Description

Sept. 13, 1966 E. WITTROCK SUPPORT BRACKET FOR PERFORATED BOARDS Filed March so, 1965 ATTO/P/VEYS United States Patent 3,272,468 SUPPORT BRACKET FOR PERFORATED BOARDS Edward Wittrock, Hartley, Iowa Filed Mar. 30, 1965, Ser. No. 443,963 6 Claims. (Cl. 248225) This invention relates to a support bracket and more particularly to a support bracket for perforated boards and the like.
Perforated boards or peg boards as they are common 1y called are used in stores, workshops and the like for purposes of displaying merchandise and supporting tools, etc. Small supporting brackets are inserted into the perforations of the board to support whatever is to be displayed. One of the objections of these supporting brackets is that they frequently pull out of the perforations as the article is being removed from the board.
Therefore, it is a principal object of this invention to provide a support bracket for perforated boards and the like.
A further object of this invention is to provide a support bracket for perforated boards which will not be inadvertently pulled from the board.
A further object of this invention is to provide a support bracket for perforated boards which is comprised of detachably secured together bracket members A further object of this invention is to provide a support bracket for perforated boards which is quickly and easily attached to or detached from the perforated board.
A further object of this invention is to provide a support bracket for perforated boards which is economical of manufacture, durable in use and refined in appearance.
These and other objects will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
This invention consists in the construction, arrangements, and combination of the various parts of the device, whereby the objects contemplated are attained as hereinafter more fully set forth, specifically pointed out in the claims, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective View of the support bracket;
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the support bracket as it is being installed on a perforated board shown in section;
FIG. 3 is a side elevational view of the support bracket mounted on a perforated board shown in section; and
FIG. 4 is a perspective view illustrating the modification of the sleeve means portion of the support bracket.
The numeral generally designates a perforated board having a plurality of perforations 11 formed therein. The numeral 13 generally designates the support bracket and includes bracket members 15 and 17 and sleeve means 19.
Bracket member 15 is comprised of an elongated shank 21 and a head 23 offset rearwardly from the upper end therefrom. Head 23 includes a substantially vertical portion 25 and a substantially horizontal portion 27. As seen in the drawings, a supporting arm 29 extends outwardly from bracket member 15. Supporting arm 29 is shown to be elongated in the drawings but could be designed in any shape or configuration to fit the particular design of the item to be displayed.
Bracket member 17 is comprised of an elongated shank 31 and a head 33 offset rearwardly from the upper end thereof. Head 33 includes a substantially vertical portion 35 and a substantially horizontal portion 37.
With respect to FIG. 4, the numeral 39 generally designates a modified sleeve means. Sleeve means 39 is substantially identical to sleeve means 19 except that it has been slit at 41 along its length.
3,272,468 Patented Sept. 13, 1966 The normal method of operation is as follows: Head 23 of bracket member 15 is inserted through a perforation 11 as illustrated in FIG. 2. Head 33 of bracket member 17 is inserted through a second] perforation 11 slidably mounted on shank 21 during periods of non use and during the time the bracket is being mounted on the perforated board. Assuming that sleeve means 19 is embracing shank 21 as seen in FIG. 2, sleeve means 19 would be slidably moved so that it slidably embraced shanks 21 and 31 as seen in FIG. 3. As seen in the drawings, sleeve means 19 is longer than shank 31 while shank 21 is longer than shank 31. When the lower end of sleeve means 19 engages horizontal portion 37 of head 33, the upper end of sleeve means 19 extends above the lower end of shank 21 and the upper end of shank 31 to positively maintain shanks 21 and 31 in an end-to-end relationship.
The modification seen in FIG. 4 permits the sleeve means to be conveniently snapped onto shanks 21 and 31. Sleeve means 39 is simply placed adjacent shanks 21 and 31 so that slit 41 engages the same and inward pressure is applied thereto. Slit 41 permits sleeve means 39 to open up to receive shanks 21 and 31.
It should be noted that either of bracket members 15 or 17 can have the supporting arm 29 extending therefrom. Bracket members 15 and 17 can be of any crosssectional shape and the shape of sleeve means 19 would be modified accordingly. Bracket members 15 and 17 and sleeve means 19 and 39 may be constructed of any suited material such as metal or plastic.
It can be seen that once the support bracket is installed or mounted on the perforated board as described above, the support bracket cannot be inadvertently pulled from the board. Any outward pressure on the support bracket causes the vertical portions 23 and 33 of heads 23 and 33 respectively to engage the rearward surface of perforated board 10. It can be seen in FIG. 3 that the precise engagement of bracket members 15 and 17 with the perforated board positively prevents the inadvertent removal of the support bracket from the perforated board. The only way the support bracket may be removed from the perforated board is to slidably move sleeve means 19 so that shanks 21 and 31 are no longer detachably secured together. Thus it can be seen that the device accomplishes at least all of its stated objectives.
Some changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of my support bracket for perforated boards without departing from the real spirit and. purpose of my invention, and it is my intention to cover by my claims, any modified forms of structure or use of mechanical equivalents which may be reasonably included within their scope.
I claim:
