  • Patent number: 4891897
    Abstract: A display panel comprising a substantially planar structural layer of rigid material, a plurality of slats fastened to the structural layer, and a fastener for attaching the structural layer to a wall. The slats have a first surface that fastens flush against the structural layer. The slats also have a substantially planar second surface opposite the first surface. A horizontal slot is defined by the area between adjacent slats. A receiving slot is formed within each of the slats and extends upwardly transverse to the horizontal slot has an angled portion extending outwardly from the horizontal slot, and communicates with the horizontal slot. The fastener is a cleat which is fixedly attached to the side of the structural layer opposite the slats. The cleat has an angle cut along its lower edge.

  • Patent number: 4780349
    Abstract: A display panel comprising a structural layer of rigid material having a plurality of holes extending therethrough, a plurality of laminate sections fastened to the structural layer in parallel relationship, a fastening material fastened to the structural layer in an area between the laminate sections, and an attachment cleat affixed to the side of the structural layer opposite the laminate section. The fastening material is a VELCRO-type material that covers a linear array of holes in the structural layer. The structural layer is a sheet of pegboard material. The laminate sections extend longitudinally across the surface of the structural layer. The attachment cleat is fixedly attached to the side of the structural layer opposite the laminate sections. The attachment cleat has an angle cut along its lower edge for engaging a complementary angle cut in a support structure.

The slats have a first surface that fastens flush against the structural layer. The slats also have a substantially planar second surface opposite the first surface. A horizontal slot is defined by the area between adjacent slats. A dado slot is formed within each of the slats and extends upwardly transverse to the horizontal slot and communicates with the horizontal slot. The fastener is a cleat which is fixedly attached to the side of the structural layer opposite the slats. The cleat has an angle cut along its lower edge.
