       FIELD OF THE INVENTION  
       [0004]     The preferred embodiment as proposed under this invention pertains to a template structure, particularly referring to one that suffices to aid wall bracket mounting in a swift and precise manner of a new model structural design.  
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
       [0005]     Where the term wall bracket pertains to the type of do-it-yourself wall-mount rack-configured products, while currently there are a number of products featuring such wall-mount rack function and configuration are available in the marketplace, such as a towel rack, soap rack, ring hanger rack and so forth; most of which are on display and sale at the retail venues, where the consumer would purchase the product and assembly on their own in a do-it-yourself manner as commonly referred to. A brief description is hereby provided to illustrate the theory behind mounting and positioning the rear segments of most conventional wall brackets as follows.  
         [0006]     As shown in  FIG. 16 , between the rear contact surface  61  of the wall bracket  60  kit and the wall usually comes with a template  62 , which is punctured with assembly holes  63 ; a position edge  64  on one side of the backboard  62 ; a screw hole  65  for accommodating a position bolt  66  at one side of the rear contact surface  61  of the wall bracket  60  kit to held down the aforementioned position edge  64 . While the means of installation usually requires that the consumer to drill holes  67  according to positions that correspond to the assembly holes  63  punctured on the backboard  62 , before plastic rivets  68  are inserted and the bolts  69  secured in place upon aligning the wall bracket  60  kit assembly holes  63  to the plastic rivet inserted holes  68 . The rear contact surface  61  of the wall brackets  60  are then assembled onto the backboard  62 , which is held in by the positive bolts  66  to complete the mounting procedure as shown in  FIG. 17 . Simply as it may sound, most of those who have attempted to do so often find a common frustration that in spite of a wall bracket dimensional drawing that most of the manufacturers include in the packing box that the consumer can follow to carry out the installation. Yet a crucial point arisen from the fact that most of the consumers are not skillfully trained often leads to discrepancies on position of the holes being drawn onto the wall, which in turn leads to the problems of misaligned holes or crookedness as the brackets are installed, rendering a less than ideal state of installation and frustrates the consumer with annoyance and inconvenience.  
         [0007]     The foregoing problematic points also reflect a market demand in terms of how best for the manufacturer to devise a product configuration mode that aids to complete the wall bracket installation in a swift and precise manner addressing to the foregoing potential consumption need aiming to address the consumer needs would warrant it an objective and focus that the industry operators are compelling to study and achieve breakthroughs.  
       BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
       [0008]     Facts pertaining to the invention functional yields are recapped as follows:  
         [0009]     1. The presence of the unique structural design of the template is able to facilitate wall bracket mounting in a swifter and precise manner with practical progressives.  
         [0010]     2. The template, as incorporated at a visible spot of wall bracket packaging depicting its structural feature, allows the consumer to easily discern the convenience in installation through the template display at the retail venue to greatly enhance the product, add value, and excel the consumer&#39;s desire to purchase.  
         [0011]     3. The presence of a one-body construction template that is incorporated into the structural design of the packing box allows the producer to attain a swifter and more precise objective without accruing additional cost, and achieve an optimized industrial utilization.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION  
       [0029]     To facilitate the review board discerning and deciphering the objective, characteristics and functional yield of the invention, a summary of illustrated drawings have included for easy references.  
         [0030]     Firstly, please refer to that shown under  FIG. 1 ,  FIG. 2  and  FIG. 3 , depicting an illustrated implementation of an instructional template for aiding the installation of wall brackets as proposed by the invention, which is comprised of: 
        a packing box  10 A, which provides a compartment  13 A for accommodating the prefabricated wall brackets  05 , (as depicted in the drawing of a towel rack); and     a template  20 A, which can be placed anywhere inside the packing box  10 , and on said template  20 A is one that has been furnished with position hole markings  21  at a 1:1 scale as layout marking for the assembly holes  061  of the wall bracket  05  kit contact end  06 . The packing box  10 A can be one that is comprised of a cover casing  11  and bottom casing  12  as shown in  FIG. 1  and  FIG. 2 , where the formation of the upper casing  11  has room  13 A to accommodate the wall brackets  05 , and that the parameters A where the upper and bottom casings  11 ,  12  come to meet are made into an interlocking hanging clamp and shall form, with one side of it punctured, a hang hole  14 , in which the template  20 A is held in by the upper/lower casings  11 ,  12  in the form of an insert card for the wall brackets.        
 
         [0033]     Of which, the template  20 A hole marking drawing  21  can take to the form of contour outlines  213  of the rear of the bracket, contour outlines  215  for the contact end of the wall brackets  05 , and contour outlines  217  of the assembly holes.  
         [0034]     In accordance with the foregoing stated structural feature, a key lies in that the template  20 A can be used as a fixture for planning the hole boring on the wall prior mounting the wall bracket  50 , which pertains to applying the template  20 A flush against the wall and has the template  20 A held in by hand, or has it affixed to the wall temporarily using adhesives, where the assembly hole contour outlines  217  shown on the template  20 A could easily allow the installer to mark locations where the holes are to be bored easily using a pen before removing the template  20 A and carrying out the hole-boring procedure. Or as an alternative as shown in  FIG. 5 , the template  20 A can be left on, and the hole boring operation can be conducted directly onto the assembly hole contour outlines  217  appearing on the template  20 A. This would conclude the purpose and method of use for the template  20 A disclosed under the creation, while further description covering how the contact end  06  of the wall brackets  05  are mounted onto the wall that has been described in full under the prior art section would not be repeated in the ensuing patent description.  
         [0035]     Whereof, at the template  20 A hole marking drawing  21  that is marked with wall bracket  05  assembly contact point outlines  215 , assembly hole outlines  217  can be incorporated with perforation lines L 1 , L 2  and L 3  as shown in  FIG. 3 , in which the purpose of the assembly contact point X perforation L 1  and round perforation L 3  is as shown in  FIG. 6 . Following the contact points  06  of the wall brackets  05  that are securely fasten to the pre-bored holes on the wall, the user will be able to tear down the template  20 A, and the X perforation L 1  would serve to provide easy tearing of the template  20 A, and the round dot inside the round perforation L 3  will be left inside the contact point of the wall brackets  05 . While the purpose of the perforation line L 2  along the assembly hole outlines  217  lies in providing a punctured hole by breaking it to facilitate the entry of a marker or drill bid.  
         [0036]     As disclosed in  FIG. 7  and  FIG. 8 , the packing box  10 B can also be made in the form of single-sided clamp shell  15  in a hung clamp shell container, and inside the clamp shell  15  is compartment  13 B reserved for placing the wall brackets  05 , on which one side of the clamp shell  15  contains an opening, which is intended to form a foldable flange  16 , allowing the two ends of the template  20 B to fit into the two sides of the flange  16  as the backboard of the packing box  10 B.  
         [0037]     Whereof, as shown in  FIG. 9 , the template  20 C can also be placed into a sealer  40 , which is then included to any given one side of the packing box  10 C as an attachment via adhesives or strapping.  
         [0038]     As shown in  FIG. 10  and  FIG. 11 , it depicts an illustrated implementation-two of an instructional template for aiding the installation of wall brackets as provided by the invention, which is comprised of: 
        a packing box  10 D, which provides a compartment for accommodating the prefabricated wall brackets  05 ; and     a template  20 D, which pertains to a one-body construction placed at one side of the packing box  10 D, where contained above the template  20 D are hole marking drawing  21  at a 1:1 scale depicting the assembly layout of the wall bracket  05  kit assembly holes. Whereof, the round feature of the hole layout drawing  21 , portions of the perforation, and purpose of the template and intended usage are identical to that described under the foregoing illustrated implementation-one, and will not be repeated.        
 
         [0041]     In accordance with the foregoing described configuration mode, the template  20 D has been incorporated with a rectangle perforation  50  to semi-connect to one side of the pacing box  10 D allowing it to be operated alone when torn from the template  20 D.  
         [0042]     Whereof, what can be incorporated at one or more corners adjacent to the rectangle perforation  50  of a curve die-cut  51 , which can be pressed down for finger access that allows us to puncture the hole and torn open the template  20 D with finger, as shown in  FIG. 12 . In such way, and as shown in  FIG. 13 , we will be able to proceed with hole boring by affixing the template  20 D onto the wall as per methods as disclosed under illustrated implementation-one.  
         [0043]     Whereof, as shown in  FIG. 3  and  FIG. 11 , the parameters of the template  20 ,  20 D disclosed in the foregoing illustration implementations could further be incorporated with the design of dimensional imprint  52 , i.e. in metric centimeter or imperial inch, which would facilitate the consumer to dimensional measuring during the installation process.  
         [0044]     As a supplement, there is no preset limit as to the configuration of the wall bracket as referred in the invention, and as long as those that the contact points require mounting onto the walls would all fall under the scope of this patent. For instance, those shown under  FIG. 14  and  FIG. 15  are variation wall brackets of different configurations, where  FIG. 14  depicts a single mount wall bracket  052 , whereas  FIG. 15  depicts an upright wall bracket  053  in an infinite array of combinations to be free from preset confines.
