Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates generally to decorative, damage-free articles, systems, and kits capable of providing sound dampening and of being hung on a vertical surface or wall.
  • various decorative articles such as artwork, photographs, mirrors, moldings, etc.
  • one or more mechanical fasteners e.g., nails, screws or hooks
  • installation of a decorative article is less time-consuming than painting or applying wall paper, time and skill must be invested to ensure that the mechanical fastener is optimally located along the wall surface. The mechanical fastener permanently damages the wall and cannot easily be repositioned.
  • fastening systems (often referred to as picture hanging strips) are packaged and provided as a pair of pre-cut, adhesive-backed strips.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 One example of such a system is shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
  • the first strip carries a plurality of hooks (or similar structures), and the second strip carries a plurality of complementary loops.
  • the user must adhere a first one of the two strips to the decorative article, and adhere the second strip to the wall.
  • the article is then supported relative to the wall via engagement between the hooks and loops.
  • a relationship of the decorative article/first strip relative to the wall/second strip can be slightly altered by disconnecting and then reconnecting the hooks and loops, or by a minor rotation of the decorative article/first strip relative to the wall/second strip (without separating the hooks and loops). Further, when complete removal of the decorative article from the wall is desired, the strips can be de-bonded from the decorative article and the wall surface, respectively.
  • FIG. 3 Another example of such a system is shown in Fig. 3.
  • the decor assembly 32 includes a decor element 5 opposite a two-piece releasable fastening structure 10.
  • the releasable fastening structure can be attached to the wall using, for example, the picture hanging strips described above or other adhesive strips.
  • the two-piece releasable fastening structure 10 is held together magnetically. Summary
  • the inventors of the present disclosure recognized the many advantages and benefits of the existing commercially available hanging devices shown in Figs. 1-3. However, they saw opportunities to further improve these useful, reliable products. Specifically, the inventors of the present disclosure recognized the desire of users to hang items other than relatively light-weight artwork without damaging the walls to which these items are hung. For example, the inventors discovered that users may want to hang sound dampening devices. In some embodiments, the sound dampening reduces the reverb time (e.g., echo) within a structure. This can allow users to tune the environment to better fit the purpose of the space, be it, for example, talking/listening clearly by reducing background noise or having better overall acoustics for music or television sound.
  • the reverb time e.g., echo
  • Some embodiments of the present application generally relate to a system for decorating a wall surface, comprising: a decor assembly including a sound dampening decor element; a releaseable fastening structure opposite the decor assembly, the releasable fastening structure including a plurality of first fastening elements; a backer maintaining the sound dampening decor element; a base maintaining the releasable fastening structure; and a complementary fastening structure including a pressure sensitive adhesive opposite a plurality of second fastening elements; wherein the first fastening elements are releasably mateable with the second fastening elements to define a releasable fastening system; and wherein the backer is releasably mounted to the base.
  • kits for decorating a wall comprising: a plurality of decor assemblies each including: a sound dampening decor element; a panel defining opposing, first and second major faces; the sound dampening decor element disposed over the first major face of the panel, a releasable fastening s rigidture permanently secured to the second major face and providing a plurality of first fastening elements; and a plurality of complementary fastening structures provided apart from the decor assemblies and each comprising a base defining opposing, first and second major surfaces, a pressure sensitive adhesive disposed on the first major surface and a plurality of second fastening elements on the second major surface; wherein the first fastening elements are releasably mateable with the second fastening elements to define a releasable fastening system; and wherein the kit is configured such that at least one of the complementary fastening structures is releasably applied to a wall and is connected to and supports one of the decor assemblies
  • Some embodiments relate to a method for decorating a wall, the method comprising:
  • the decor assembly includes: a sound dampening decor element, a panel defining opposing, first and second major faces, wherein the sound dampening decor element is disposed over the first major face, a releasable fastening structure secured to the second major face and providing a plurality of first fastening elements, wherein the releasable fastening structure covers at least 10% of the available surface area, and further wherein the complementary fastening structure includes a base defining opposing, first and second major surfaces, an adhesive layer disposed on the first major surface, and a plurality of second fastening elements on the second major surface, wherein the first fastening elements are releasably mateable with the second fastening elements to define a releasable fastening system; adhering the adhesive layer of the complementary fastening structure to a location along the wall; wherein the decor assembly is secured relative to the wall by the complementary fastening structure via

  • Fig. 2 is a perspective view illustrating an object attached to a wall by the prior art adhesive tape construction of Fig. 1.
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective, exploded view of a portion of an exemplary prior art decor assembly.
  • FIG. 4 is a drawing of an exemplary embodiment of a sound dampening article/system/kit that enable users to decoratively and securely provide enhanced sound dampening.
  • a decor assembly that includes a sound dampening decor portion and a complementary fastening structure capable of holding the decor portion to a wall or vertical surface.
  • the decor assembly can be the same as or similar to those described in International Patent Publication No. WO 2014/197390, the entirety of which is incorporated by reference herein, except that the front face of the decor portion is capable of providing sound dampening properties.
  • the sound dampening properties are provided by a covering on at least a portion of the front face of the decor portion with a sound dampening material or structure.
  • the materials that can be used to provide sound dampening are many and varied and include, for example, felt, foam (including, for example, open cell foam and compressible foam), perforated film (including, for example, films described in U.S. Patent No.
  • the materials may be any desired color, pattern, thickness, texture, shape, orientation, etc.
