Abstract:
1. A merchandising system comprising: at least one display module defining: at least one universal mounting bracket defining a substantially linear horizontal portion that is removably inserted into the receiving slots of the hook-like members and locked into place against the rear surface by the locking tabs, and a plurality of axially spaced prongs extending upwardly and outwardly from the horizontal portion, each prong defining an upper L-shaped portion configured for insertion between any two slats of a slatted wall and configured for insertion into at least one aperture of a perforated wall so that the merchandising system can be mounted to both slatted and perforated walls, and a lower L-shaped portion configured to rest against the slatted or perforated wall to support the merchandising system wherein (i) in the locking position, the locking tabs sufficiently extend rearwardly from the front surface and also sufficiently rearwardly past the rear surface to prevent the at least one universal mounting bracket from escaping the receiving slots of the hook-like members, and (ii) in the unlocking position, the locking tabs move forwardly such that the rearward extension of the locking tabs past the rear surface is sufficiently reduced to allow the at least one mounting bracket to escape the receiving slots of the hook-like members.
