Abstract
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention Il] The present invention relates generally to a hook but more particularly to an improved hook for use with a pegboard.
However, the hooks of the prior art have several disadvantages. Due to their shape and connection with holes of a pegboard, the hooks are easily dislodged from the holes when aceidentally bumped into.
Specifically, any upward motion on a hook will dislodge it from a pegboard.
Further, when a user attempts to retrieve a hanging object or tool from a hook on a pegboard, the act of retrieving the object often dislodges the hook from the pegboard, frustrating the user, and even causing damage to the object or hook, and possibly injury to the user. Consequently, an improved hook for use with a pegboard is needed.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[31 In one embodiment of the present invention a hook for use with a pegboard is provided, comprising a vertical central body having a flat back side, a front side, an upper portion, central portion, and a lower portion; a L-shaped upper anchor configured to be inserted into a first hole of the pegboard, wherein the L-shaped upper anchor is attached to the upper portion of the vertical central body; a U-shaped lower anchor configured to be inserted into a second hole of the pegboard, wherein the U-shaped lower anchor is attached to the lower portion of the vertical central body; and, a horizontal rod for hanging objects, wherein the horizontal rod is attached to the front side of vertical central body approximate to the central portion.
141 In one embodiment, the flat back side is configured to be flush with the pegboard during use. In one embodiment, a reinforcement rib positioned between a lower side of the horizontal rod and the front side of the vertical central body is provided for support. In another embodiment, a wing attached to each side of the vertical central body approximate to the central portion is provided. In one embodiment, the horizontal rod includes a raised end configured to help secure a hanged object on the horizontal rod. In one embodiment, the L-shaped upper anchor consists essentially of a horizontal member, a vertical member, and a notch, wherein the notch is configured to accommodate varying pegboard thicknesses. In one embodiment, the U-shaped lower anchor comprises a rigid member, a flexible member, a plurality of teeth, and a lever. In yet another embodiment, a tooth of the plurality of teeth is configured to cling to an edge of the second hole of the pegboard. In one embodiment, the
[51 Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent when the following detailed description is read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
[6] FIG. 1 is a side view of an improved hook for use with a pegboard according to an embodiment of the present invention;
[7] FIG. 2A is a side view of an upper anchor of the improved hook according to an embodiment of the present invention;
[8] FIG. 2B is an isometric view of FIG. 2A;
[9] FIG. 3A is a side view of a lower anchor of the improved hook according to an embodiment of the present invention; and, [10] FIG. 3B is an isometric view of FIG. 3A.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Various modifications, however, will remain readily apparent to those skilled in the art, since the general principles of the present invention have been defined herein to specifically provide an improved hook for use with a pegboard.
1121 FIG. 1 is a side view of an improved hook 10 for use with a pegboard 22 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring now to FIG. 1, the hook comprises an upper anchor 12, a vertical central body 14, and a lower anchor 18. The hook further comprises a horizontal rod 16 configured to hang tools and objects as well known in the art. In one embodiment, the horizontal rod includes a raised end 42 to help retain the tools and objects on the horizontal rod. In one embodiment, the horizontal rod is cylindrical, however it is understood that other shapes may be used. In one embodiment, the hook occupies three vertically aligned holes on the pegboard, utilizing the first and third hole. Specifically, the hook secures to the pegboard utilizing holes 20 and 20' and the upper and lower anchor respectively. The upper and lower anchor will be described in greater detail below.
113] In one embodiment, the vertical central body has a flat back side 34 configured to be flush against the pegboard during use. In one embodiment, the vertical central body has a rounded front side 36 that is configured to accept the horizontal rod approximate to a central portion 40 of the vertical central body. A reinforcement rib 26 is provided between a lower side 36 of the horizontal rod and the front side of the vertical central body for support. Similarly, a wing 24 is provided on each side of the vertical central body approximate to the central portion providing stability against the pegboard during use by increasing the lateral surface area touching the pegboard.
[15] FIGS. 3A-B are views of the lower anchor according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring now to FIGS. 3A-B, lower anchor 18 is illustrated. The lower anchor is constructed of a U-shape having a rigid member 31 and a flexible member 32.
The lower anchor is attached to a lower portion 43 of the flat back side of the vertical central body. ln one embodiment, the flexible member includes a plurality of teeth 28 configured to accommodate different thicknesses of pegboards. Specifically, the plurality of teeth is shaped to cling onto an edge of a pegboard hole. It is a particular advantage of the present invention, that the lower anchor is configured to prevent unintentional release of the hook during use. In one embodiment, the flexible member includes a lever 30 configured to disengage the plurality of teeth from the pegboard hole allowing the removal of the hook.
[16] During use, the upper anchor is inserted into first hole 20 of the pegboard. Next, the lower anchor is inserted into second hole 20' until a tooth of the plurality of teeth catches the edge of the second hole, securing the lower anchor to the pegboard. The upper member of the upper anchor presses against the backside of the pegboard during use providing additional securement. The lever is accessible on the front side of the pegboard as illustrated in FIG. 1 for removal as previously described.
[18] It should further be noted that throughout the entire disclosure, the labels such as left, right, front, back, top, bottom, forward, reverse, clockwise, counter clockwise, up, down, or other similar terms such as upper, lower, aft, fore, vertical, horizontal, oblique, proximal, distal, parallel, perpendicular, transverse, longitudinal, etc. have been used for convenience purposes only and are flot intended to imply any particular fixed direction or orientation. Instead, they are used to reflect relative locations and/or directions/orientations between various portions of an object.
[19] In addition, reference to "first," "second," "third," and etc. members throughout the disclosure (and in particular, claims) are flot used to show a serial or numerical limitation but instead are used to distinguish or identify the various members of the group.
Claims (7)
a vertical central body having a flat back side, a front side, an upper portion, central portion, and a lower portion;
a L-shaped upper anchor inserted into a first hole of the pegboard, wherein the L-shaped upper anchor is attached to the upper portion of the vertical central body;
a U-shaped lower anchor inserted into a second hole of the pegboard, wherein the U-shaped lower anchor is attached to the lower portion of the vertical central body;
and, a horizontal rod for hanging objects, wherein the horizontal rod is attached to the front side of vertical central body approximate to the central portion; the U-shaped lower anchor comprises a rigid member, a flexible member, a lever and a plurality of teeth aligned in a single row so that one of said teeth can cling to an edge of the second hole of the pegboard;
