Abstract

A wall fixture system has a center panel and a pair of supports for supporting the center panel in an upright configuration. The center panel includes a pegboard for receiving hooks, shelves, baskets, or other accessories, and a frame at least partially surrounding the pegboard. The frame has a plurality of hooks along one of its outer edges. The supports are positioned on opposite sides of the center panel, and each has a plurality of slots along one of its inner edges for receiving the hooks on the frame and thereby supporting the center panel between the supports without the use of screws, nails, or other semi-permanent fasteners.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A wall fixture system comprising:
 a center panel comprising
 a pegboard for receiving hooks, shelves, baskets, or other accessories, and 
 a frame at least partially surrounding the pegboard, the frame having a plurality of hooks or slots along one of its outer edges; and 
   a pair of supports positioned on opposite sides of the center panel, each support having a plurality of slots or hooks along one of its inner edges for coupling with the hooks or slots on the frame and thereby supporting the center panel between the supports without the use of screws, nails, or other semi-permanent fasteners.   
     
     
         2 . The wall fixture system as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the frame includes several frame components that may be joined together without the use of screws, nails or other semi-permanent fasteners. 
     
     
         3 . The wall fixture system as set forth in  claim 2 , wherein the frame comprises a frame bottom, a pair of frame uprights each having a connection leg received within the frame bottom, and a frame top having connection legs received within the frame uprights. 
     
     
         4 . The wall fixture system as set forth in  claim 3 , wherein the connection legs of the frame uprights are locked in the frame bottom with spring locks. 
     
     
         5 . The wall fixture system as set forth in  claim 3 , wherein the connection legs of the frame uprights are locked in the bottom frame with spring locks. 
     
     
         6 . The wall fixture system as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the supports are T-leg supports. 
     
     
         7 . The wall fixture system as set forth in  claim 3 , wherein the frame bottom, frame supports, and frame top each have a pair of spaced-apart grooves for receiving edges of the pegboard. 
     
     
         8 . A wall fixture system comprising:
 a center panel comprising
 a pegboard for receiving hooks, shelves, baskets, or other accessories, and 
 a frame at least partially surrounding the pegboard, the frame including a horizontally-extending frame bottom, a horizontally-extending frame top, and a pair of vertically-extending frame uprights, the frame bottom, frame top, and frame uprights each having connection members that cooperatively join the frame bottom, frame top, and frame uprights to one another without the use of screws, nails, or other semi-permanent fasteners, the frame uprights each having a plurality of hooks along one of its outer edges; and 
   a pair of supports positioned on opposite sides of the center panel, each support having a plurality of slots along one of its inner edges for receiving the hooks on the frame and thereby supporting the center panel between the supports without the use of screws, nails, or other semi-permanent fasteners.   
     
     
         9 . The wall fixture system as set forth in  claim 8 , wherein the connection members of the frame uprights are locked in the frame bottom with spring locks. 
     
     
         10 . The wall fixture system as set forth in  claim 8 , wherein the connection members of the frame uprights are locked in the bottom frame with spring locks. 
     
     
         11 . The wall fixture system as set forth in  claim 8 , wherein the supports are T-leg supports. 
     
     
         12 . The wall fixture system as set forth in  claim 8 , wherein the frame bottom, frame supports, and frame top each have a pair of spaced-apart grooves for receiving edges of the pegboard. 
     
     
         13 . A wall fixture system comprising:
 a pair of center panels, each center panel comprising
 a pegboard for receiving hooks, shelves, baskets, or other accessories, and 
 a frame at least partially surrounding the pegboard, the frame including a horizontally-extending frame bottom, a horizontally-extending frame top, and a pair of vertically-extending frame uprights, the frame bottom, frame top, and frame uprights each having connection members that cooperatively join the frame bottom, frame top, and frame uprights to one another without the use of screws, nails, or other semi-permanent fasteners, the frame uprights each having a plurality of hooks along one of its outer edges; 
   a corner leg support for joining the two center panels at a right angle relative to one another without the use of screws, nails, or other semi-permanent fasteners; and   a pair of end supports positioned on opposite sides of the two center panels, each end support having a plurality of slots along one of its inner edges for receiving the hooks on one of the frames and thereby supporting one of the center panels between the end support and the corner leg support without the use of screws, nails, or other semi-permanent fasteners.   
     
     
         14 . The wall fixture system as set forth in  claim 13 , wherein the connection members of the frame uprights are locked in the frame bottom with spring locks. 
     
     
         15 . The wall fixture system as set forth in  claim 13 , wherein the connection members of the frame uprights are locked in the bottom frame with spring locks. 
     
     
         16 . The wall fixture system as set forth in  claim 13 , wherein the supports are T-leg supports. 
     
     
         17 . The wall fixture system as set forth in  claim 13 , wherein the frame bottom, frame supports, and frame top each have a pair of spaced-apart grooves for receiving edges of the pegboard.
