Abstract
A hanger system includes an adjustable panel hanger. The adjustable panel hanger includes a connector member, a base member configured to removably attach to the connector member and to clamp onto a support member, wherein the base member includes a base flange, and a hanger member adjustably affixable on the base flange. Optionally, the hanger system may further include a modular panel connectable to the base member via the hanger member.
Claims22
A hanger system, comprising:
- a connector member;
- a base member configured to removably attach to the connector member and to clamp onto a support member, wherein the base member includes at least one base flange;
- at least one hanger member adjustably attachable to the at least one base flange, wherein the at least one hanger member is configured to support a panel;
- and
- at least one panel connector member having a top hook member and a bottom flange member configured to fit over the at least one panel hanger member.
A hanger system, comprising:
- a connector member, wherein the connector member further comprises a connector channel configured to receive a support flange of a support member and a connector flange;
- a base member configured to removably attach to the connector flange of the connector member, wherein the base member and connector member clamp onto the support member, and wherein the base member includes at least one base flange;
- at least one hanger member removably attachable to the at least one base flange via at least one hanger connecting member, and wherein the at least one hanger member is movable relative to the at least one base flange;
- a modular panel comprising at least one panel connector member attached to a back face of the modular panel, wherein the at least one panel connector member is removably connectable with the at least one hanger member;
- at least one connector adjustment member configured to adjustably extend out of the base member to allow adjustment of a distance between the base member and the connector member;
- at least one base member adjustment member configured to adjustably extend out of the at least one hanger member and engage an outer surface of the support member to allow an angle of the base member relative to the outer surface of the support member to be selectively adjusted;
- and
- wherein a position and angle of the modular panel relative to the support member is adjustable by selectively adjusting the at least one connector adjustment member, the at least one base member adjustment member, or the at least one hanger connecting member.
A hanger system, comprising:
- a connector member;
- a base member configured to removably attach to the connector member and to clamp onto a support member, wherein the base member includes at least one base flange;
- at least one hanger member adjustably attachable to the at least one base flange, wherein the at least one hanger member is configured to support a panel;
- wherein the connector member further comprises:
- a connector channel extending into the connector member and configured to receive a support flange of the support member;
- and
- a connector flange configured to engage an interior surface of the support flange, wherein the connector flange extends in a direction perpendicular to the connector channel;
- and
- wherein the connector channel further comprises:
- a plurality of inner walls configured to engage each face of the support flange of the support member;
- and
- an opening configured to allow the connector channel to receive the support flange.
A hanger system, comprising:
- a connector member;
- a base member configured to removably attach to the connector member and to clamp onto a support member, wherein the base member includes at least one base flange;
- at least one hanger member adjustably attachable to the at least one base flange, wherein the at least one hanger member is configured to support a panel;
- and
- wherein the at least one hanger member is adjustably attachable to the at least one base flange via at least one hanger connecting member, and wherein the at least one hanger member is movable relative to the at least one base flange by adjusting a position of the at least one hanger connecting member.
A hanger system, comprising:
- a connector member;
- a base member configured to removably attach to the connector member and to clamp onto a support member, wherein the base member includes at least one base flange;
- at least one hanger member adjustably attachable to the at least one base flange, wherein the at least one hanger member is configured to support a panel;
- a modular panel removably attachable to the at least one hanger member, wherein the modular panel further comprises at least one panel connector member attached to a back face of the modular panel, and wherein the at least one hanger member is configured to receive the at least one panel connector member so as to allow the modular panel to be removably attached to the at least one hanger member and in turn to be attached to and removed from the support member via the at least one hanger member and the base member;
- a connector adjustment member;
- a base member adjustment member;
- and
- wherein at least one of a position or an angle of the modular panel relative to the support member is adjustable by selectively adjusting at least one of the connector adjustment member, the base member adjustment members, or the at least one hanger connecting member.
