Abstract

A multiple function bracket for attaching various display fixtures to slot walls, wire grid walls, hang bars and many other types of display fixtures. The bracket is formed with a top web and three depending flanges of unequal length and spacing. A narrow groove is formed between a high front flange and a medium height intermediate flange for engaging hang bars and smaller diameter wires on displays fixtures. A wider groove is formed between the intermediate flange and a shorter rear flange for engaging either a slot wall or larger diameter wires or rods in a wire grid wall. The rear flange is sufficiently short to pass into a slot in a slot wall. The bracket may be bonded or welded or otherwise secured to, for example, a display cabinet or a shelf or a neck arm. Or, a vertical hole may be formed in a vertical rib on a front face of the higher flange for receiving a wire hook or rod or other wire fixture.
