Patent number: 10882177Abstract: Disclosed is a bracket that couples a pegboard to a table without requiring a separate table for a stand-alone table and a pegboard-coupled table. The bracket can include vertical and horizontal portions that couple to a pegboard and table, respectively. The bracket can further include tabs that grip the table or pegboard for additional support. The bracket therefore allows for a pegboard to be attached to a table, or for the table to be sold without the pegboard, therefore freeing substantial inventory for the seller of the table and pegboard combination.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2018Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: Brennan Equipment and Manufacturing, Inc.Inventors: Peter Sullivan, Kyle Graben

Patent number: 10843326Abstract: A bracket for a board that removably couples to a base. The bracket can include a slot at one end and a compression member at the other end. The slot can fit over the base at a first end of the base and can be removed from that end of the base upon removal of the compression member at the other end of the base. The compression member can be removed against a bias such that the compression member applies a bias to the base when the bracket is coupled to the base, and that bias can be removed so as to allow the removal of the bracket. A pegboard or other type of board can be coupled to the bracket with fasteners or other known means.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2018Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: Brennan Equipment and Manufacturing Inc.Inventors: Kyle Graben, Peter Sullivan
