Abstract:
A structure for mounting an object on a vertical surface adapted to receive an elongated fastener, the structure being adapted to be initially held in situ on the surface in a temporary manner without damaging the surface and then being adapted to be held in situ by the fastener on the surface without indenting the surface when the fastener is driven into the surface to secure the structure to the surface, the structure comprising a hanger arranged to enable the fastener to pass through it into the surface, a backing secured to the hanger, the backing including (a) a temporary adhesive film adapted to be temporarily secured to the surface, and (b) a shock absorbing layer interposed between the hanger and the film, the layer extending slightly beyond a peripheral edge of a base of the hanger and having sufficient thickness and being made of a material such that it absorbs forces imparted by the hanger when the fastener is driven into the surface through and against the hanger.
