ABSTRACT:
An office accessory mounting and display system is disclosed, comprising plural mounting brackets adaptable for securement to various modular office furniture systems, and an elongated, unitarily formed accessory mounting rail for securement to the mounting brackets. Tabs are provided on the mounting brackets to receive complimentary flanges provided on the rear elongated surface of the mounting rail. The rail includes elongated, upward and downward-facing hooks on which plural office accessories or supplies may be attached and displayed or viewed. The rail further includes a downwardly-facing, inverted-"U"-shaped channel which receives plural rod segments for retaining flat sheet material. When the sheet material is pressed into the U-shaped channel, the rod segments are displaced upward; when the sheet material is released, gravitational force pushes the rods down against the interior of the channel, thereby retaining the sheet material in place by frictional force. The sheet material may be removed by pulling downward on the material with force sufficient to overcome the frictional hold between the rod segments, the sheet material, and the interior of the channel.
