Patent number: 11870228Abstract: A wire basket system formed of a wire basket and a support bracket that secures the wire basket to the ceiling by a threaded rod. The support bracket includes a main member with a top, a bottom, a first end, a second end, a first side, and a second side. A first arm extends downwardly from the first side of the main member and a second arm extends downwardly from the second side of the main member. The first arm and the second arm include a J-shaped hook. The J-shaped hooks of the first and second arms are aligned thereby enabling the support bracket to receive a wire of the wire basket in the wire basket system.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2022Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Panduit Corp.Inventors: Jeremy S. Parrish, Bon B. Sledzinski, David W. West
