Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/044,693, filed on Jul. 25, 2018, which issued as U.S. Pat. No. 10,816,134 on Oct. 27, 2020, which in turn claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 62/584,973, filed on Nov. 13, 2017. The entire disclosures of the above application are incorporated herein by reference.
- The present disclosure relates to a storage hanger and, more particularly, to a wall mounted storage hanger for vehicle doors.
- Conventional storage fixtures, and particularly garage storage devices, have long been used to store items on the walls or ceiling of a garage. Many garages have been equipped with extensive shelving to store items off the garage floor. However, bulky items such as vehicle doors, bicycles, ladders and the like have presented additional problems.
- Storing these bulky items on a wall can undesirably consume a major portion of available wall surface area. These bulky items have often been left on the garage floor for this reason. In certain cases, however, specialized fixtures are known for holding bulky items on the garage ceiling or wall. These specialized fixtures often position bulky items in hard to reach places, making it awkward to position or remove the stored items on the storage devices.
- There is also a need for storing JEEP® doors, which are removable from the chassis of the JEEP® vehicle. Typical JEEP® doors weigh approximately 60 pounds, and it is undesirable to store them on the floor where they might be inadvertently damaged.
- In one example, a wall mounted storage hanger for bulky items, such as vehicle doors, is described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,811,038 to Sanderson. The Sanderson patent teaches a surface-mounted bracket for receiving and storing removable vehicle doors, such as JEEP® doors. In another example, U.S. Pat. Appl. Pub. No. 2016/0362064 to Singleton teaches to portable carrying and storage systems for removable vehicle doors and hardtops, such as a JEEP® Wrangler hardtop and doors.
- In a further example, the TERAFLEX® full hard door hanger, commercially available from TeraFlex, Inc. in West Jordan, Utah, is configured to support a vehicle door upon assembly. The TERAFLEX® hanger is long, unwieldy, and connects to a wall across multiple wall studs. The TERAFLEX® has been found to undesirably consume available wall surface area, thereby limiting the availability of the wall surface for storage of other items.
- There is a continuing need for a wall mounted storage hanger that is compact, easy to install, and can accommodate bulky items. Desirably, the wall mounted storage hanger is usable with removable vehicle doors, such as JEEP® doors.
- In concordance with the instant disclosure, a wall mounted storage hanger that is compact, easy to install, and can accommodate bulky items, and which is usable with removable vehicle doors, such as JEEP® doors, has been surprisingly discovered.
- In one embodiment, a storage hanger includes a main body with a rear portion, a base portion, and a front portion. The rear portion has a proximal end and a distal end, At least one aperture is formed through the rear portion. The front portion has a proximal end and a free distal end. The base portion is coupled to the proximal end of the rear portion and the proximal end of the front portion. Each of the rear portion, the base portion, and the front portion share a common peripheral edge. The free distal end of the front portion further has at least one rounded section of the peripheral edge. The rear portion is disposed on a first plane, the base portion is disposed on a second plane, and the front portion is disposed on a third plane. The first plane is oriented parallel with the third plane. The rear portion has a first length defined by a first distance between the proximal end and the distal end of the rear portion. The base portion has a second length defined by a second distance between the proximal end of the rear portion and the proximal end of the front portion. The front portion has a third length defined by a third distance between the proximal end and the distal end of the front portion. The first length is greater than the second length.
- In another embodiment, the main body may have a thickness between 9-gauge and 14-gauge and is covered with an anticorrosive coating. The free distal end further has beveled corners. The bevel corners are disposed on fourth planes that are oriented transverse to the third plane. The free distal end of the front portion further has at least one of a first rounded section and a second rounded section that is disposed adjacent one of the beveled corners. Each of the first rounded section and the second rounded section may have a radius between 0.080 inches and 0.240 inches. In this embodiment, a center of the second aperture is also disposed on a fifth plane, and the free distal end of the front portion is disposed on a sixth plane.

The description and drawings serve to enable one skilled in the art to make and use the invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any manner.
-
FIGS. 1-11 illustrate a storage hanger 1. The storage hanger 1 is configured to support bulky items, such as a vehicle door 102, and most particularly a JEEP® vehicle door 102 (shown inFIG. 11 ) having a weight of at least 60 pounds. The storage hanger 1 has amain body 2 with arear portion 4, abase portion 6, and afront portion 8. - As shown in
FIGS. 1, 3, and 6-8 , therear portion 4 has at least oneaperture aperture first aperture 10 and asecond aperture 12, for example. Each of theapertures - In particular, the
first aperture 10 and thesecond aperture 12 may be spaced apart in series. This allows themain body 2 to be mounted on asingle stud 101 of awall 100 or another mountable surface, as shown inFIG. 11 . It should be appreciated that the ability to mount themain body 2 on asingle stud 101 is especially advantageous, and may provide for more usable space on thewall 100. - Although the storage hanger 1 is shown in
FIGS. 1, 3, and 6-8 as having only two of theapertures apertures main body 2 may also have other apertures or holes in various shapes and arrangements, for example, to facilitate branding. The shapes and arrangements of these additional holes may also provide a desirable or unique ornamentation, for example, the shape associated with the grille of a JEEP® vehicle. However, it should also be understood that only theapertures main body 2, which are disposed vertically in series, are configured to receive fasteners and used to attach the storage hanger 1 to the surface of thewall 100, within the scope of the disclosure. - As shown in
FIG. 11 , the material of themain body 2 is thin enough to be placed in the window opening of a JEEP® vehicle door 102, while also being strong enough to support the weight of the door 102 on thewall 100 to which the storage hanger 1 is attached. Themain body 2 may be made of metal, plastic, wood, or any other suitable material chosen by a skilled artisan. In a particular example, themain body 2 may be manufactured from 11-gauge hot rolled steel that has a thickness T1 between about 0.120 and about 0.1250 inches, as shown inFIG. 2 . Other suitable thicknesses for T1 are also contemplated, such as 9-gauge, 10-guage, 12-guage, and 14-gauge as non-limiting examples, and may also be employed, as long as the material selection on the thinner gauges is selected so as to have sufficient strength to support the weight of the door 102 without undesirable bending or dropping of the door 102 to the floor surface. The thickness T1 must also be thin enough to freely disposed in the conventional upper slot 106 of the window opening of the door 102, which receives thefront portion 8main body 2 in operation, as described further hereinbelow. - It should be understood that the
main body 2 may also be manufactured according to any suitable manufacturing process. For example, therear portion 4, thebase portion 6, and thefront portion 8 may be integrally formed as a single, unitary, one-piece assembly. As a particular example, themain body 2 and the at least oneaperture main body 2 is then placed in a brake press and bent to form therear portion 4,base portion 6, andfront portion 8. The storage hanger 1 according to one embodiment of the disclosure is thereby manufactured. - With reference to
FIGS. 6-8 , therear portion 4 of themain body 2 may have arear surface 13 that is substantially planar. The planar configuration of therear surface 13 advantageously permits an abutting of the entirety of therear surface 13 with a mounting surface of thewall 100 in operation, as shown inFIG. 11 . This has been found to facilitate a stability of the hanger 1 during use. - With renewed reference to
FIGS. 1 and 7-8 , thebase portion 6 may extend outwardly from therear portion 4. Thebase portion 6 connects therear portion 4 with thefront portion 8. Therear portion 4 is thereby spaced apart from thefront portion 8. Thefront portion 8 protrudes from thebase portion 6. In operation, and as described further hereinbelow, thefront portion 8 is configured to securely hold the bulky items on themain body 2. - As depicted in
FIG. 1 , therear portion 4 of themain body 2 is disposed on a first plane B. Thebase portion 6 of themain body 2 is oriented on a second plane C. Thefront portion 8 of themain body 2 is positioned on a third plane D. The center of thefirst aperture 10 and thesecond aperture 12 are each aligned along an axis E, and are co-planar with the first plane B. - In a particular embodiment, the first plane B is oriented transverse to the second plane C, and in a most particular embodiment the first plane B is oriented orthogonal to the second plane C. In another embodiment, the first plane B is oriented transverse to the second plane C and parallel to the third plane D. In a most particular embodiment, the first plane B is oriented orthogonal to the second plane C and parallel to the third plane D. In a further embodiment, the axis E bisects the
rear portion 4 of themain body 2. One of ordinary skill in the art may also select other suitable orientations for therear portion 4, thebase portion 6, thefront portion 8, and the first andsecond apertures - With renewed reference to
FIGS. 1, 3, and 6-8 , therear portion 4 of themain body 2 has adistal end 14 and aproximal end 16. Theproximal end 16 abuts thebase portion 6. In particular, theproximal end 16 of therear portion 4 may be connected to or contiguous with thebase portion 6. - As shown in
FIG. 4 , thedistal end 14 of therear portion 4 may have roundedcorners 18. Thecorners 18 are rounded to militate against a damaging of the mounting surface of thewall 100 by therear portion 4 upon installation and use, as depicted inFIG. 11 . With renewed reference toFIG. 4 , each of thecorners 18 may have a first radius of curvature or radius R1. As non-limiting examples, the first radius R1 may be between 0.050 and 0.200 inches, more particularly between 0.093 and 0.168 inches, and most particularly 0.135 inches. One of ordinary skill in the art may also select other suitable dimensions for the first radius R1 within the scope of the disclosure. - With renewed reference to
FIGS. 1, 3, and 7-8 , thefront portion 8 also has adistal end 20 and aproximal end 22. Theproximal end 22 of thefront portion 8 abuts thebase portion 6. In particular, theproximal end 22 of thefront portion 8 may be connected to or contiguous with thebase portion 6. - As illustrated in
FIGS. 3 and 5 , thedistal end 20 of thefront portion 8 may have beveledcorners 24. Each of thebeveled corners 24 may have at least one of a firstrounded section 26 and a secondrounded section 28. In certain examples, thefront portion 8 may have only a single firstrounded section 26, connecting a top section of thefront portion 8 with thebeveled corner 24, and with a remaining portion of thebeveled corner 24 extending directly upward at an angle less than 90 degrees relative to the plane C from thebase portion 6. In a most particular example, as shown inFIG. 5 , thefront portion 8 has both the firstrounded section 26 and the secondrounded section 28, with the firstrounded section 26 connecting the top section of thefront portion 8 to thebeveled corner 24, and the secondrounded section 28 connected thebeveled corner 24 to a vertical section that extends upwardly from the base portion at an angle of about 90 degrees relative to the plane C from thebase portion 6. For example, the firstrounded section 26 may have a second radius R2 and the secondrounded section 28 may have a third radius R3. As non-limiting examples, the second radius R2 and the third radius R3 is each between 0.080 and 0.240 inches, more particularly between 0.120 and 0.200, and most particularly 0.160 inches. The second radius R2 and the third radius R3 may be the same or different, as desired. - It should also be appreciated that the
beveled corners 24 may have only the firstrounded section 26 with the second radius R2. In this example, a bottom of each of thebeveled corners 24 may be directly attached to, or contiguous with, thebase portion 6 of the hanger 1 without any intervening secondrounded section 28. - With renewed reference to
FIG. 11 , advantageously, therounded corners rounded corners rounded corners main body 2, or by any other suitable means selected by a skilled artisan. - As illustrated in
FIG. 1 , each of thebeveled corners 24 may be disposed on a fourth plane E. The fourth plane E is oriented traverse to the third plane D. The fourth plane E may be oriented at an angle α, which is hereby defined as the angle between planes D and E. As non-limiting examples, the angle α may be between 10° and 80°, more particularly between 35° and 55°, and most particularly 45°. One of ordinary skill in the art may select other suitable angles α, as desired. - As shown in
FIGS. 1-2 , the entirety of themain body 20 has aperipheral edge 30. Theperipheral edge 30 extends around an entirety of themain body 2 and defines free edges of each of therear portion 4, thebase portion 6, and thefront portion 8. At least a portion of theperipheral edge 30 may be contoured to minimize an opportunity for damage to both the mounting surface of awall 100 and the bulky item placed on the storage hanger 1, as shown inFIG. 11 . - With continued reference to
FIGS. 1-2 the contouredperipheral edge 30 may involve one of an angled and a curvilinear surface. For example, rounded sections of theperipheral edge 30 may define therounded corners 18 of therear portion 4 as described hereinabove. It should be appreciated that the entirety of theperipheral edge 30 may have the same contour, or different portions of theperipheral edge 30 may be provided with different contours, within the scope of the disclosure. - For example, as shown in
FIG. 2 , thedistal end 20 of thefront portion 8 may have a contoured edge 32. In particular, the contoured edge 32 of thedistal end 20 may be rounded with a fourth radius R4. As non-limiting examples, the fourth radius R4 is between 0.020 and 0.100 inches, more particularly between 0.040 and 0.080 inches, and most particularly 0.060 inches. It should be appreciated that the rounding of the contoured edge 32 may further militate against damage to bulky items placed on the hanger 1, and particularly the seal 104 of a door 102 window. In alternative embodiments, the contoured edge may be provided as an angled surface, which likewise may be adapted to minimize and opportunity for damage to the bulky item. A skilled artisan may also select other suitable dimensions within the scope of the present disclosure. - In certain embodiments, shown in
FIG. 6 , therear portion 4, thebase portion 6, and thefront portion 8 may all have a maximum width W that is substantially the same or different. Where the maximum width W is the same for therear portion 4, thebase portion 6, and thefront portion 8, it should be appreciated that a force on the storage hanger 1 in operation may be distributed more evenly. In turn, this optimizes a durability of the storage hanger 1 and minimizing an opportunity for damage to the mounting surface of thewall 100. - Also, as shown in
FIGS. 7 and 8 , therear portion 4 may have a first length L1, thebase portion 6 may have a second length L2, and the front portion may have a third length L3. Particularly, the first length L1 may span a first distance between thedistal end 14 and theproximal end 16 of therear portion 4. The second length L2 may be defined by a second distance between theproximal end 16 of thebase portion 4 and theproximal end 22 of thefront portion 8. The third length L3 may be defined by a third distance between theproximal end 22 and thedistal end 20 of thefront portion 6. The first length L1 of therear portion 4 may be greater than the second length L2 of thebase portion 6. The third length L3 of thefront portion 8 may be shorter than the second length L2 of thebase portion 6. The third length L3 of thefront portion 8 may also be shorter than the first length L1 of therear portion 4. - It should be understood that the first length L1, being greater than each of the lengths L2 and L3, may permit for a stabilization and superior weight distribution on a single stud of the
wall 100 to which the storage hanger is mounted in operation, as shown inFIG. 11 . - With renewed reference to
FIGS. 6 and 7 , in a most particular embodiment, the maximum width W of themain body 2 may be about 6 inches, the first length L1 of therear portion 4 may be about 6 inches, the second length L2 of the base portion may be about 3.5 inches, and the third length L3 of thefront portion 8 may be about 1.8, or 1.5 inches in the third length L3. It has been found that these particular dimensions advantageously permit for the hanging of the bulky item, and particularly the JEEP® door 102, on a single wall stud without damage to either thewall mounting surface 100 or the door 102 or its associated window seal 104, as shown inFIG. 11 . However, themain body 2, therear portion 4, thebase portion 6, and thefront portion 8 may also be any other suitable dimension configured for use with a single wall stud as chosen by one skilled in the art. - With renewed reference to
FIG. 6 , theapertures rear portion 4 may also be selectively spaced apart at a fourth length L4. In operation, this militates against an undesirable rotation of the storage hanger 1 relative to the mounting surface of thewall 100. As a particular example, the fourth length L4 may be at least about 2.25 inches. It has further been found that, having the fourth length L4 between theapertures - With renewed reference to
FIGS. 7 and 8 , thesecond aperture 12 may be vertically spaced apart from thedistal end 20 of thefront portion 8 to facilitate the fastening of therear portion 4 to the mounting surface. For example, a center of thesecond aperture 12 may be disposed on a fifth plane G and thedistal end 20 of thefront portion 8 may be disposed on a sixth plane H. A distance between the fifth plane G and the sixth plane H may be defined as a fifth length L5, as shown inFIG. 7 . In a particular embodiment, the fifth length L5 may be between about 0.1 and about 0.5 inches, more particularly between about 0.2 and about 0.4 inches, and most particularly about 0.3 inches. It should be appreciated that the fifth plane G is not disposed below the sixth plane H, and that the aforementioned spacing of the fifth length L5 advantageously permits for the use of implements such as screwdrivers and power tools to insert the fasteners within theapertures front portion 8. One of ordinary skill in the art may also select other suitable distances for the fifth length L5, as desired. - The
main body 2 may be provided withanticorrosive coating 34. For example, theanticorrosive coating 34 may be a powder coating such as an epoxy, polyester, fluoropolymers, or urethane, as particular non-limiting examples. In a specific embodiment, theanticorrosive coating 34 may be applied electrostatically and then cured under heat. In particular, and as shown inFIG. 2 , theanticorrosive coating 34 may have a thickness T2 of between about 0.0005 and about 0.0120 inches, more particularly between about 0.0010 and about 0.0070 inches, and most particularly about 0.0020 inches. In a most particular example, a total thickness T3 of themain body 2, which is the sum of the thickness T1 and twice the thickness T2, is approximately 0.1265 inches. Other suitable types and thicknesses of theanticorrosive coating 34 for themain body 2 may also be used within the scope of the disclosure. - In operation, as shown in
FIG. 11 , a user secures the storage hanger 1 to the single stud in thewall 100 by inserting fasteners, such as screws, bolts, or nails, through theapertures apertures apertures first aperture 10 and thesecond aperture 12 is about 0.250 inches. Other suitable sizes and shapes for theapertures - Once the storage hanger 1 is attached to the
wall 100, a user then places the bulky item such as the JEEP® vehicle door 102 onto themain body 2 with the window pane in an opened position. In a particular embodiment, the JEEP® vehicle door 102 is placed so thefront portion 8 of the hanger 1 is disposed in and received by an upper slot 106 of the door 102, which is disposed adjacent the peripheral elastomeric seal 104 and that is normally configured to receive an upper edge of the window pane where in a closed position. It should be appreciated that the combination of the contoured edge 32 and the roundedbeveled corners 24 of thefront portion 8 minimizes an opportunity for damage to the window seals 104 when the door 102 is placed on thefront portion 6. - Advantageously, the storage hanger 1 of the present disclosure is compact, has been found easy to install, and can accommodate bulky items such as removable JEEP® doors 102. Being compact, and configured to attached to just the
single wall stud 101 instead of acrossmultiple wall studs 101, the storage hanger 1 of the present disclosure does not consume an undesirable amount of wall surface area, in contrast to known hangers in the art. - From the foregoing description, one ordinarily skilled in the art can easily ascertain the essential characteristics of this invention and, without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, make various changes and modifications to the invention to adapt it to various usages and conditions.
