Abstract:
1. A system for hanging pictures on a substantially vertical surface comprising: a plurality of dual purpose hanging and marking structures sized and configured to be securely disposed on an object to be hung; and each of said plurality of dual purpose hanging and marking structures is a one piece structure and comprises a first structure configured to first mark a location for a hole in a surface and then be destructively broken away from a second structure configured to be hung on a protuberance disposed in a hole made at said location, where said first structure is initially configured to be temporarily securely held with respect to said second structure and then further configured to be readily and destructively broken away from said second structure and said first structure is configured to be non-reusable after being removed with respect to said second structure, wherein said object is a picture frame and said surface is a gypsum board wall and where said first structure is operationally disposed at only a single location with respect to said object to be hung, wherein said first structure comprises a dual purpose hanging and marking structure central break away section with a dual purpose hanging and marking structure central break away section marking structure protruding therefrom, wherein said dual purpose hanging and marking structure central break away section further comprises a dual purpose hanging and marking structure central break away section marking structure back support structure, which is disposed on an opposite side from said dual purpose hanging and marking structure central break away section marking structure, and wherein said dual purpose hanging and marking structure central break away section further comprises a dual purpose hanging and marking structure central break away section removal assisting hole therein, the system further comprising a plurality of dual purpose hanging and marking structure central destructively break away section attachment portions, which are configured to retain dual purpose hanging and marking structure central destructively break away section coupled to dual purpose hanging and marking structure central protruding section until dual purpose hanging and marking structure central break away section is twisted about dual purpose hanging and marking structure central destructively break away section attachment portions cause fatigue and a destructively break away failure to occur in the material of dual purpose hanging and marking structure central destructively break away section attachment portions; and the system further comprising: a gypsum board wall auger with a detachable tip and a wall engaging spacer disk and a head located, sized and configured to be received in dual purpose hanging and marking structure; and a tapeable freestanding level with a planar body and a bottom lip in a central region and adjacent taping regions on either side of said bottom lip.
