Abstract
A system for displaying objects which comprises a panel having horizontal channels therein and a clip which may be interlocked within one of the channels is provided. The panel includes a base. At evenly spaced intervals along the base, a plurality of flanges project forwardly from the base and lie in a plane which is perpendicular to the plane of the base. Each adjacent pair of the flanges forms one of the channels within which the clip may be interlocked. A plurality of slats are connected to the flanges and lie in a plane which is perpendicular to the plane of the flanges and parallel to the plane of the base. Each slat is connected to a different one of the flanges such that each slat has a corresponding flange. Further, each slat has an upper portion and a lower portion. Intermediate each adjacent pair of the flanges, there is a raised portion. Each raised portion has a flat front surface. The clip includes a base portion and a clip member projecting forwardly from a front surface of the base portion. The base portion has a flat rear surface. When the clip is interlocked within one of the channels, the rear surface of the base portion of the clip lies in uniform contact with the front surface of the raised portion of the panel.
