1. A mount for removably mounting a device to a reference surface, the mount comprising:
- a thermoplastic hot melt adhesive having a first surface and a second surface facing a direction opposite to the first surface, the first and second surfaces defining a thickness of the adhesive, wherein at least a portion of the adhesive is uninterrupted through the thickness thereof from the first surface to the second surface; and
a tab that extends from the adhesive,the adhesive being configured to adhere the first surface to the reference surface and the second surface to the device when the device is mounted to the reference surface, and to be removed from the reference surface without damaging the reference surface by moving the tab in a direction substantially parallel to the reference surface.

9. A device comprising:
-
a housing for supporting at least one light source arranged to form a line of light on a reference surface; a leveling device for positioning the light source so that the line of light projects on the reference surface in a desired orientation; and a mount for removably mounting the housing to a reference surface, the mount comprising a thermoplastic hot melt adhesive having a first surface and a second surface facing a direction opposite to the first surface, the first and second surfaces defining a thickness of the adhesive, and a tab attached to the adhesive, the adhesive being configured to adhere the first surface to the reference surface and the second surface to the housing when the housing is mounted to the reference surface and to be removed from the reference surface without damaging the reference surface by moving the tab in a direction substantially parallel to the reference surface, wherein at least a portion of the adhesive is uninterrupted through the thickness thereof from the first surface to the second surface. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A mount for removably mounting a device to a reference surface, the mount comprising:
-
a thermoplastic hot melt adhesive having a first surface and a second surface facing a direction opposite to the first surface, the first and second surfaces defining a thickness of the adhesive, wherein a portion of the adhesive is devoid of a non-adhesive material within the thickness; and a tab that extends from the adhesive, the adhesive being configured to adhere the first surface to the reference surface and the second surface to the device when the device is mounted to the reference surface, and to be removed from the reference surface without damaging the reference surface by moving the tab in a direction substantially parallel to the reference surface.
