Abstract

A device for supporting an object on a structure includes a mounting member having a front face and a side face, a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole passing through the front face, wherein the first mounting hole is a first distance from the second mounting hole, a first positioning structure and a second positioning structure on the side face, wherein the first positioning structure is a second distance from the second positioning structure, wherein the first distance is the same as the second distance, and a hook on the front face.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A device for supporting an object on a structure, the device comprising:
a mounting member having a front face and a side face: a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole passing through the front face, wherein the first mounting hole is a first distance from the second mounting hole; a first positioning structure and a second positioning structure on the side face, wherein the first positioning structure is a second distance from the second positioning structure; wherein the first distance is the same as the second distance, and a hook on the front face.

2 . The device of claim 1 , further comprising a retainment clip having a first end rotatably attached to the front face and a second end removably attachable to the hook.

3 . The tool of claim 1 , wherein:
the first distance comprises a distance between a midpoint of the first mounting hole and a midpoint of the second mounting hole; and the second distance comprises a distance between a midpoint of the first positioning structure and the second positioning structure.

4 . The device of claim 1 , the device further comprising:
a third mounting hole passing through the front face between the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole; and a third positioning structure on the side face between the first positioning structure and the second positioning structure; wherein a distance between the first mounting hole and the third mounting hole is the same as a distance between the first positioning structure and the third positioning structure.

5 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the first positioning structure comprises a protruding nub.

6 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the first positioning structure and the second positioning structure are configured to, when pressed to a surface by a user, leave a pair of indents on the surface.

7 . The device of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first mounting hole or the second mounting hole is a keyhole.

8 . A device for supporting an object on a structure, the device comprising:
a mounting member having a front face and a side face: a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole passing through the front face, wherein the first mounting hole is a first distance from the second mounting hole; a first positioning structure and a second positioning structure on the side face, wherein the first positioning structure is a second distance from the second positioning structure; wherein the first distance is the same as the second distance; and wherein the first positioning structure and the second positioning structure protrude from the side face such that, when pressed to a surface, the first positioning structure and the second positioning structure leave a pair of indication marks indented onto the surface; and a hook on the front face.

9 . The device of claim 8 , further comprising a retainment clip having a first end rotatably attached to the front face and a second end removably attachable to the hook.

10 . The tool of claim 8 , wherein:
the first distance comprises a distance between a midpoint of the first mounting hole and a midpoint of the second mounting hole; and the second distance comprises a distance between a midpoint of the first positioning structure and the second positioning structure.

11 . The device of claim 8 , the device further comprising:
a third mounting hole passing through the front face between the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole; and a third positioning structure on the side face between the first positioning structure and the second positioning structure; wherein a distance between the first mounting hole and the third mounting hole is the same as a distance between the first positioning structure and the third positioning structure.

12 . The device of claim 8 , wherein at least one of the first mounting hole or the second mounting hole is a keyhole.

13 . A device for supporting an object on a structure, the device comprising:
a mounting member having a front face and a side face; a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole passing through the front face, wherein the first mounting hole is a first distance from the second mounting hole; a first positioning structure and a second positioning structure on the side face, wherein the first positioning structure is a second distance from the second positioning structure; wherein the first distance is the same as the second distance; and wherein the first positioning structure and the second positioning structure protrude from the side face such that, when pressed to a surface, the first positioning structure and the second positioning structure leave a pair of indication marks indented onto the surface.

14 . The tool of claim 13 , wherein:
the first distance comprises a distance between a midpoint of the first mounting hole and a midpoint of the second mounting hole; and the second distance comprises a distance between a midpoint of the first positioning structure and the second positioning structure.

15 . The device of claim 13 , the device further comprising:
a third mounting hole passing through the front face between the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole; and a third positioning structure on the side face between the first positioning structure and the second positioning structure; wherein a distance between the first mounting hole and the third mounting hole is the same as a distance between the first positioning structure and the third positioning structure.

16 . The device of claim 13 , wherein at least one of the first mounting hole or the second mounting hole is a keyhole.

17 . The device of claim 13 , wherein the front face comprises a hook, the device further comprising a retainment clip having a first end rotatably attached to the front face and a second end removably attachable to the hook.

18 . The device of claim 13 , wherein at least one of the first mounting hole or the second mounting hole is a keyhole.
