Peg board hanger

Abstract

A peg board hanger including a central member or main body and attached adjustable securing devices, constructed in such a way that prevents unintentional removal of the hanger from the peg board when objects placed thereon are removed from the hanger. The central member is formed from wire and can accommodate various configurations. The attached adjustable securing devices are made of wire formed in such a way as to comprise wings projecting from either side of the vertical body of the central member and a rearwardly extending deformable member that engages an aperture of the peg board. The adjustable securing devices are attached to the main body of the hanger by welding, soldering or other means of permanent bonding. The wings and the rearwardly extending deformable member, or loop, are adjustable to accommodate varying peg boards conditions. After adjusting the loop and wings to accommodate the conditions found to exist on the particular peg board, the top "S" bend of the hanger is inserted angularly through a perforation. Then, as the hanger is pivoted bringing the bottom closer to the peg board surface, the loop is then inserted through the aligned perforation creating a firm frictional torsion fit. Once adjusted for the peg board, the hangers can be moved from place to place on the peg board using only one hand and without the need of further adjustment.
