Abstract

A mounting system for making, moving, leveling, or locking wall décor on a generally vertical surface comprising a hanger having a front face and a rear face, said rear face including a series of gear like teeth, said front face having a flat outwardly protruding flange; a locking mechanism in the form of a generally rectangular plate having an inset series of teeth formed to mate with said series of gear like teeth of said hanger; said hanger having an adhesive affixed to said rear face thereof, whereby said hanger may be positioned at a desired location on a vertical surface; a fastener for securely attaching said hanger to said wall at said desired location on said vertical surface after said hanger is positioned using said adhesive; and said locking receiver being first attached to said wall décor and thereafter positioned over said hanger by mating one or more of said inset series of teeth over one or more of said series of gear like teeth of said hanger to thereby hang said wall décor from said vertical surface.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A mounting system for making, moving, leveling, or locking wall décor on a generally vertical surface comprising:
 a. a hanger having a front face and a rear face, said rear face including a series of gear like teeth, said front face having a flat outwardly protruding flange; 
 b. a locking mechanism in the form of a generally rectangular plate having an inset series of teeth formed to mate with said series of gear like teeth of said hanger; 
 c. said hanger having an adhesive affixed to said rear face thereof, whereby said hanger may be positioned at a desired location on a vertical surface; 
 d. a fastener for securely attaching said hanger to said wall at said desired location on said vertical surface after said hanger is positioned using said adhesive; and 
 d. said locking receiver being first attached to said wall décor and thereafter positioned over said hanger by mating one or more of said inset series of teeth over one or more of said series of gear like teeth of said hanger to thereby hang said wall décor from said vertical surface. 
 
     
     
         2 . The mounting system of  claim 1 , wherein said fastener is a threaded fastener. 
     
     
         3 . The mounting system of  claim 1 , wherein said fastener is a screw. 
     
     
         4 . The mounting system of  claim 1 , wherein said fastener is a nail. 
     
     
         5 . A mounting kit for use in making, leveling, and locking a piece of wall décor on a generally vertical surface including:
 a. a hanger having a front face and a rear face, said rear face includes a raised arrangement of gear like teeth, said front face having a flat outwardly intruding flange; 
 b. a locking mechanism in said form of a generally rectangular plate having an insert series of teeth formed to mate with said gear like series of teeth of said hanger, said locking receiver configured to be attached to said wall décor; 
 c. said hanger having an adhesive affixed to said rear face thereof, whereby said hanger may be positioned at a desired location on a vertical surface; and 
 d. a fastener for securely attaching said hanger to said wall at said desired location on said vertical surface. 
 
     
     
         6 . The mounting system of  claim 5 , wherein the fastener is a threaded fastener. 
     
     
         7 . The mounting system of  claim 5 , wherein the fastener is a screw. 
     
     
         8 . The mounting system of  claim 5 , wherein the fastener is a nail.
