Wall-mounted z rail with quick attach accessories

Abstract

A system and method for hanging an object on a supporting structure, the system comprising: a rail for affixing to a supporting structure, the rail comprising a vertical bend extending outward from the supporting structure and forming a projection; and a bracket accessory slidably mounted in a z-direction on the rail, wherein the bracket accessory has a hook for slidably engaging the projection on the rail, the bracket accessory moveable in the z-direction along the rail, or a positive y-direction up from the rail only.

1 . A hanging system for hanging an object on a supporting structure, the system comprising:
 a rail for affixing to a supporting structure, the rail comprising a vertical bend extending outward from the supporting structure and forming a projection; and   a bracket accessory slidably mounted in a z-direction on the rail, wherein the bracket accessory has a hook for slidably engaging the projection on the rail, the bracket accessory moveable in the z-direction along the rail, or a positive y-direction up from the rail only.   
   
   
       2 . The hanging system of  claim 1 , wherein the bracket accessory comprises at least one of: a shelf, a hook, a bin, a tray, a kitchen accessory, a vase, a toothbrush holder and a soap dish. 
   
   
       3 . The hanging system of  claim 1 , wherein the rail has an attaching means allowing the rail to be affixed to the supporting structure at a desired location. 
   
   
       4 . The hanging system of  claim 1 , wherein the bracket accessory is securely attached to the rail to prevent rotation along the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis. 
   
   
       5 . The hanging system of  claim 1 , wherein the bracket accessory is slidable along the rail in the z-direction. 
   
   
       6 . The hanging system of  claim 1 , wherein the bracket accessory is formed from one piece of metal. 
   
   
       7 . A method for hanging an object on a supporting structure, the method comprising:
 attaching a rail to a support structure, the rail comprising a vertical bend extending outward from the supporting structure, forming a projection; and   engaging a bracket accessory to the rail by slidably mounting the bracket accessory on the rail in a z-direction, wherein the bracket accessory has a hook for slidably engaging the projection on the rail, the bracket accessory moveable in the z-direction along the rail, or a positive y-direction up from the rail only.   
   
   
       8 . The method for hanging an object of  claim 7 , wherein the bracket accessory comprises at least one of: a shelf, a hook, a bin, a tray, a kitchen accessory, a vase, a toothbrush holder and a soap dish. 
   
   
       9 . The method for hanging an object of  claim 7 , wherein the rail has an attaching means allowing the rail to be affixed to the supporting structure at a desired location. 
   
   
       10 . The method for hanging an object of  claim 7 , wherein the bracket accessory is securely attached to the rail to prevent rotation along the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis. 
   
   
       11 . The method for hanging an object of  claim 7 , wherein the bracket accessory is slidable along the rail in the z-direction. 
   
   
       12 . The method for hanging an object of  claim 7 , wherein the bracket accessory is formed from one piece of metal.
