Abstract

A wall panel system including a first wall panel, the first panel including at least a first panel hook portion. The system also including a second wall panel having a different configuration than the first wall panel. The second panel includes at least a second panel hook portion and a third panel hook portion opposing the second panel hook portion. The first wall panel is configured to engage with the second wall panel to create a wall panel assembly.

Claims (51)

1. A wall panel system, comprising:

a first wall panel, the first wall panel including a first connector receiving portion including a first receiving groove, a first connector portion including a first receiving projection, a first lower panel hook and a first upper panel hook;

a second wall panel having a different configuration than the first wall panel, the second wall panel including a second connector receiving portion including a second receiving groove, a second connector portion including a second receiving projection and a second lower panel hook;

wherein the first connector receiving portion is at a first end of the first wall panel and the first connector portion is at a second end of the first wall panel;

wherein the first lower panel hook extends in a direction towards the first end of the first wall panel;

wherein the first upper panel hook extends in a direction towards the second end of the first wall panel;

wherein the second connector receiving portion is at a first end of the second wall panel and the second connector portion is at a second end of the second wall panel;

wherein the second lower panel hook extends in a direction towards the first end of the second wall panel;

wherein the first receiving groove is configured to selectively receive the second receiving projection to connect the first wall panel and the second wall panel;

wherein the first connector receiving portion and the second connector receiving portion both have the same configuration;

wherein the first connector portion and the second connector portion both have the same configuration;

wherein the first wall panel includes at least one conductor which extends along a length of the first wall panel;

wherein the wall panel system further comprises a power supply device engaged with the first wall panel and providing electricity to the conductor;

wherein the wall panel system further comprises a power receiving device which receives electricity from the power supply device through the at least one conductor; and

wherein the power supply device includes a power tool battery pack.

2. The wall panel system of claim 1 , further comprising a third wall panel having a different configuration than the first wall panel and the second wall panel, the third wall panel having a third connector receiving portion including a third receiving groove, a third connector portion including a third receiving projection and a third lower panel hook;

wherein the third connector receiving portion is at a first end of the third wall panel and the third connector portion is at a second end of the third wall panel.

3. The wall panel system of claim 2 , wherein the first receiving groove is configured to selectively receive the third receiving projection to connect the first wall panel and the third wall panel.

4. The wall panel system of claim 2 , wherein the third wall panel includes a slot and a power strip engaged in the slot.

5. The wall panel system of claim 4 , wherein the power strip is located between the third connector receiving portion and the third connector portion.

6. The wall panel system of claim 2 , wherein the first connector receiving portion, the second connector receiving portion and the third connector receiving portion each have the same configuration.

7. The wall panel system of claim 2 , wherein the first connector portion, the second connector portion and the third connector portion each have the same configuration.

8. The wall panel system of claim 1 , wherein the power receiving device is a fan.

9. The wall panel system of claim 1 , further comprising a securing member selectively engaged with the first wall panel;

wherein the securing member includes a panel abutting member and a latch member, the latch member movable relative to the first wall panel to unlock the securing member from the first wall panel.

10. The wall panel system of claim 1 , further comprising a clip, the clip including a base portion, a first leg at a first end of the base portion and a second leg at a second end of the base portion;

wherein each leg comprises a base portion and a finger portion, the finger portion being angled with respect to the base portion.

11. The wall panel system of claim 10 , wherein the first leg and the second leg are flexible.

12. The wall panel system of claim 1 , wherein the power supply device includes a microprocessor.

13. The wall panel system of claim 12 , wherein the power supply device includes a second battery which powers the microprocessor.

14. A wall panel system, comprising:

a first wall panel, the first wall panel including a first connector receiving portion including a first receiving groove, a first connector portion including a first receiving projection, a first lower panel hook and a first upper panel hook;

a second wall panel having a different configuration than the first wall panel, the second wall panel including a second connector receiving portion including a second receiving groove, a second connector portion including a second receiving projection and a second lower panel hook;

a third wall panel having a different configuration than the first wall panel and the second wall panel, the third wall panel having a third connector receiving portion including a third receiving groove, a third connector portion including a third receiving projection and a third lower panel hook;

wherein the first connector receiving portion is at a first end of the first wall panel and the first connector portion is at a second end of the first wall panel;

wherein the first lower panel hook extends in a direction towards the first end of the first wall panel;

wherein the first upper panel hook extends in a direction towards the second end of the first wall panel;

wherein the second connector receiving portion is at a first end of the second wall panel and the second connector portion is at a second end of the second wall panel;

wherein the second lower panel hook extends in a direction towards the first end of the second wall panel;

wherein the third connector receiving portion is at a first end of the third wall panel and the third connector portion is at a second end of the third wall panel;

wherein the second wall panel has only a single hook, the single hook being the second lower panel hook;

wherein the wall panel system further comprises a power supply device engaged with the first wall panel and providing electricity to at least one conductor; and

wherein the wall panel system further comprises a power receiving device which receives electricity from the power supply device through the at least one conductor; and

wherein the power supply device includes a power tool battery pack.

15. The wall panel system of claim 14 , wherein the first receiving groove is configured to selectively receive the second receiving projection to connect the first wall panel and the second wall panel.

16. The wall panel system of claim 14 , wherein the first receiving groove is configured to selectively receive the third receiving projection to connect the first wall panel and the third wall panel.

17. The wall panel system of claim 14 , wherein the third wall panel includes a slot and a power strip engaged in the slot.

18. The wall panel system of claim 17 , wherein the power strip is located between the third connector receiving portion and the third connector portion; and
