Abstract:
1. A marking device for marking the location for a support for a mountable object, the device comprising: a body having a front face and a back face, the front face being slick and configured for slidable contact against a surface; an adhesive coupled to the back face of the body configured to removably couple the back face of the body to the mountable object; an elastic buckling frame forming at least a portion of the body and having elastic and collapsible cross-braces between the front and back faces, the cross-braces including a flexible and resilient material such that the cross-braces buckle under an applied force defining a compressed configuration in which the front face displaces towards the back face to reduce a thickness of the body, and the cross-braces return to an original configuration upon removal of the applied force defining an uncompressed configuration in which the front face displaces away from the back face to increase a thickness of the body; and a marker coupled to the body and disposed below the front face in the thicker configuration and projecting to at least the front face to mark the surface in the compressed configuration.
