The angled portion may be inserted into a pegboard. The angled portion may be connected at about a one hundred and twenty degree angle with respect to the straight portion. The angled portion may be connected to the straight portion through an intermediate portion and the intermediate portion may be connected to the straight portion at about a ninety degree angle.
- The straight portion may be connected to an elongated member which is substantially parallel to the straight portion. The straight portion may also be connected to an extension having a first portion and a second portion. The first portion of the extension may be at an angle with respect to the second portion of the extension.
- The straight portion may be connected through a first plate to the member and to the extension. A first end of the member may be connected to the first plate and a second end of the member may be connected to a second plate.
- The present invention in one embodiment provides a method comprising inserting a pegboard hook into a pegboard, wherein the pegboard hook has one or more characteristics as previously described.

Thestraight portion 18 a and theangled portion 18 b may be joined by aportion 18 d. Theportion 18 d may be at a right angle with respect to thestraight portion 18 a while theangled portion 18 b may be at an angle of A which may be 120 degrees with respect to thestraight portion 18 a. Theprong 20 may include astraight portion 20 a, andangled portion 20 b, and an insertion end 20 c. Thestraight portion 20 a and theangled portion 20 b may be joined by aportion 20 d. Theportion 20 d may be at a right angle with respect to thestraight portion 20 a to stop the apparatus 10 (also called a hook) from easily pulling out, while theangle portion 20 b may be at an angle of A which may be 120 degrees with respect to thestraight portion 20 a. As shown inFIG. 3 , thestraight portion 20 a may have a length of L1, which may be slightly larger than the depth, D2, of a pegboard, such aspegboard 100 inFIG. 4A . - The
extension 22 has astraight portion 22 a and an angledupwards portion 22 b. Theextension 22 has anend 22 c connected to theportion 16 and anend 22 d. Items can be slid over theextension 22. - The distance, D1, between the center of
prong 18 and the center ofprong 20, shown inFIG. 2 , may be one inch. Each of theprongs portion 16 a distance W1, which may be 0.6587 inches. As shown inFIG. 3 ,angled portion 20 b of theprong 20 may be at an angle A, which may be 120 degrees, with respect tostraight portion 20 a. Similarlyangled portion portion 18 b of theprong 18 may be at an angle of A, which may be 120 degrees, with respect tostraight portion 18 a. - As shown by
FIG. 3 , theextension 22 is supported bymembers Member 24 is connected to the top ofextension 22 andmember 26 is connected to the bottom ofextension 22. -
FIG. 4A shows a right side view of theapparatus 10 initially inserted into apeg board 100. Theend 20 c of theprong 20 is inserted into ahole 102 of thepegboard 100. Theend 20 c may be inserted so that theangled portion 20 b is substantially parallel with aninner surface 102 a which surrounds thehole 102. Theprong 18 would be inserted into another hole in thepegboard 100, not shown, in a similar manner to prong 20. - The prong 20 (and the prong 18) would be inserted further and then the
apparatus 10 would be tilted into the rest position shown inFIG. 4B . In this position, the prongstraight portion 20 a is now substantially parallel with theinner surface 102 a of which surrounds thehole 102. In addition, theangled portion 20 b is now at an angle of 120 degrees with respect to theinner surface 102 a. Theportion 20 d is parallel to thepegboard portion 100 b and theportion 20 d prevents theapparatus 10 from falling out of thepegboard 100, unless theapparatus 10 is tilted in the manner shown inFIG. 4A .
