Abstract

A method and system of securing an object on a wall is disclosed. The method and system allows for easily hanging a plurality of different sized items, at a specific height. The method and system utilizes a wall mounted hanger that comprises a base with a pin extending outwardly and downwardly from the back, and a shelf or other object secured to the front. Further, the orthogonal distance from the base to the shelf determines the positions of the pin, and a user inserts the pins in the base based on this measured distance. Then, the user fully inserts the pins into the wall such that the base is flush against the wall. As downward force and force against the wall is increased, the base is forced more tightly against the wall, thereby negating any potential failure of the base attachment to the wall and also negating any wall damage.

Claims

1. A method for securing an object on a surface comprising:

establishing a location on the surface for object height as measured from the ground;

utilizing an object comprising a base;

wherein the base comprises a front and a back surface, at least one fastener extending outwardly and downwardly from the back surface, and a shelf secured to the front surface;

determining an orthogonal distance from the back surface of the base to a terminal point of the shelf;

multiplying the determined orthogonal distance by approximately 1.5 to determine at what position to place the at least one fastener on the back surface of the base; and

inserting the at least one fastener at the determined position on the back surface of the base.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the base comprises two fasteners extending outwardly and downwardly from the back surface.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the two fasteners are spaced apart at a distance equal to approximately one inch.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the two fasteners comprise a diameter of approximately between 0.05 and 0.09 inches.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the two fasteners protrude from the back of the base at a length of approximately between ¼

and 1.0 inch.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the two fasteners form an angle of approximately between 20 and 40 degrees with the back surface of the base.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

extending height of the base in a vertical direction down past the shelf;

fully inserting the at least one fastener in the surface such that the back surface of the base is flush against the surface; and

hanging the object from the surface without damaging the surface.

8. A method for securing an object on a wall comprising:

establishing a location on the wall for object height;

utilizing an object comprising a base;

wherein the base comprises a front and a back surface, at least one pin extending outwardly and downwardly from the back surface, and a shelf secured to the front surface; and

wherein the at least one pin forms a pin angle of approximately between 20 and 40 degrees with the back surface;

determining an orthogonal distance from the back surface of the base to a terminal point of the shelf;

multiplying the determined orthogonal distance by approximately 1.5 to determine at what position to place the at least one pin on the back surface of the base; and

inserting the at least one pin at the determined position on the back surface of the base.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the base comprises two pins extending outwardly and downwardly from the back surface.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the two pins are spaced apart at a distance equal to approximately one inch.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the two pins comprise a pin diameter of approximately between 0.05 and 0.09 inches.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the two pins protrude from the back of the base at a pin length of approximately between ¼

and 1.0 inch.

13. The method of claim 8, further comprising extending height of the base in a vertical direction down past the shelf;

and fully inserting the at least one pin in the wall such that the back surface of the base is flush against the wall.

14. A wall mounted hanger system comprising:

a base comprising a front and a back surface;

at least one pin extending outwardly and downwardly from the back surface;

a shelf secured to the front surface; and

an orthogonal distance from the back surface of the base to a terminal point of the shelf;

wherein said at least one pin is positioned on the back surface of the base at a distance measured from a point where the shelf meets the base, vertically upwards to approximately one and one half times the orthogonal distance.

15. The wall mounted hanger system of claim 14, wherein the base comprises two pins extending outwardly and downwardly from the back surface.

16. The wall mounted hanger system of claim 15, wherein the two pins are spaced apart at a distance equal to approximately one inch.

17. The wall mounted hanger system of claim 16, wherein the two pins comprise a pin diameter of approximately between 0.05 and 0.09 inches.

18. The wall mounted hanger system of claim 17, wherein the two pins protrude from the back of the base at a pin length of approximately between ¼

and 1.0 inch.

19. The wall mounted hanger system of claim 18, wherein the two pins form a pin angle of approximately between 20 and 40 degrees with the back surface of the base.

20. The wall mounted hanger system of claim 14, wherein the base comprises four pins extending outwardly and downwardly from the back surface of the base and spaced at opposite ends of the base.
