Patent ID: 8864095

Claim:
A device for hanging an object on a wall, comprising: a crossbar having a linear edge, a track parallel to the linear edge, and a level bubble with markings indicative of a horizontal orientation of the linear edge; a first arm having a length, a track extending along the length of the first arm, and a marker pin projecting from a forward surface of the first arm; a first knuckle slideably coupled to the track of the crossbar such that the first knuckle is moveable in a first direction, the first knuckle having a projection configured to engage the track of the first arm such that the length of the first arm is generally perpendicular to the linear edge of the crossbar and such that the first arm is configured to move along the projection of the first knuckle in a second direction generally perpendicular to the linear edge of the crossbar; a second arm having a length, a track extending along the length of the second arm, and a marker pin projecting from a forward surface of the second arm; a second knuckle slideably coupled to the track of the crossbar such that the second knuckle is moveable in the first direction, the second knuckle having a projection configured to engage the track of the second arm such that the length of the second arm is generally perpendicular to the linear edge of the crossbar and such that the second arm is configured to move along the projection of the second knuckle in the second direction generally perpendicular to the linear edge of the crossbar.
