Article for mounting on an inclined or vertical surface

Abstract

An article for mounting on an inclined or vertical surface includes at least one piece of reclosable fastener material, collectively comprising a plurality of apertures formed therein; and at least one pocket, located within the article behind said piece(s) of reclosable fastener material, each of the apertures providing a respective passageway from the pocket(s) to an exterior of the article. Each aperture permits a head of an elongate fastener to be inserted therethrough, so that the elongate fastener can be retained within the pocket(s), and the plurality of apertures thereby allowing the article to hang from a plurality of elongate fasteners that have been driven into the surface.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An article for mounting on an inclined or vertical surface, comprising:
 at least one piece of reclosable fastener material, collectively comprising a plurality of apertures formed therein; and   at least one pocket, located within the article behind said piece(s) of reclosable fastener material, each of said apertures providing a respective passageway from the pocket(s) to an exterior of the article,   wherein each aperture permits a head of an elongate fastener to be inserted therethrough, so that said elongate fastener can be retained within said pocket(s), said plurality of apertures thereby allowing the article to hang from a plurality of elongate fasteners that have been driven into said surface.   
     
     
         2 . The article of  claim 1 , wherein each of said apertures is shaped as a slit or slot. 
     
     
         3 . The article of  claim 1 , wherein the article is configured to cover the head of said elongate fastener when inserted into one of said apertures and retained in said pocket(s). 
     
     
         4 . The article of  claim 1 , wherein the piece(s) of reclosable fastener material is (are) located at an edge of the article. 
     
     
         5 . The article of  claim 1 , wherein the article comprises a bag, a sack or a container. 
     
     
         6 . The article of  claim 1 , wherein the article comprises a sack having a mouth, the mouth comprising a first lip portion, on which said piece(s) of reclosable fastener material is (are) arranged. 
     
     
         7 . The article of  claim 6 , wherein the article further comprises a second piece, or set of pieces, of reclosable fastener material, and the mouth comprises a second lip portion, on which said second piece, or set of pieces, of reclosable fastener material is (are) arranged, said first and second lip portions being arranged on opposite sides of said mouth. 
     
     
         8 . The article of  claim 6 , wherein the article comprises a sheet of flexible material, to which said first and second pieces, or sets, of reclosable fastener material are attached, the sheet of flexible material being folded so as to provide the mouth and first and second lip portions. 
     
     
         9 . A kit comprising:
 an article for mounting on an inclined or vertical surface, the article comprising:
 at least one piece of reclosable fastener material, collectively comprising a plurality of apertures formed therein; and 
 at least one pocket, located within the article behind said piece(s) of reclosable fastener material, each of said apertures providing a respective passageway from the pocket(s) to an exterior of the article, 
 wherein each aperture permits a head of an elongate fastener to be inserted therethrough, so that said elongate fastener can be retained within said pocket(s), said plurality of apertures thereby allowing the article to hang from a plurality of elongate fasteners that have been driven into said surface; and 
   at least one piece of reclosable fastener material, having a first side configured to fasten to at least one piece of reclosable fastener material on the article.   
     
     
         10 . The kit of  claim 9 , further comprising a plurality of elongate fasteners configured to be inserted into said plurality of apertures and retained within said pocket(s). 
     
     
         11 . The kit of  claim 9 , comprising instructions to insert the heads of elongate fasteners into said plurality of apertures in order to mount the article to an inclined or vertical surface. 
     
     
         12 . The kit of  claim 11 , wherein said instructions indicate dimensions of elongate fasteners suitable for insertion into said plurality of apertures and retention within said pocket(s).
