  • Patent number: 4316547
    Abstract: A hang rail support and bracket in which the hang rail is of rectangular cross section and is adapted to be supported in such a manner that other brackets may be secured along the length of the rail and have merchandise hung therefrom in cantilever fashion. The support and bracket is adapted to be secured to a vertical standard such as the conventional slotted ones and has a vertically extending notch having a U-shaped liner member or grommet of yieldable but firm material such as plastic seated in the notch. The throat of the liner member or grommet is of a size and configuration firmly to engage a rectangular cross section hang rail pressed into the grommet throat. Through the use of at least a pair of such brackets provided with notches and grommets the hang rail can be supported and prevented from rotating while resisting inadvertent removal and endwise sliding relative to the brackets.
