Abstract:
Provided is, among other things, an apparatus for facilitating the hanging of an object on a wall or other surface. The apparatus includes: a main body section having a front surface and an elongated first opening; an upper section connected to the main body section and having a protruding portion that protrudes away from the front surface; a lower section connected to the main body section and having a second opening for accepting, as well as a structure for holding, a hanging/attachment element; and a securing mechanism. The upper section is slidably attached to the main body section via the elongated first opening and thereby capable of moving vertically up and down said main body section, but can be temporarily fixed at a desired position along the main body section by using the securing mechanism.
Abstract:
Provided is, among other things, an apparatus for holding a fastener, which includes: a main body structure; and a fastener holding member rotatably attached to the main body structure, such that the fastener holding member is capable of rotating relative to the main body structure around a rotation axis. The fastener holding member also includes a pair of notches on opposite sides of the rotation axis, which are sized and shaped to accommodate a fastener, such as a nail or a screw.

Provided is, among other things, an apparatus for facilitating the hanging of an object on a wall or other surface. This apparatus includes: a main body section having a first surface; an upper section connected to the main body section and having a protruding portion that protrudes away from the first surface; a lower section connected to the main body section and having an opening for accepting and holding a hanging/attachment element; and a securing mechanism. At least one of the upper section or the lower section is a slidable section that is slidably attached to the main body section and thereby capable of moving vertically up and down the main body section, but can be temporarily fixed at an arbitrary position along the main body section using the securing mechanism.
Abstract:
An Improved Traction Pedal includes a first surface, a second surface, and a plurality of traction studs. The plurality of traction studs is disposed upon the first surface. The traction studs are used to create a greater frictional resistance between the pedal and the user's foot.
