Abstract:
1. A method for hanging an object on a wall, comprising: positioning a lower edge of a crossbar along an upper edge of the object; engaging a first arm of the device with a first attachment loop of the object and engaging a second arm of the device with a second attachment loop of the object, thereby recording a relative positioning of the first and the second attachment loops relative to the upper edge of the object; in response to the recording of the relative positioning of the first and the second attachment loops, disengaging the first and the second arms from the first and the second attachment loops and positioning the device against the wall such that the lower edge of the crossbar is in a desired location on the wall; pressing the first arm against the wall such that a marker pin of the first arm creates a first indentation in the wall, thereby marking a location for a first nail to be used in hanging the object on the wall via the first attachment loop; and pressing the second arm against the wall such that a marker pin of the second arm creates a second indentation in the wall, thereby marking a location for a second nail to be used in hanging the object on the wall via the second attachment loop, wherein the device includes a first knuckle that couples the first arm to the crossbar in a slidable manner such that the first arm is moveable with the first knuckle in a first direction along the crossbar and such that the first arm is moveable along a projection of the first knuckle in a second direction generally perpendicular to a linear edge of the crossbar, and wherein the device includes a second knuckle that couples the second arm to the crossbar in a slidable manner such that the second arm is moveable with the second knuckle in the first direction along the crossbar and such that the second arm is moveable along a projection of the second knuckle in the second direction generally perpendicular to the linear edge of the crossbar.
