Abstract

A wall furniture mounting device includes an elongated mounting rail having a wall anchor plate, with a plurality of apertures, a hook section, and a support section. The plurality of apertures is configured into a pattern so that each aperture is uniquely identifiable quickly via visual inspection. The pattern repeats along the mounting rail at an interval equal to the distance between wall studs.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A device for hanging cabinetry comprising:
 an elongated rigid rail having a wall anchor plate connecting an upper hook section and a lower support section,   at least two apertures through the wall anchor plate;   a repetitive pattern comprised of the at least two apertures; and   a visually distinct indicia associated with each aperture.   
   
   
       2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the visually distinct indicia is the transverse cross-sectional shape of the aperture. 
   
   
       3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the visually distinct indicia is color-coded. 
   
   
       4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the visually distinct indicia is a shape circumscribing the aperture. 
   
   
       5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the upper hook section is not planar with the wall anchor plate. 
   
   
       6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the at least two apertures are spaced equidistant apart. 
   
   
       7 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the at least two apertures are spaced 1.0 inch apart. 
   
   
       8 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the at least two apertures each have a distinct location within the repetitive pattern. 
   
   
       9 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the wall anchor plate has a length of at least 16 inches. 
   
   
       10 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the pattern of the at least two apertures repeats every 16 inches. 
   
   
       11 . A device for hanging cabinetry comprising:
 an elongated rigid rail having a wall anchor plate connecting an upper hook section and a lower support section,   at least two apertures through the wall anchor plate;   a repetitive pattern comprised of the at least two apertures; and   a visually distinct indicia associated with each aperture, wherein the visually distinct indicia is the transverse cross-sectional shape of the aperture.   
   
   
       12 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the upper hook section is not planar with the wall anchor plate. 
   
   
       13 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the at least two apertures are spaced equidistant apart. 
   
   
       14 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the at least two apertures are spaced 1.0 inch apart. 
   
   
       15 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the at least two apertures each have a distinct location within the repetitive pattern. 
   
   
       16 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the wall anchor plate has a length of at least 16 inches. 
   
   
       17 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the pattern of the at least two apertures repeats every 16 inches. 
   
   
       18 . A device for hanging cabinetry comprising:
 an elongated rigid rail having a wall anchor plate connecting an upper hook section and a lower support section,   at least two apertures through the wall anchor plate;   a repetitive pattern comprised of the at least two apertures; and   a visually distinct indicia associated with each aperture, wherein the visually distinct indicia is color-coded.   
   
   
       19 . The device of  claim 18 , wherein the upper hook section is not planar with the wall anchor plate. 
   
   
       20 . The device of  claim 18 , wherein the at least two apertures are spaced equidistant apart. 
   
   
       21 . The device of  claim 18 , wherein the at least two apertures are spaced 1.0 inch apart. 
   
   
       22 . The device of  claim 18 , wherein the at least two apertures each have a distinct location within the repetitive pattern. 
   
   
       23 . The device of  claim 18 , wherein the wall anchor plate has a length of at least 16 inches. 
   
   
       24 . The device of  claim 18 , wherein the pattern of the at least two apertures repeats every 16 inches.
