Standoff adaptor for push pin

The combination of a push pin and a standoff adapter for mounting an item to a wall comprising:

• a push pin having a main body with a proximal end and a distal end, said proximal end having a first outwardly facing surface with a pin member extending outwardly from said surface to extend into a wall and mount an item thereto;
• and,
• a standoff adapter including a spacer and a head mounted thereto;
• and wherein:
• said spacer having a first end with a second outwardly facing surface and a hole extending there through to removably receive said main body of said push pin and further having a second end with a spacer contact surface to receive said head, said spacer including a longitudinal axis extending from said first end to said second end;
• and,
• said head adjustably mounted to said second end of said spacer, said head having a head contact surface facing said spacer contact surface and spaced therefrom a first distance, said head adjustably movable to and from said spacer while being mounted thereto to change said distance along said axis between said head contact surface and said spacer contact surface to grip an item therebetween for mounting an item to a wall by the push pin,
• said main body of said push pin has an inclined surface extending from said first outwardly facing surface towards said distal end;
• and,
• said spacer having a chamfered entrance to said hole to mate with said inclined surface when the main body is forced into said hole.

A standoff adaptor for a push pin having a main body with a first end portion, an opposite second end portion, said push pin further having a pin connected to said main body and extending outwardly from said second end portion for mounting an item to a wall comprising:

• a spacer having a first end to removably receive the first end portion of the main body of the push pin mountable to a wall, said first end of said spacer having a wall contact surface, said spacer further having a second end with a spacer contact surface, said spacer including a longitudinal axis extending from said first end to said second end;
• and,
• a head movable on said second end of said spacer, said head having a head contact surface facing said spacer contact surface and spaced therefrom a first distance, said head adjustably movable to and from said spacer while being mounted thereto to change said distance along said axis between said head contact surface and said spacer contact surface to grip an item therebetween for mounting the item to the wall by the push pin, and wherein:
• said first end of said spacer has a hole with a first diameter which extends through said wall contact surface with said spacer having a chamfered entrance to said hole to mate with the main body of the push pin when the main body is pushed into said hole, said chamfered entrance includes a first slanted surface arranged at a first acute angle relative to said axis and a second slanted surfaced arranged at a second acute angle relative to said axis greater than said first acute angle, said first slanted surface extends around said axis from said wall contact surface to said second slanted surface, said second slanted surface extends around said axis from said first slanted surface toward said second end.

A standoff adapter for holding an item on a push pin comprising:

• a spacer with a first end having a hole for a push pin to be inserted therein and a second end for holding an item;
• and,
• a head adjustably mounted to said second end being movably to adjust the distance between said second end of said spacer and the head for gripping an item therebetween,
• said head is threadly mounted to said second eiid of said spacer with said head and said spacer having mutually facing surfaces positioned apart a distance that is changeable as said head is rotated on said spacer to releasably hold an item therebetween;
• and,
• said spacer at said first end has a beveled entrance to said hole to mate with a push pin inserted therein.
