Systems and methods for attaching one or more panels to a wall

Abstract

A system for installing a panel to an interior wall is disclosed. The system includes a mounting bracket attached to the wall. The mounting bracket includes a lip. The system also includes a friction bracket attached to a backside of the panel. The friction bracket attaches to the lip.

That which is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for installing a panel to an interior wall, the system comprising:
 a mounting bracket attached to the wall, wherein the mounting bracket comprises a lip; and   a friction bracket attached to a backside of the panel, wherein the friction bracket attaches to the lip.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a slot formed between the friction bracket and the backside of the panel. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the lip is disposed within the slot. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a magnet disposed within a cavity of the mounting bracket. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , further comprising a cap disposed adjacent to the magnet. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a second mounting bracket attachable to the mounting bracket. 
     
     
         7 . An assembly, comprising:
 a mounting bracket attached to an interior wall, wherein the mounting bracket comprises a lip;   a panel; and   a friction bracket attached to a backside of the panel, wherein the friction bracket attaches to the lip; and   a slot formed between the friction bracket and the backside of the panel.   
     
     
         8 . The assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the lip is disposed within the slot. 
     
     
         9 . The assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the slot comprises an upper slot facing up and a lower slot facing down. 
     
     
         10 . The assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the lip comprises an upper lip extending upward and a lower lip extending downward. 
     
     
         11 . The assembly of  claim 7 , further comprising a magnet disposed within a cavity of the mounting bracket. 
     
     
         12 . The assembly of  claim 11 , further comprising a cap disposed adjacent to the magnet. 
     
     
         13 . The assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the panel comprises a plurality of panels. 
     
     
         14 . The assembly of  claim 13 , wherein the mounting bracket comprises a plurality of mounting brackets. 
     
     
         15 . The assembly of  claim 14 , wherein the friction bracket comprises a plurality of friction brackets. 
     
     
         16 . The assembly of  claim 15 , further comprising a magnet disposed within a cavity of a top mounting bracket of the plurality of mounting brackets. 
     
     
         17 . The assembly of  claim 16 , further comprising a top cap disposed adjacent to the top magnet. 
     
     
         18 . The assembly of  claim 15 , further comprising a magnet disposed within a cavity of a bottom mounting bracket of the plurality of mounting brackets. 
     
     
         19 . The assembly of  claim 18 , further comprising a bottom cap disposed adjacent to the bottom magnet. 
     
     
         20 . A method for installing a panel to an interior wall, the method comprising:
 providing a mounting bracket attachable to the wall, wherein the mounting bracket comprises a lip; and   providing a friction bracket attachable to a backside of the panel, wherein the friction bracket attaches to the lip.
