ABSTRACT:
A system for alignably mounting a plurality of panels, each of which has a pair of substantially parallel, facing engagement surfaces on its back side. The system typically includes the following components: (1) a plurality of substantially parallel channel members, each of which normally includes rearwardly extending flanges adjacent its lateral edges; (2) a plurality of clipping devices adapted to be mounted to each of the channel members, each of the clipping devices including opposing, rearwardly extending engagement fingers for engaging the channel member flanges, a pair of facing, forwardly and transversely extending gripping flanges for engaging the engagement surfaces of the panel, the gripping flanges being flexed toward each other to grip the engagement surfaces, and lever members for releasing the gripping force on the engagement surfaces, the lever members extending beyond a lateral edge of the panel being engaged by the device to permit operation thereof from a frontal position when a panel is engaged by the gripping flanges.
