Abstract: A mounting bracket for a slotted member such as a upright for a display fixture to allow shelves and other components to be mounted to the fixture has a main body portion having a connector bore for the component element to be affixed to the bracket. A hook at a first end of the main body engages a wall of a slot in the slotted member, while a tab at a second end of the main body member is offset rearwardly from the body member by an arm, the arm and tab being spaced from the hook a distance such that the arm extends through another slot of the slotted member. At least one of the hook and arm are position to engage an edge of the slot of the slotted member to position the bracket on the member. A portion of the tab lies behind a further slot when the bracket is installed on the slotted member, and has a threaded bore to accept a mounting bolt inserted from the front side of the slotted member to fix the mounting bracket in place on the slotted member.

Abstract: A mounting bracket for a slotted upright featuring a channel member having a channel and a forwardly extending element. An insert is positioned within the channel member and has L-shaped fingers extending through the channel. The insert is secured within the channel member by fastening screws through the channel member and into the insert. When the bracket is placed on a slotted upright so that the L-shaped fingers of the insert are within the upright slots, tightening of the screws causes the fingers of the insert to engage the slots of the slotted upright and pushes the rear side of the channel member tightly against the slotted upright. This creates an overlying relationship where the L-shaped fingers and rear side of the channel member sandwich the slotted upright to provide an extremely secure connection. The mounting bracket is easily installed or removed by tightening or loosening the screws.
Abstract: A multi-level peg assembly for attachment to a pegbar having a predetermined width, such assembly comprising: an elongated peg wire bent to provide a horizontal spine, a vertical back peg hangar depending from the rearmost portion of said spine, a front peg hanger depending from the forwardmost portion of said spine, a back peg extending forwardly from said back peg hanger, and a front peg extending forwardly from said front peg hanger; said spine, hangers, and pegs all being disposed in a common plane; a pair of rigidifying wires disposed in tandem and in association with said spine; said rigidifying wires each having vertical mounting legs depending from rearmost portions thereof; said vertical mounting legs being spaced from said back peg hanger a predetermined distance substantially equal to the width of the pegbar; detent locking means formed integrally with lower portions of said mounting legs; a C-shaped bracket having a horizontal top wall and a horizontal bottom wall joined by a front wall; a first e
