Abstract

An easy viewing invisible mounting system includes a right angle bracket and a substantially planar, longitudinally extending hanger. The hanger defines, adjacent its top end, a circular aperture adapted to receive a fastener therethrough to mount the hanger on the wall, and, remote from its top end, a longitudinally aligned and spaced apart pair of elongated slots oriented parallel to a longitudinal axis of the hanger. A fastener extends through each slot to secure the hanger to the bracket vertical edge while enabling limited relative vertical sliding movement thereof along the hanger longitudinal axis, whereby the hanger may be slid in one direction for storage with the entirety of the hanger disposed on the bracket vertical edge or slid in the opposite direction to expose the aperture above the bracket for viewing during mounting of the hanger on the wall. The system may include a pair of the hangers, one on each bracket edge, and one or both hangers may afford a shelf-lock feature.
