Benefits of technology

The present invention is a wall mounting apparatus that makes it easy and quick to hang objects on a wall. It eliminates the challenge of finding attachment points on the frame or item by ensuring that each point is properly located for mounting. The apparatus creates reference marks on the wall at two or more points, which are located on the same line. This simplifies the process of hanging items on the wall.

Problems solved by technology

It can be difficult to hang an object on a wall if the object has at least two mounting points at which the object attaches to the wall, as the appropriate and needed placement of the nails, tacks, or similar mounting mechanisms on the wall can be challenging.
Without a level a few tools, many individuals cannot quickly level a frame or other item on the wall without needing to pierce several holes in the wall.
It can be difficult to mount the fasteners to each of the plural attachments points while ensuring that the fasteners are indeed located substantially along a same horizontal axis.
As such, this process can easily take over 10 minutes for a single frame for some individuals lacking the proper tools and experience.
When an individual is hanging a large number of items, this process quickly becomes tedious and laborious.

Abstract

A wall-hanging object mounting assistance tool is disclosed. The apparatus employs a plurality of markers. Each of the markers of the plurality of markers is equipped with a pin configured to facilitate the imprint of a mark on a wall in a desired position. The plurality of markers of the apparatus are removably secured to a mounting bar, and are preferably slid into the desired position corresponding to the location of hanging hooks or holes conventionally disposed on or in the object to be hung on the wall. The plurality of markers may slide when needed along the mounting bar, ensuring that the apparatus may expedite and facilitate the mounting of a wide variety of sized items to a wall or similar vertical surface.
