Abstract
A bracket structure for supporting a horizontal or vertical sheet-like member and adapted for attachment to a supporting apertured panel having a first U-shaped clip with two opposing spaced flat side walls joined by an integral end wall. A stem extends outwardly of the end wall which has a cylindrical slotted neck to define flexible spaced bifurcations. When the bifurcations are pressed together they define a round head which may enter an aperture in the supporting panel.

A bracket structure for supporting horizontal or vertical sheet-like members and adapted for attachment to a supporting apertured panel, comprising:
- a clip having a U-shaped body, said body having two opposing, spaced flat side walls joined by an integral end wall;
- said side walls having ridges integrally formed on inner opposing sides of said side walls for frictionally engaging one of said sheet-like members;
- and
- a stem extending outwardly of an outer side of said end wall, said stem having a cylindrical neck with a diametrical slot extending from a point intermediate the end of said stem and the outer side of said end wall to the end of said stem to define two flexible parallel spaced bifurcations, each having equal cross-sectional areas throughout their respective extents and each bifurcation terminating in a tip having a larger radius than that of said neck, both of said tips when abutted defining a head adapted to pass through an aperture in said supporting apertured panel.
