Abstract

A system adapted to support items normally used in the kitchen, with the system being mounted on a backsplash wall. The system comprises a rail tube and mounting sleeves for supporting the rail tube on the wall. The rail tube is square in cross-section, and is mounted with a corner of the square being uppermost. Various supporting members are suspended from the rail tube, with the supporting members having an upper loop of the same square configuration as the rail tube. One supporting member suspendable from the rail tube is a paper towel holder having a horizontally extending frame. Two sides of the frame have a swaged area, and a hollow tube, having spaced notches, is mounted on the frame by placing the notches over the swaged areas. A roll of paper towels is supported by the tube.
