Abstract
A display panel includes a plurality of horizontal grooves that each have a throat open to the panel face and extend to an inner cavity for receiving an s-shaped hanger end portion of a bracket adapted to support articles. The groove has a compact cross-sectional shape including reduced opening and inner cavity widths and increased panel wall and throat wall thicknesses at the opening. The throat wall may be inclined to transfer compressive load forces from the panel wall engaged by the upper extremity of the hanger end portion. The inner cavity may have a bulbous shape and be provided with a reinforcing liner. Compact hanger end portions include central portions of increased length, and optionally inclined, to be fully supported along the throat wall. The compact hanger end portions may be provided by reshaping standardized bracket hardware.
