  • Publication number: 20240148166
    Abstract: A pegboard hanger assembly that secures firmly to commercially available pegboards and accommodates for typical variations in board thickness and hole diameter while maintaining a firm, wobble-free connection. The pegboard hanger assembly includes: a hanger including a hanger base and a pin projecting from a rear surface thereof; and a grommet adapted to receive the pin. A rear-facing curved hook, made from a resiliently flexible material, inserts into a hole in the pegboard, creating a pre-load when fully installed. Pre-load is maintained by the interaction of (1) the pin protruding from the rear of the hanger base; (2) the grommet; and (3) the hole of the pegboard. Using two pegboard holes to create and maintain a clamping force (via pre-load) eliminates a majority of hanger wobble.

  • Publication number: 20220000284
    Abstract: A pegboard hanger assembly is provided for mounting on a pegboard surface. The pegboard includes a first hole formed therethrough. The pegboard hanger assembly includes: a hanger including a hanger base and a pin projecting from a rear surface thereof, the pin including flanged end and a grommet locatable on the at least one hole formed through the pegboard surface, the grommet including a passage formed therethrough and an inwardly projecting shoulder formed within the passage of the grommet. The pin projecting from the hanger is insertable through the passage of the grommet and the flanged end of the pin is insertable through the shoulder of the passage of the grommet when the grommet is located on the at least one hole formed through the pegboard surface to secure the hanger on the pegboard surface.

  • Patent number: 6273286
    Abstract: According to the present invention, a ventilating system is used to equalize a first pressure within an enclosure, and a second pressure outside of the enclosure. The ventilating system includes a body member having an exterior surface adapted to seal against an inner surface of the enclosure. The body member has an interior surface forming a conical section oriented in a first direction. The ventilating system also includes an overpressure relief member for venting fluids from within the enclosure when the first pressure is greater than the second pressure. The overpressure relief member has an outside surface that forms a conical section oriented in the first direction. The overpressure relief member includes an outside surface that separates from the interior surface of the body member when the first pressure is greater than the second pressure.
