Surface-mounting Holding Device

Abstract

A surface-mounting holding device includes a holding assembly and a mounting assembly. The mounting assembly further comprises a mounting foot and a mounting shoe. The mounting shoe is capable of being mounted to a flat surface. The mounting foot is capable of coupling with the mounting shoe and rotating within the mounting shoe. When the mounting foot is coupled with the mounting shoe, the holding assembly is affixed to the wall. The mounting foot is capable of coupling with the mounting shoe in an engaged position and in an unengaged position. If the mounting foot is in the unengaged position, the holding assembly is rotatable while remaining secured to the mounting shoe such that the holding assembly has various mounting positions on the wall. The surface-mounting holding device is capable of holding objects of different sizes.

 a holding assembly in which objects of different sizes may be stored and accessed, the holding assembly having a first securing member configured to only contact a first surface of an object and a second securing member configured to only contact a second surface of an object;   a mounting mechanism capable of engaging said holding assembly without contacting said objects;   wherein said mounting mechanism is capable of rotating said holding assembly between at least a first position and a second position.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said mounting mechanism further comprises:
 a mounting foot, said mounting foot attached to said holding assembly;   a mounting shoe, said mounting shoe is capable of coupling with said mounting foot in an engaged position and an unengaged position;   at least one tab on said mounting shoe;   wherein said mounting foot has a plurality of teeth;   wherein said at least one tab is capable of engaging with said teeth such that said holding assembly is in a rotationally fixed position relative to said mounting shoe and in said engaged position.   
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein when said teeth are not engaged with said at least one tab, said mounting foot is rotatable such that said holding assembly is capable of moving to said second position. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein said mounting mechanism is further comprised of:
 a guiding recess on said mounting foot;   a locking nub on said mounting shoe;   
       wherein when said mounting foot couples with said mounting shoe, said locking nub is contained within said guiding recess such that said mounting foot is capable of moving between said engaged position and unengaged position while remaining secured into said mounting shoe. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein said guiding recess can be in different sizes or shapes. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein when said mounting foot couples with said mounting shoe, said mounting foot depresses said locking nub for moving said locking nub into said guiding recess to make an audible sound, such that said audible sound indicates that said mounting foot is secured into said mounting shoe. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein said holding assembly further comprises:
 a first plate coupled to the first securing member;   a second plate, said second plate overlaps with said first plate and said second plate coupled to the second securing member;   wherein said second securing member is movable relative to said first securing member,   wherein when said second plate moves relative to said first plate, said holding assembly is extendable in length for holding objects of different sizes.   
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein said mounting shoe is semi-circular shaped. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein said mounting shoe is capable of mounting to a flat surface. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said holding assembly is capable of holding a box or object containing disposable or single use items. 
     
     
         11 . A holding device comprising
 a holding assembly, capable of securing objects of different sizes, the holding assembly having a first securing member configured to only contact a first surface of an object and a second securing member configured to only contact a second surface of an object;   a mounting shoe, said mounting shoe further having:   at least one tab on at least one edge of said mounting shoe,   a pair of brackets, and   a locking nub;   a mounting foot, said mounting foot attached to said holding assembly, having:   a guiding recess for receiving said locking nub, and   a plurality of teeth for engaging with said at least one tab;   wherein when said mounting foot couples with said mounting shoe, said locking   nub is captured within said guiding recess such that said mounting foot is capable of moving between an engaged position and an unengaged position in said mounting shoe;   wherein when said mounting foot couples with said mounting shoe, said mounting foot depresses said locking nub for moving said locking nub into said guiding recess to make an audible sound, such that said audible sound indicates that said mounting foot is secured into said mounting shoe;   wherein when said teeth engage with said at least one tab in said engaged position, said holding assembly is affixed to said mounting shoe;   wherein said teeth are rotatable in said unengaged position within said brackets when said at least one tab is not engaged with said teeth.   
     
     
         12 . (canceled) 
     
     
         13 . The holding device of  claim 11 , wherein said holding assembly further comprises:
 a first plate, said first plate having a first securing member;   a second plate, said second plate overlaps with said first plate and said second plate having a second securing member;   wherein said second securing member is movable relative to said first securing member,   wherein when said second plate moves relative to said first plate, said holding assembly is extendable in length for holding objects of different sizes.   
     
     
         14 . The holding device of  claim 11 , wherein said mounting shoe is capable of mounting to a flat surface. 
     
     
         15 . The holding device of  claim 11 , wherein said mounting shoe is capable of mounting via screws, nails, double sided adhesives or adhesive glues. 
     
     
         16 . A mounting mechanism, comprising
 a mounting shoe, said mounting shoe further having:   a pair of brackets,   at least one tab on at least one edge of said mounting shoe, and a locking nub;   a mounting foot having:
 a guiding recess for receiving said locking nub, and 
 a plurality of teeth for engaging with said brackets, said teeth capable of engaging with at least one tab; 
   wherein when said mounting foot couples with said mounting shoe, said locking nub engages with said guiding recess such that said teeth are capable of moving between an engaged position and an unengaged position;   wherein when said teeth engage with said at least one tab in said engaged position, a holding assembly is securely held in said engaged position;   wherein when said teeth engage with said at least one tab in said engaged position said teeth and said at least one tab are adjacent to each other;   wherein said teeth are rotatable in said unengaged position within said brackets when said at least one tab is not engaged with said teeth;   wherein when said teeth engage with said mounting shoe, said mounting foot depresses said locking nub for moving said locking nub into said guiding recess to make an audible sound, such that said audible sound indicates that said holding assembly is secured into said mounting shoe.
