  • Publication number: 20080128372
    Abstract: A pegboard panel includes a plurality of perforations and a plurality of box-anchor receptacles that project outwardly from a rear surface. Each box-anchor receptacle communicates with one of the plurality of perforations and includes a back wall that is spaced from the rear surface and that defines a through opening arranged in substantially coaxial relation with the perforation. A storage system is also provided that includes the foregoing pegboard panel into which a fastener is positioned within the through opening. A portion of the fastener engages the back wall so as to secure the pegboard panel to a structure, e.g., a wall, thereby forming an interface between the fastener, the back wall, and the structure. A support device engages a portion of one of the plurality of box-anchor receptacles so as to be positioned on the front surface of the pegboard panel so that loads supported by the support device act directly upon the fastener-wall-structure interface.
