Abstract
A mounting device for displaying items on slatwall having grooves of T-shaped cross section formed therein. The mounting device comprises a base having a pin projecting rearwardly therefrom for extending through the open throat of the T-groove of the slatwall. The distal end of the pin has a transverse cross bar thereon which is aligned with the open throat of the T-groove and moved therethrough into the channel portion of the groove when the device is being mounted on the slatwall, and then the entire device is then rotated about its longitudinal axis to turn the cross bar into a transverse position relative to the channel. The cross bar of the mounting device is of special configuration so that a wedging action occurs when the device is rotated to move the cross bar into it's transverse position which firmly and demountably attaches the device to the slatwall. A support fixture is interchangeably carried by the base of the mounting device for supporting various articles to be displayed on the slatwall.
