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 surface, a back surface, a top, and a bottom, and multiple holes positioned at various predetermined positions on the back surface, and a shelf secured to the bottom of the base;

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 at least one adjustable fastener at the determined position on the back surface of the base in one of the multiple holes.

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

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

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

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the two adjustable 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 adjustable 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 removing the at least one adjustable fastener from the determined position when object (shelf) size increases;

and repositioning the at least one adjustable fastener in another of the multiple holes depending on determined orthogonal distance,

8. 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 adjustable 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.

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.

9. 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 raised front surface, a back surface, a top, and a bottom, and at least one pin positioned at a predetermined position on the back surface, and a shelf secured to the bottom of the base; and

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; and

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

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the base comprises two pins that 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.

14. A wall mounted hanger system comprising:

a base comprising two raised front surfaces, and a bottom surface connecting the two raised surfaces together; and

a shelf secured between the two raised front surfaces; and

an orthogonal distance from the back surface of the two raised front surfaces to a terminal point of the shelf;

wherein at least one pin is positioned on the back surface 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 at least one pin is secured on the back surface by the manufacturer.

16. The wall mounted hanger system of claim 15, wherein the base comprises two pins that 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.
