Abstract
A system including an attachment device having a generally flat plate having a securement structure, and two hooks movably coupled to the plate. A base end of each hook is spaced apart by a natural number multiple of a hook spacing distance, and the hook spacing distance is between about 1¾ inches and about 2¼ inches, or is between about 2¾ inches and about 3¼ inches.
Claims24
A system comprising an attachment device including:
- a generally flat, generally triangular plate having a securement structure positioned adjacent a first corner of said plate, wherein said securement structure includes an opening having an outer perimeter entirely positioned within said plate;
- and
- at least two hooks movably coupled to said plate positioned adjacent to second and third corners, respectively, of said plate, wherein each hook is passed through a hook opening that is of a smaller size than the opening of the securement structure, wherein a base end of each hook is spaced apart by a natural number multiple of a hook spacing distance, wherein the hook spacing distance is between about 1¾ inches and about 2¼ inches, or is between about 2¾ inches and about 3¼ inches, wherein each hook is generally “S”-shaped, wherein each hook opening non-removably directly receives the base end of an associated hook therethrough, wherein said plate is generally shaped as non-equilateral isosceles triangle in front view, wherein said securement structure is positioned adjacent to a vertex of said triangle defined by said first corner, and wherein each hook is positioned adjacent to a base edge of said triangle, wherein the system further comprises a supplemental hook movably coupled to said plate, and wherein a base end of said supplemental hook is spaced apart from at least one of said two hooks by said hook spacing distance, and wherein said base end of said supplemental hook and said base ends of said two hooks are all positioned adjacent to a same edge of said plate, and wherein said plate is made of metal and has a thickness of less than about ¼ inch.

A system comprising:
- an attachment device including a generally flat plate having a securement structure and at least two hooks movably coupled to said plate adjacent to an edge of said plate, wherein a base end of each hook is spaced apart by a natural number multiple of a hook spacing distance, and wherein the flat plate of said attachment device is generally triangular and lacks any hooks formed thereby;
- and
- a piece of material having a plurality of openings, wherein the openings of said piece of material are spaced apart, on center, by the hook spacing distance, and wherein said attachment device is coupled to said piece of material such said edge of said plate is positioned adjacent to said piece of material.
A method for securing an attachment device to a piece of material comprising:
- accessing an attachment device including a generally flat plate having a securement structure and at least two hooks movably coupled to said plate, wherein a base end of each hook is spaced apart by a natural number multiple of a hook spacing distance and wherein the flat plate is generally triangular and lacks any hooks;
- accessing a piece of material having a plurality of openings, wherein the plurality of openings of said piece of material are spaced apart, on center, by the hook spacing distance;
- and
- passing each hook through an opening of said piece of material to thereby secure said attachment device to said piece of material such that said base ends of each hook are positioned adjacent to said piece of material.
