Abstract
A slat board hanger is used with a slat board having a L-shaped receiving groove and an elongate post for displaying articles. The slat board hanger comprises a hanger member including a first portion, a second portion and an intermediate portion. Each of the first and second portions of the hanger member defines a first tongue and a second tongue, respectively. The intermediate portion of the hanger member defines a supporting means. The first and second tongues of the hanger member are spaced apart to provide an opening to permit the supporting means of the hanger member to releasing grip in use the elongate post. The supporting means comprises a semicircle portion having two sidewalls leading from the semicircle portion thereby defining the opening formed by the spaced apart first and second tongues of the hanger member to permit the semicircle portion in use to grippingly receive and support the elongate post. Each tongue is adapted to be releasably secured within the L-shaped receiving groove by means of engagement with the L-shaped receiving groove of the slat board such that in use each the first and second tongues securely supports the hanger member on the slat board thereby enabling the elongate post to be securely supported by the supporting means of the hanger member such that articles may be displayed on the elongate post.
