Claim:
A display bar assembly for mounting on spaced apart slotted uprights on a merchandising wall, which comprises (a) a tubular display bar of polygonal cross section and of predetermined length, (b) first and second mounting brackets for securing said display bar to said spaced apart uprights, (c) said mounting brackets each having a shaped opening for close-fitting but slideable, normally non-rotating reception of said display bar, (d) said opening being sufficiently closed on all sides that said display bar normally cannot be removed therefrom by movement in a direction transverse to a longitudinal axis of the display bar, (e) each of said mounting brackets having a plurality of right angularly spaced side edges and a plurality of slot engaging hooks for engaging slots in front walls of said uprights in a plurality of rotational orientations of said brackets, (f) said slot engaging hooks having portions spaced from and extending for a distance along adjacent side edges of said brackets and forming with said side edges a plurality of recesses for reception of front wall portions of adjacent said uprights, (g) each of said recesses of each of said mounting brackets being unidirectionally oriented, to open in the same clockwise direction, (h) said mounting brackets being slideably adjustable lengthwise along said display bar to match the spacing between said slotted uprights, and (i) retainer means provided on said display bar at each end thereof, and (j) said retainer means having portions projecting beyond outer surface portions of said display bar to provide positive retention of said slideable mounting brackets on said display bar, (k) said display bar having a region of limited axial length having a cross sectional configuration accommodating rotation of said brackets relative to said display bar, whereby a different set of slot engaging hooks may be presented to said slotted uprights without requiring a new rotational orientation of said display bar.
