Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates generally to decorative, damage-free articles, systems, and kits capable of hanging a plant on a vertical surface or wall.
  • various decorative articles such as artwork, photographs, mirrors, moldings, etc.
  • one or more mechanical fasteners e.g., nails, screws or hooks
  • installation of a decorative article is less time-consuming than painting or applying wall paper, time and skill must be invested to ensure that the mechanical fastener is optimally located along the wall surface. The mechanical fastener permanently damages the wall and cannot easily be repositioned.
  • fastening systems (often referred to as picture hanging strips) are packaged and provided as a pair of pre-cut, adhesive-backed strips.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 One example of such a system is shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
  • the first strip carries a plurality of hooks (or similar structures), and the second strip carries a plurality of complementary loops.
  • the user must adhere a first one of the two strips to the decorative article, and adhere the second strip to the wall.
  • the article is then supported relative to the wall via engagement between the hooks and loops.
  • a relationship of the decorative article/first strip relative to the wall/second strip can be slightly altered by disconnecting and then reconnecting the hooks and loops, or by a minor rotation of the decorative article/first strip relative to the wall/second strip (without separating the hooks and loops). Further, when complete removal of the decorative article from the wall is desired, the strips can be de-bonded from the decorative article and the wall surface, respectively.
  • FIG. 3 Another example of such a system is shown in Fig. 3.
  • the decor assembly 32 includes a decor element 5 opposite a two-piece releasable fastening structure 10.
  • the releasable fastening structure can be attached to the wall using, for example, the picture hanging strips described above or other adhesive strips.

  • the inventors of the present disclosure recognized the many advantages and benefits of the existing commercially available hanging devices shown in Figs. 1-3. However, they saw opportunities to further improve these useful, reliable products. Specifically, the inventors of the present disclosure recognized the desire of users to hang items other than relatively light-weight artwork without damaging the walls to which these items are hung. For example, the inventors discovered that users may want to hang plants from their walls. This may be especially desirable in colder climates where snow prohibits year-round gardens. It may also be especially desirable in kitchens where cooks may want to grow fresh herbs year-round and have easy access to them right in their kitchens without sacrificing valuable counter space.
  • the inventors of the present disclosure thus discovered articles, systems, and kits that enable users to decorative ly and securely hang plants on their walls.
  • the hanging articles, systems, and/or kits enable the plant to be easily and quickly removed from the system for watering.
  • Some embodiments of the present application generally relate to a system for decorating a wall surface, comprising: a decor assembly including a decor element capable of holding a plant; a releaseable fastening structure opposite the decor assembly, the releasable fastening structure including a plurality of first fastening elements; a backer maintaining the decor element; a base maintaining the releasable fastening structure; and a complementary fastening structure including a pressure sensitive adhesive opposite a plurality of second fastening elements; wherein the first fastening elements are releasably mateable with the second fastening elements to define a releasable fastening system; and wherein the backer is releasably mounted to the base.
