Claim:
A display system, comprising: a panel having an array of evenly spaced holes therethrough; a plurality of supports selectively mounted to the front face of the panel to selectively support display items, said supports each including a support body having a distal end spaced from the panel and a proximal end adjacent the panel, a pair of legs extending from the proximal end of the support body and through holes in the panel, said legs each having an ear spaced from said support body proximal end to define a shoulder facing the rear face of the panel, support flanges on said support body proximal end defining mounting surfaces facing said panel front face, a biasing flange on said support body proximal end including a flexible portion projecting beyond said support flange mounting surfaces toward said shoulders defined on said leg ears, and flexible biasing wings extending laterally from said support flanges, said wings being curved laterally whereby the wing ends spaced from said support flanges engage said panel the thickness of each biasing wing being tapered to reduce as the spacing from the associated support flange increases; whereby said biasing flange flexible portion engages the front face of said panel to draw said ear shoulders into engagement with the rear face of said panel.
