Abstract:
1. A system for maintaining an article in a desired position on a vertical surface, the article including at least a rear surface, a top edge, a bottom edge, and an article attachment device fixed to the rear surface of the article proximate its top edge such that the article may pivot about a wall attachment post fixed to the vertical surface, the system comprising: a first bracket having at least one curved, convex projecting nub having at least two interlocking ribs each on opposing sides of the nub and mutually separated by a curved vertex of the nub, each interlocking rib extending the length of the nub, and a first length of two-sided foam tape fixed to a rear side of the first bracket for adhering the first bracket to the rear surface of the article; and a second bracket having at least one curved, concave divot having at least two interlocking ribs each on opposing sides of the divot and mutually separated by a curved vertex of the divot, each interlocking rib extending the length of the divot and cooperative with the interlocking ribs of one of the at least one projecting nubs of the first bracket, the second bracket including two tapered side edges and at least one depression on a rear side of the second bracket for receiving a second length of the two-sided foam tape for adhering the second bracket to the vertical surface; the second bracket able to be flexed to open the at least one divot wide enough so that the interlocking ribs of the first and second brackets may be mutually engaged to temporarily affix the first and second brackets together with a resilient clamping force of the second bracket, the first bracket when pressing against the second bracket causing the second bracket to straighten to cause mutual release of each of the interlocking ribs, each nub of the first bracket when engaged with the cooperative divot of the second bracket when the article is in the desired position on the vertical surface and when the first bracket is adhered to the rear surface of the article proximate the bottom edge thereof and when the second bracket is adhered to the vertical surface, if jarred the article pivots back and forth on the wall attachment post until each nub becomes re-engaged with its cooperative divot to bring the article back into the desired position.
