overload is placed upon the support rod, the weight causes the rod to move the U-shaped section of the leaf spring outwardly which thereupon releases the rod from its engagement within the U-shaped loop. As a consequence, the rod will fall with the weight thereon under the force of gravity.
