Abstract
A clip for mounting crossbars, which are used to support hooks for displaying merchandise, to brackets mounted on a wall. The clip includes a horizontal portion at the top with two vertical walls and a restraining lip depending from the horizontal portions. The intermediate wall has a horizontal shelf which supports the crossbar. The clip is mounted on the bracket by inserting the bracket between the rear and intermediate walls, and the crossbar is inserted between the intermediate wall and the restraining lip, and rested on the horizontal shelf. The rear wall preferably extends below the edge of the bracket and includes a protrusion which extends below the bracket to secure the clip in place. The horizontal shelf of the intermediate wall preferably includes a raised lip which retains the crossbar in place once it is attached to the bracket.
