Wall hanging system

Abstract

Various example embodiments disclosed herein include systems and methods for a wall hanging system. Example embodiments include: a wall mount formed with a longitudinally elongated body having upper and lower ends and a wall-facing surface, the upper end being formed with a longitudinal rail for engaging a channel in a frame member, the wall mount including an attachment mechanism to attach the wall mount to a wall surface, the wall mount further including an embedded leveling indicator to enable level attachment of the wall mount to the wall surface; and a frame including at least one frame member, each frame member being formed with a first longitudinal channel for engaging the rail of the upper end of the wall mount, each frame member being formed with a second longitudinal channel for engaging an edge of a wall hanging item inserted into the frame.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A wall hanging system comprising:
 a wall mount formed with a longitudinally elongated body having upper and lower ends and a wall-facing surface, the upper end being formed with a longitudinal rail for engaging a channel in a frame member, the wall mount including an attachment mechanism to attach the wall mount to a wall surface, the wall mount further including an embedded leveling indicator to enable level attachment of the wall mount to the wall surface; and   a frame including at least one frame member, each frame member being formed with a first longitudinal channel for engaging the rail of the upper end of the wall mount, each frame member being formed with a second longitudinal channel for engaging an edge of a wall hanging item inserted into the frame.   
     
     
         2 . The wall hanging system of  claim 1  wherein the attachment mechanism is adhesive strips on the wall-facing surface of the wall mount. 
     
     
         3 . The wall hanging system of  claim 1  wherein the attachment mechanism is a wall penetrating device on a room-facing surface of the wall mount. 
     
     
         4 . The wall hanging system of  claim 1  wherein the leveling indicator is a spirit level or a bubble level. 
     
     
         5 . The wall hanging system of  claim 1  wherein the wall mount further includes a laser pointer directed longitudinally parallel to the wall mount. 
     
     
         6 . The wall hanging system of  claim 1  wherein the wall mount is formed with a longitudinal groove in which the leveling indicator is embedded. 
     
     
         7 . The wall hanging system of  claim 1  wherein the frame is configured to enable adjustment of the position of the frame laterally left or right while the frame is mounted on the wall mount. 
     
     
         8 . The wall hanging system of  claim 1  wherein the wall mount and the frame are both fabricated from the same material from the group consisting of: wood, metal, composite, and plastic. 
     
     
         9 . The wall hanging system of  claim 1  wherein the wall hanging item includes a backing substructure fabricated from a material from the group: corrugated backing, cardboard, cardstock, wood, composites, metal, plastic, acrylic, and foam core. 
     
     
         10 . The wall hanging system of  claim 1  wherein the wall hanging system is configured to display an image.
