Abstract
A display rack comprising a relatively long and narrow support member with a plurality of projections spaced therealong, each projection having a plurality of differently oriented holes for receiving an arm of a hook so that a hook may extend in the same direction regardless of the orientation of the support. The hook may also have a foot which engages the support when the support extends vertically or which engages the supporting surface on which the support is mounted when the support extends horizontally.
Claims9
A display rack comprising a relatively long and narrow support member with a back face for for facing a support, a front face and lateral side edges, said support member having at least one projection extending from said front face, said projection having an outer surface extending around a line which extends transversely to said front face and having a first plurality of hook receiving openings in said surface which face in a direction transverse to said line and said openings being spaced apart in a direction peripherally of said line, said projection also having a second plurality of openings therein, each of said second plurality of openings being respectively on the opposite side of said line from one of said first plurality of openings, and a relatively long and narrow hook having a free end for receiving an article to be displayed and an opposite end for engaging said projection, said opposite end having an arm extending transversely to the length of said hook which is J-shaped and thereby has a longer leg joined to a shorter leg by an intermediate leg, said shorter leg having a free end and said free end of said shorter leg being detachably receivable in any one of said openings, whereby said support member may be mounted with the length thereof oriented in either of two directions transverse to each other and said arm of said free end of said shorter leg may be inserted into an opening selected to cause said arm to be substantially parallel to the length of said support member when the length of the latter is oriented in one of said two directions and into another opening selected to cause said arm to be substantially perpendicular to the length of said support member when the length of the latter is oriented in the other of said two directions, said hook also comprising a further arm extending therefrom in opposition to the shorter leg of said first-mentioned arm, whereby when the free end of said shorter leg of said first-mentioned arm is received in one of the first plurality of openings the further arm is received in the opposite one of said second plurality of openings.
A display rack comprising a relatively long and narrow support member with a back face for facing a support, a front face and lateral side edges, said support member having a plurality of projections extending from its front face, said projections being spaced longitudinally of said member and each having an outer surface which extends around a line perpendicular to said front face, each said surface having at least four hook receiving openings therein, a first pair of said openings facing opposite to each other and in a direction perpendicular to the length of said member and a second pair of said openings facing opposite to each other and in a direction parallel to the length of said member, a plurality of relatively long and narrow hooks, each of said hooks having a free end for receiving an article to be displayed and having an opposite end, said opposite end having a first arm extending transversely to the length of the hook and insertable in any one of said openings and having a second arm spaced from and opposed to said first arm so that when the first arm is inserted in an opening the second arm extends into the opening facing oppositely to the opening into which the first arm is inserted and adhesive means on the back face of said member for securing said member to a support.
