Abstract
A repositionable frame system includes a repositionable wall mount configured for being repositionably secured to a support surface. The repositionable wall mount includes a first magnetic element. The system further includes a frame having a rear face that includes a second magnetic element that is magnetically attracted to the first magnetic element resulting in a magnetic coupling between the frame and the repositionable wall mount.
Claims18
A repositionable frame system comprising:
- a repositionable wall mount configured for being repositionably secured to a support surface, the repositionable wall mount including a first magnetic element;
- and
- a frame having a rear face that includes a second magnetic element that is magnetically attracted to the first magnetic element resulting in a magnetic coupling between the frame and the repositionable wall mount;
- wherein the repositionable wall mount includes a carrier layer having a first face and an opposite second face, the first face being coated with a repositionable adhesive for contacting the support surface, the second face being coated with a permanent adhesive that is permanently bonded to the first magnetic element;
- and
- wherein the first magnetic element comprises a layer of foam that is permanently bonded to the permanent adhesive of the second face and a magnetically receptive rubber layer that is permanently bonded to the layer of foam.

A kit for mounting two or more frame systems to a support surface comprising:
- a plus-shaped tool that includes four legs that define four quadrants, the tool including a bubble level for orienting the tool in a level position relative to the support surface;
- and
- wherein each of the two or more frames comprises:
- a repositionable wall mount configured for being repositionably secured to a support surface, the repositionable wall mount including a first magnetic element;
- and
- a frame having a rear face that includes a second magnetic element that is magnetically attracted to the first magnetic element resulting in a magnetic coupling between the frame and the repositionable wall mount.
3 more elements
A repositionable frame system comprising:
- a first part that is configured for being repositionably secured to a support surface, the first part including a first magnetic element defining a first face of the first part and a repositionable adhesive that is temporarily covered by a release layer that defines a second face of the first part prior to mounting to the support surface;
- and
- a second part that includes a frame having a rear face that includes a second magnetic element that is magnetically attracted to the first magnetic element resulting in a magnetic coupling between the frame and the repositionable first part;
- wherein the first part includes a carrier on which the repositionable adhesive is layered along a first surface, with a second surface thereof being permanently bonded to a layer of foam to which the first magnetic element is permanently bonded.
