Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an organizer wall panel assembly, and more particularly an organizer wall panel assembly formed from a number of stackable, modular panels which are configured for use and securement as a wall section in substitution for part or all of a conventional dry wall sheet.
- The construction of organizer wall panel assemblies by securing in place, a series of stacked, individual wall panels is well known. U.S. Pat. No. 7,306,107 to Secondino describes an earlier panel construction which individual wall panels are adapted for interconnection with horizontally adjacent panels in the erection of an organizer wall. Conventional panels used in organizer wall applications are typically formed as an elongated hollow extrusion and have variable lengths of between about six and twelve feet, a vertical height of about 8 inches, and lateral thickness of about % inches. The panels are formed with a longitudinal, “L-shaped” mounting groove which is sized to receive the bent end of a hangar member or bracket used to hang power or garden tools, garden equipment as well as other items, and which is formed with normally extending horizontal and vertical segments configured for complementary placement within the groove.
- The applicant has appreciated that organizer walls formed from conventional panels suffer the disadvantage that the wider thickness of the profile frequently necessitates the assembly of conventional panels as a whole-wall application, where the panels are arranged to extend vertically fully from the floor to the ceiling. In particular, the added thickness of the panel extrusion prevents the easy integration of the wall panel assembly with conventional dry wall sheets, as part of a finished wall section. As a result, conventionally such panels are installed either over the top, or in place of conventional dry wall sheets, at increased costs.
- In addition, the erection of organizer wall panel assemblies with panels arranged in a whole-wall arrangement results in the presence of mounting grooves in areas adjacent to the floor and ceiling with no practical functionality to the user. In addition to significantly increased production costs compared to the cost of securing conventional dry wall sheets, the requirement to install individual organizer wall panels individually, is far more labour intensive and time consuming.
- To at least partially overcome some of the difficulties associated with conventional organizer wall panel constructions, the present invention provides an organizer wall panel assembly which is adapted for integration into a conventional wall construction, in place of part or all of a conventional half inch thick sheet of dry wall or gypsum board.
- In one embodiment, the present invention provides for an organizer wall panel assembly which is formed at least in part from a series of horizontally stacked, longitudinally elongated panels. Each of the panels is most preferably from plastic or aluminum and are extruded or molded with a constant horizontal profile and variable longitudinal length of up to 20 feet, and preferably between 8 to about 16 feet. Most preferably, the panels have a generally modular construction, allowing the panels to be secured in place in a horizontal edge-to-edge arrangement in no particular order. The panels are formed having a generally rectangular body, an upper connecting portion which with the body forms an elongate mounting groove, and a lower covering flange portion.
- Although not essential, the body is preferably formed as a mostly hollow construction having a generally planar front and rear surface. The rear surface is adopted for juxtaposed placement and mounting to a wall or wall studs. The front surface is generally parallel to the rear surface and is spaced therefrom to provide the panel body with a lateral thickness substantially corresponding to a thickness of a conventional dry wall sheet. Most preferably, the lateral thickness of the body is selected at between about 0.4 and 0.7 inches, most preferably between about 0.5 and to about 0.6 inches.
- The lower covering flange portion projects downwardly past the lower extent of the panel body. Preferably, the covering flange portion is formed as a resiliently deformable web which is integral with the lower edge of the front panel surface. With the panel in a mounted arrangement, the covering flange portion most preferably extends downwardly below the body by a distance selected to overlie at least part of the connecting portion of a next lower adjacent panel or dry wall sheet. The covering flange portion further includes a rearwardly tapering lowermost edge portion. The tapering edge portion bends or curves rearwardly downwardly towards the rear of the panel. Most preferably, the lowermost edge of the covering flange portion is spaced rearwardly from the plane of the panel body front surface by a distance of between about 0.4 inches and 0.1 inches, and preferably about 0.3 inches and 0.15 inches, towards the panel rear.
- The upper connecting portion is preferably integrally formed with the panel body as a single molding or extrusion. Although not essential, most preferably the panel is provided whereby the upper connecting portion is adapted for engagement with the lower edge of a next vertically adjacent panel in a mated fit arrangement. In one non-limiting construction, the upper connecting portion extends vertically from about 1 inch to about 2 inches from the upper edge of panel body. The connecting portion is provided with a fastener receiving portion which is sized to receive a nail, screw or other suitable mechanical fastener thereto, in the securement of the panel in place against the wall. The fastener receiving portion is connected to the panel body towards or along its rearward side by a vertical web. Horizontally extending shoulder and arm members, respectively project upwardly and downwardly along forward portions the fastener receiving portion. The fastener receiving portion, arm member and panel body comprise to define an L-shaped mounting groove sized to receive therein, the bent or hooked ends of one or more mounting brackets.
- The applicant has appreciated that a number of panels may be assembled in a horizontally stacked, side-by-side arrangement together with one or more conventional dry wall sheets. Such an arrangement may provide a finished wall section which incorporates into part of the wall only, an organizer panel wall assembly which provides for hangar member retaining mounting grooves only in selected or preselected areas, having regard to customer preferences.
- In one non-limiting possible mode of use, a number of stackable panels of the present invention may be adapted for securement directly to wall studs in place of a conventional dry wall sheet to provide an organizer wall panel assembly which extends vertically as only part of a conventional wall section. Where the lower extent of the wall section is finished with a conventional dry wall sheet, the covering flange portion of a lowermost positioned wall panel is provided overlying a horizontal upper edge of the conventional dry wall sheet. In such an arrangement, the rearwardly tapering portion of the covering flange portion is urged into resilient contact against the adjacent dry wall panel, to provide a visually finished edge.
- Although not essential, the organizer wall panel assembly is preferably adapted for use with hangar members/brackets which incorporate a hooked mounting end sized for mated placement within the mounting groove in an edge-fit manner.
