  • Patent number: 5170898
    Abstract: The present invention teaches a modular fixture (also sometimes in the trade referred to as fixture-ware) system, the features of which include and are characterized by the user's ability to set the system up and "knock it" down without the need of tools. This attractive and unique fixture system includes one or more lockable bracket assemblies which may be lockably positioned at any one or more of several locking positions, while at the same time facilitating locking at any of a substantially infinite number of positions. At least one vertical support member is formed with what may to some look like an I-type beam configuration. The differences between this configuration and an actual conventionally used I-beam, however, are apparent. The bracket assemblies include non-vertical portions adapted to support hanging articles, such as by way of example only, clothing, which may be on hangers.

  • Patent number: 4512122
    Abstract: The present invention provides an improved panel fastener system for insulated slab panels of the type having one housing holding a hook assembly having a hook member and opposed hubs extending from a cam connected to the hook member; and a second housing having a pin adapted to receive the hook of the hook member. The invention provides an assembly method for mounting the hook member into the first housing including opposed resilient walls perpendicular to the front wall of the first housing forming a vertical slot adapted to receive the hook member. A pair of inclined planes lead from the rear portion of the housing to a pair of hub housing receptacles formed in the walls. The extended hubs are inserted into the slot from the rear of the housing along the inclined planes. The resilient walls are pressed back until the hubs reach the receptacles, at which time the biased walls snap back into their original configuration, capturing the hubs and the hook member in the first housing.
