Patent ID: 8037629

Claim:
A display panel mounting system for mounting a display panel having a periphery to a mounting surface, comprising: a first primary releasable attachment element for placement in a first pattern about a periphery of a display panel; a second primary releasable attachment element for placement on a mounting surface, wherein the second primary releasable attachment element is arranged in a second pattern substantially corresponding to the first pattern; wherein the first and second primary releasable attachment elements are selectively engaged with each other to define a frame to mount a display panel to a mounting surface; and at least one unitary one-piece supplementary fastening element, different from the first and second primary releasable attachment elements, and having a stiff, substantially non-deformable core resistant to bending and having first and second substantially planar surfaces defining first and second contact areas for respective engagement with a display panel and a mounting surface, and positioned within the first and second patterns of the first and second primary releasable attachment elements; wherein the at least one supplementary fastening element forms part of a securing element and provides secure supplementary mounting in addition to the first and second primary releasable attachment elements for mounting a display panel to a mounting surface; wherein the first and second substantially planar surfaces of the at least one supplementary fastening element are provided with a very high bond adhesive; wherein the adhesive adheres the first and second substantially planar surfaces to a display panel and a mounting surface, respectively; and wherein the at least one supplementary fastening element has a thickness between the first and second substantially planar surfaces in the range of about 1/16 to ⅜ of an inch.
