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 (31)

1. A wall panel system, comprising:

a first wall panel, the first panel comprising a first panel receiving portion at a first panel top end, a first panel connecting portion at a first panel bottom end, a first panel upper panel hook and a first panel lower panel hook;

a second wall panel having a different configuration than the first wall panel, the second panel comprising a second panel receiving portion at a second panel top end, a second panel connecting portion at a second panel bottom end and a second panel lower panel hook;

a third wall panel, the third wall panel having a different configuration than the first wall panel and the second wall panel, the third wall panel comprising a third panel receiving portion at a third panel top end, a third panel connecting portion at a third panel bottom end and a third panel lower panel hook;

wherein the third wall panel is configured to engage with the first wall panel or the second wall panel;

wherein the second wall panel is configured to engage with the first wall panel or the third wall panel;

wherein the first panel receiving portion, the second panel receiving portion and the third panel receiving portion have the same configuration;

wherein the first panel connecting portion, the second panel connecting portion and the third panel connecting portion have the same configuration;

wherein the first panel lower panel hook, the second panel lower panel hook and the third panel lower panel hook have the same configuration;

wherein the first panel lower panel hook projects upwardly towards the first panel receiving portion;

wherein the second panel lower panel hook projects upwardly towards the second panel receiving portion;

wherein the third panel lower panel hook projects upwardly towards the third panel receiving portion;

wherein the first panel upper panel hook projects downwardly towards the first panel connecting portion; and

wherein the second wall panel lower panel hook is the only panel hook of the second wall panel.

2. The wall panel system of claim 1 , wherein the third wall panel includes a groove and a power strip in the groove.

3. The wall panel system of claim 2 , further comprising a first hook configured to hang on the first lower panel hook.

4. The wall panel system of claim 1 , further comprising a clip, the clip including a base portion and a pair of legs at opposite ends of the base portion, each of the legs configured to latch over the first lower panel hook;

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

wherein the legs are flexible such that a first leg of the pair of legs can snap behind the first lower panel hook.

5. The wall panel system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first wall panel, the second wall panel and the third wall panel is a conductor wall panel;

wherein the conductor wall panel includes at least three conductors; and

wherein the at least three conductors run parallel to one another.

6. The wall panel system of claim 5 , further comprising a power supply device on the conductor wall panel.

7. The wall panel system of claim 6 , further comprising a power receiving device on the conductor wall panel.

8. The wall panel system of claim 7 , wherein the power receiving device comprises at least one of a battery charger, a light, a fan and an electrical outlet.
