Universal mounting system

Abstract

Universal mounting products and systems are provided that may be advantageously mounted with respect to an item, e.g., a package, container and/or product, and once mounted to such item, may be used to position the item in a desirable manner for subsequent use and/or access. The present systems advantageously include complementary mounting structures that are configured and dimensioned to interact therewith in positioning the item for subsequent use and/or access. In exemplary embodiments, the mounting system includes a hook member, an adhesive mounting member and an extension hook. The hook member is generally designed to interact with a mounting track that may be adhered to a desired structure, e.g., a wall, cabinet, door or the like.

       4 . A mounting system according to  claim 2 , wherein said mounting track includes adhesive on a first side thereof, said adhesive facilitating mounting of said mounting track relative to a surface.  
   
   
       5 . A mounting system according to  claim 1 , wherein said transitional region of said hook member is substantially U-shaped.  
   
   
       6 . A mounting system according to  claim 1 , wherein said adhesive mounting member is substantially triangular in geometry.  
   
   
       7 . A mounting system according to  claim 1 , wherein said detachable covering material includes a die cut region to permit partial removal of said covering material.  
   
   
       8 . A mounting system according to  claim 1 , wherein said die cut region is configured and dimensioned to accommodate adherence of said mounting leg of said hook member therein.  
   
   
       9 . A mounting system according to  claim 1 , wherein said extension hook includes a mounting bar, an arcuate hook and a central open region.  
   
   
       10 . A mounting system according to  claim 9 , wherein said mounting bar is configured and dimensioned to be received by said hook member and to rotate relative thereto.  
   
   
       11 . A mounting system according to  claim 10 , wherein said central open region facilitates rotation of said extension hook relative to said hook member.  
   
   
       12 . A mounting system according to  claim 1 , further comprising indicia printed on said adhesive mounting member.  
   
   
       13 . A mounting system according to  claim 1 , further comprising a container to which said adhesive mounting member is adhered.  
   
   
       14 . A mounting system that includes: 
 (a) a mounting member;    (b) interacting means configured and dimensioned to interact with a container, said mounting member being mounted with respect to interacting means; and    (c) means for detachably positioning said mounting member relative to interacting means.    
   
   
       15 . A mounting system according to  claim 14 , wherein said interacting means includes at least one of a strap, a clip member, a band and a patch.  
   
   
       16 . A mounting system according to  claim 14 , wherein said mounting member is adjustable in depth relative to said interacting means.  
   
   
       17 . A mounting system according to  claim 14 , wherein said mounting member telescopes relative to said interacting means.  
   
   
       18 . A mounting system according to  claim 14 , wherein said interacting means includes mounting features formed thereon.  
   
   
       19 . A mounting system according to  claim 14 , wherein said interacting means includes a plurality of slots or die-cuts to facilitate positioning said interacting means with respect to an arcuate item.  
   
   
       20 . A mounting system according to  claim 14 , wherein said means for detachably positioning includes teeth and at least one deflectable member.  
   
   
       21 . A mounting system according to  claim 14 , wherein said means for detachably positioning includes a spring member.  
   
   
       22 . A mounting system according to  claim 14 , further comprising a track member that is configured and dimensioned to facilitate mounting of said hook member.  
   
   
       23 . A mounting system according to  claim 22 , wherein said hook member is repositionable along an x-axis of said track member.  
   
   
       24 . A mounting device comprising: 
 (a) a substantially planar portion; and    (b) a first connecting element,    wherein said first connecting element projects from said planar portion so as to be operatively connectable with a second connecting element associated with a mountable structure.    
   
   
       25 . A mounting device according to  claim 24 , wherein said mountable structure has one or more panel elements.  
   
   
       26 . A mounting device according to  claim 25 , wherein said panel elements are pivotally associated with said mountable structure.  
   
   
       27 . A mounting device according to  claim 25 , wherein said panel elements have one or more fastening elements associated therewith.  
   
   
       28 . A connecting device comprising: 
 one or more connecting elements for operatively connecting to various complementary connecting elements associated with different mounting devices; and    a hook structure operatively and pivotally connected to the connecting device via at least one hinge element,    wherein said hook structure may be selectively folded over the connecting device.
