Benefits of technology

The invention is a picture-hanging device that allows users to easily mark locations on a wall for inserting nails or hangers. It is affordable and efficient in hanging pictures or other items on a wall without creating abrasions or unnecessary markings.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patent text is the difficulty and frustration of hanging pictures or other objects on a wall using traditional methods, which often result in multiple holes in the wall and damage to the walls. The invention aims to provide an easy-to-use and inexpensive device that takes the guesswork out of the process and allows the user to hold and move a picture along a wall without marking the wall until significant pressure is applied to the picture frame.

Abstract

EZ-Mark Picture Hanging Marker consists of a head that has an adhesive coating on one side and a marking device, like a pin or marker on the other side. On the other side of the marking device is an encasement sleeve that protrudes further than the marker. The adhesive coating of the head is attached to the back of a picture frame or other object that needs hanging. Once the adhesive coating or other attachment mechanism is put in place, the frame may be moved along the wall into the desired location of hanging. The EZ-Hang Picture Hanging Marker user is then able to mark the desired location of where they would like to place their nail by pressing on the picture frame or hanging instrument. Only when significant force is applied to the picture frame, does a marking device protrude from EZ-Hang's encasement sleeve and mark the wall.
