Abstract
A merchandising system comprises an anchor rail that is attached in a substantially horizontal position to a supporting surface, such as a wall. The anchor rail releasably supports a hanger that extends vertically to a position remote from the anchor rail. The hanger can be located at substantially any position horizontally along the anchor rail. The hanger is supported by the upright surface at a position remote from the anchor rail but is free of permanent attachment to the upright surface at this position so that it can be freely moved horizontally. The hanger includes an upright portion that extends substantially vertically and also includes a support arm that extends outwardly from the upright portion to support a shelf or other object thereon.

A merchandising system comprising:
- an anchor rail for attachment in a substantially horizontal disposition to a substantially vertical upright surface, said rail being constructed and arranged to receive a releasable engagement means located on at least one hanger so that the hanger is demountably attachable to the rail at any location along a length of the rail, wherein the hanger hangs freely from the rail in contact with the upright surface at a predetermined location thereon remote from the rail and the hanger being free of permanent attachment to the upright surface at the predetermined location, and the hanger being supported only by the anchor rail, the hanger comprising an upright portion which extends substantially vertically with respect to the rail when the hanger is attached to the rail and a support arm that extends outwardly from the upright surface.

- a support extending from the upright portion of the hanger toward the wall surface located at a point along the upright portion remote from the anchor rail, the support engaging the wall surface free of any permanent attachment therebetween so that the hanger is freely movable substantially horizontally relative to the anchor rail and the hanger being free of engagement with a floor surface and being supported remote from the floor only by the anchor rail;
- and
- the hanger further comprising a support arm extending outwardly away from the wall surface in a direction substantially transverse to a direction of extension of the upright portion, the support arm being locatable at a plurality of vertical locations along the upright portion.
