AI Technical Summary
Standard tool pegboards require special mounting systems that incur additional costs and pose safety hazards due to the risk of tools and holders falling, especially under vibration or improper use.
The use of threaded elements, such as blind rivet nuts, cage nuts, or impact nuts, inserted into evenly distributed holes of the pegboard, allowing tools and storage containers to be securely fastened with common fasteners like screws, eliminating the need for specialized holders.
Enhances the flexibility and safety of tool attachment by reducing the risk of injury and costs associated with specialized holders, while ensuring secure fastening.

Abstract
Description
[0001] Tool pegboards are used for the clear and organized storage and accessibility of tools and containers. They are mounted on walls or workbenches and are made of metal, plastic, or wood. They are used in workshop equipment and in the home.
[0002] Standard tool pegboards require special mounting systems to hold tools or storage containers. In the simplest case, these are simply hooked in. With these tool pegboards, you are dependent on the manufacturer's holders, which incurs additional costs. Furthermore, there is a potential hazard, as vibration or improper use can cause not only the tool but also the holder to fall. Most common tool pegboards are equipped with numerous evenly spaced holes into which special tool holders are inserted.
[0003] In the invention, threaded elements (2) are inserted into the evenly distributed holes of the tool perforated panel (1). This allows the tool to be securely attached using a common fastener, such as a screw, significantly improving the function and flexibility of the tool perforated panel. A special tool holder is not necessarily required, thus increasing the ease of creating custom tool holders. Storage containers or tool holders can be screwed into the threaded elements instead of being hooked in, reducing the risk of injury and increasing safety. In the invention, the threaded elements are designed, for example, as blind rivet nuts, cage nuts, weld nuts, or impact nuts to ensure the simple and secure fastening of tools, storage containers, or tool holders.
