Patent ID: 8740171

Claim:
A hanging system comprising: a panel having a front surface and a back surface and only a single pin non-moveably disposed on the back surface of the panel prior to being mounted, the pin extends outwardly from and in direct physical contact with the back surface at an angle with respect to the back surface without extending beyond the front surface of the panel, the angle being between about 50 to 80 degrees, the pin has an outer end, wherein the outer end is pointed so as to allow for a puncturing effect when pressed into a wall material, the pin being neither struck nor stamped from the panel while having a substantially uniform circular cross section extending from proximate its pointed outer end to proximate where the pin contacts the back surface of the panel; and the back surface of the panel being substantially planar; other than the single pin disposed at the angle between about 50 to 80 degrees nothing else of the hanging system protrudes beyond the back surface of the panel; at least one fastener securing an object to be hung in direct contact with and completely covering the front surface of the panel, wherein the fastener is an adhesive component or at least one screw receivable from the back surface and extending out beyond the front surface of the panel via at least one aperture defined therethrough.
