Claim Text:
1. An apparatus for supporting and displaying a planar object when connected to a mounting substrate defining at least one aperture, the supporting and displaying apparatus comprising: an elongated body member having a longitudinal axis, the body member comprising a pair of arms extend rearwardly from the body member, the arms are formed on their ends with lugs extending transversely in opposite directions, at least one of the arms resiliently deflectable in a direction transversely of the longitudinal axis of the body member for engagement and retention of the lugs in the at least one aperture of the mounting substrate, wherein during connection of the supporting and displaying apparatus to the mounting substrate the lugs are adapted to engage the portion of the mounting substrate defining the at least one aperture for moving the at least one of the arms inwardly so that the lugs pass through the aperture for permitting the arms to move outwardly and the lugs engage the mounting substrate to releasably connect the body member to the mounting substrate, and wherein to disconnect the body member the arms are moved inwardly causing disengagement of the lugs from the mounting substrate so that the lugs pass through the opening allowing the body member to be moved away from the mounting substrate.
