AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing wall hooks fail to maintain the horizontal alignment of objects hung on uneven or imperfectly drilled walls, leading to misalignment and instability.

Method used

A wall hook with an oblong or oval shape and a central axis, allowing rotational adjustment between paired fasteners, ensuring horizontality by preventing rotation once tightened, and adaptable to various object sizes and grooves.

Benefits of technology

Ensures stable horizontal positioning of objects on walls with uneven drilling, providing versatile fit and maintaining alignment regardless of wall imperfections.

Description

Title of the invention: Wall hook for oblong-shaped pictures allowing adjustment of the horizontality of the attached object

[0001] This is a wall hook that is fixed in pairs to a wall or any vertical surface. The originality of this invention lies in its oblong or oval shape around a central axis. This shape, by rotating the fastener, allows the height of the object placed on the hook to be varied. The difference in rotational position around the fixing screw between the two fasteners used makes it possible to correct the horizontality of the object hung on the wall. This function is very useful when the two holes in the wall have not been drilled at a perfectly horizontal angle. The claws on the base of the hook, regardless of the type of screw used, prevent it from rotating once tightened against the wall, thus ensuring that the horizontality of the object is no longer altered.

[0002] Two hooks allow for the hanging of a panel, picture, or any rigid support fitted on the back with an aluminum profile or any other system with a horizontal groove. The shape and dimensions of the fastener can be easily adapted to the size and depth of the groove behind the hung object, thus creating an infinite number of variations according to requirements or the type of object hung.

[0003] The dimensions of the technical drawings are not restrictive. They were made for the fixing of two specific models of aluminium profiles placed on the back of aluminium sandwich panels.

[0004] The hook can be made from a multitude of materials, plastic or metallic and by different manufacturing processes without restriction: 3D printing, extrusion, molding.
