  • Patent number: 5673803
    Abstract: A peg board system presents a plastic panel having a plurality of peg receiving holes and fastener receiving holes therein. The fastener receiving holes are spaced at selected lateral distances, e.g. 16 inch centers, so as to align the fastener holes with the wall studs. Spacers displace the fastened panel from the wall. The peg receiving apertures are tapered to receive pegs of a similar configuration in a friction fit relationship therein. At one end of each peg is a resilient bulb for extension from the rear of the hole with a disk at the opposed peg end for attachment to various devices. The bulb precludes the peg from sliding out the hole and cooperates with the shank to securely and releasably engage each peg with each tapered hole. Various items may be fastened to the pegs so as to be supported from the peg board upon peg insertion into selected peg receiving apertures.

  • Patent number: 4630627
    Abstract: A collapsible frame structure has an upper frame section connected to a base frame section by a plurality of hinged struts. Both the upper frame and the base frame section comprise a pair of opposed rigid frame members pivotally connected by opposed hinged frame members. The hinged members fold inward of each section to collapse the section and extend outward to expand the section. The hinged struts fold inward of the structure to raise and lower the upper section relative to the base section. A pair of winches mounted to the base frame section and operatively connected to the struts extend the struts to raise the upper frame section above the base frame section to an operative frame position. Stabilizing members are mounted to an upper portion of the struts to balance the weight of the upper section upon the struts, thus enabling the struts to extend.
