Slotwall board system

Abstract

A slotwall board system comprising a panel having front and rear planar surfaces and opposing edges at least two elongate members, each elongate member being adjacently mounted at an interval height on a surface and including a base portion having opposing channels and each opposing channel having an open end, the open end being adapted for the insertion of the opposing edges of a panel into the opposing channels of adjacent elongate members and a wall attachment portion having a series of apertures adapted to receive a fastener for attaching the elongate member to the surface.

1 . A slotwall board system comprising:
 a panel having front and rear planar surfaces and opposing edges;   at least two elongate members, each elongate member being adjacently mounted at an interval height on a surface and including:
 a base portion having opposing channels and each opposing channel having an open end, the open ends being adapted for the insertion of the opposing edges of the panel into the opposing channels of adjacently mounted elongate members, and 
 a wall attachment portion having a series of apertures adapted to receive a fastener for attaching the elongate member to the surface. 
   
   
   
       2 . The slotwall board system of  claim 1 , wherein the base portion further comprises a base segment spaced from the opposing channels to permit the insertion of mounting hardware into an area defined by the base segment and the opposing channels. 
   
   
       3 . The slotwall board system of  claim 1 , wherein the mounting hardware includes at least one of a peg, a bracket and a hanger. 
   
   
       4 . The slotwall board system of  claim 1 , wherein the panel is wood. 
   
   
       5 . The slotwall board system of  claim 1 , wherein the panel is laminate. 
   
   
       6 . The slotwall board system of  claim 1 , wherein the panel is metal. 
   
   
       7 . The slotwall board system of  claim 1 , wherein the panel is one of fiberboard and particleboard. 
   
   
       8 . The slotwall board system of  claim 1 , wherein the elongate members are metal. 
   
   
       9 . The slotwall board system of  claim 1 , wherein the base portion of the elongate member further comprises a radius configured for placement of a level device. 
   
   
       10 . The slotwall board system of  claim 1 , further comprising a trim channel mounted along a top edge of the display system. 
   
   
       11 . The slotwall board system of  claim 9 , wherein the trim channel is configured to receive a level device. 
   
   
       12 . The slotwall board system of  claim 9 , wherein the trim channel comprises a recess for placement of an adhesive material. 
   
   
       13 . The slotwall system of  claim 9 , wherein the trim channel is configured to receive mounting hardware. 
   
   
       14 . The slotwall board system of  claim 1 , wherein the surface is a wall surface. 
   
   
       15 . The slotwall board system of  claim 1 , wherein the surface is a support frame. 
   
   
       16 . The slotwall board system of  claim 1 , wherein the surface is nonplanar. 
   
   
       17 . A method of constructing a slotwall board system, the method comprising the steps of:
 mounting at least two elongate members to a surface at interval heights on a surface, wherein the configuration of each elongate member defines a base portion having a base segment and opposing channels, the base segment being spaced from the opposing channel to permit the insertion of mounting hardware into an area defined by the base segment and the opposing channels and the opposing channels being adapted for the insertion of a panel;   inserting a panel into the opposing channels; and   inserting mounting hardware into the area defined by the base segment and the opposing channels.
