Abstract
Aspects of the invention provide a solution for mounting a hanging using a set of mounting devices including magnets. A mounting device includes a first and second portions at least one of which generates a magnetic field, such that a surface of the first portion is attracted to a surface of the second portion. The first portion includes another surface configured to be secured to a support structure. The hanging can be at least partially supported by placing a portion of the hanging between the attractive surfaces of the first and second portions.
Claims20
A mounting device comprising:
- a first portion;
- a second portion, wherein at least one of the first or second portion generates a magnetic field, such that the first and second portions are attracted to one another to support a hanging located there between;
- and
- a j-shaped hook, wherein a first end of the j-shaped hook is fixedly attached to the first portion, wherein the j-shaped hook is configured to attach the first portion to a support structure including a rod, wherein a second end of the j-shaped hook is configured to hook onto the rod such that the first portion and the second portion are substantially vertically oriented.
A mounting system comprising:
- a plurality of mounting devices configured to mount a single hanging to a support structure, wherein each mounting device is configured to be located at a unique location along an edge of the single hanging in order to support the single hanging, and wherein each mounting device includes:
- a first portion;
- a second portion, wherein at least one of the first or second portion generates a magnetic field, such that the first and second portions are attracted to one another with the hanging located there between;
- and
- a j-shaped hook, wherein a first end of the j-shaped hook is fixedly attached to the first portion, wherein the j-shaped hook is configured to attach the first portion to the support structure including a rod, wherein a second end of the j-shaped hook is configured to hook onto the rod such that the first portion and the second portion are substantially vertically oriented.
A method of mounting a single hanging to a support structure comprising:
- providing a plurality of mounting devices, wherein each mounting device is configured to be located at a unique location along an edge of the single hanging in order to support the single hanging, and wherein each mounting device includes:
- a first portion;
- a second portion, wherein at least one of the first or second portion generates a magnetic field, such that the first and second portions are attracted to one another with the hanging located there between;
- and
- a j-shaped hook, wherein a first end of the j-shaped hook is fixedly attached to the first portion, wherein the j-shaped hook is configured to attach the first portion to the support structure including a rod, wherein a second end of the j-shaped hook is configured to hook into the rod such that the first portion and the second portion are substantially vertically oriented;
- and
- placing a first end of the hanging between the first and second portions of each of the plurality of mounting devices.
