  • Patent number: 7757869
    Abstract: A flexible deformable retainer has top and bottom horizontal walls and lateral vertical walls, the latter being perpendicular to a slatwall track, respectively to top and bottom horizontal walls of the latter. Top and bottom horizontal walls have edges abutting a central flat body of a hanger's bracket and each outward edge has a removal cutoff. Lateral vertical walls are used for insertion into vertical slits provided in a hanger's bracket. Each lateral vertical wall includes a curvature configured for snapping into a vertical slit. The retainer is able when the hanger is bumped vertically, to engage, via upper edges of its lateral vertical walls, a horizontal top of an intermediate channel of the slatwall track. A gap is provided between a horizontal top of the latter and the upper edges of retainer's lateral vertical walls.

  • Patent number: 7575212
    Abstract: A mounting bracket for a slotted upright featuring a channel member having a channel and a forwardly extending element. An insert is positioned within the channel member and has L-shaped fingers extending through the channel. The insert is secured within the channel member by fastening screws through the channel member and into the insert. When the bracket is placed on a slotted upright so that the L-shaped fingers of the insert are within the upright slots, tightening of the screws causes the fingers of the insert to engage the slots of the slotted upright and pushes the rear side of the channel member tightly against the slotted upright. This creates an overlying relationship where the L-shaped fingers and rear side of the channel member sandwich the slotted upright to provide an extremely secure connection. The mounting bracket is easily installed or removed by tightening or loosening the screws.

  • Publication number: 20090090829
    Abstract: A wall-mounted device (1) which ensures easy confirmation of the mounting of a to-be-mounted-on-wall object on a wall surface or the like, and can prevent the to-be-mounted-on-wall object from falling off, and a timepiece having the device are provided. First, an attachment fitting (30) is fixed to the wall surface or the like by screws. Then, a hook part (30a) of the attachment fitting (30) is hooked on a hanging part (13) of the wall-mounted device (1) while deforming an elastic plate member (10) inward. When deformation of the elastic plate member (10) is released, vibration occurs together with generation of a light impact sound at the time the elastic plate member returns from the deformed state to the original state. With a first bent part (10a) of the elastic plate member (10) being in abutment with the hook part (30a) of the attachment fitting (30), the to-be-mounted-on-wall object is mounted on the wall surface or the like.
