Abstract

An easily movable display mounting system including a mounting cup (12) secured to a slot wall by a T-shaped fastener 26.

I claim: 
     
       1. A display system for spectacle frames or the like, wherein the frames are displayed in vertical arrays, each of said frames resting upon a nose piece secured to a vertical display member, said vertical display member removably secured by a securing device to a slot wall wherein the securing device includes an outwardly open cup member including an axially, rearwardly extending peripheral edge assuring uniform contact with the wall and an axially, rearwardly extending central portion for contact with .[.member.]. a securing element, said securing element having a base which extends through the slot of the slot wall, said cup member having its base adjacent the wall, the securing element being of a T-shape in cross-section having a .[.base member.]. .Iadd.stem .Iaddend.and opposing arm members extending rearwardly from the bottom .[.base.]. .Iadd.bottom .Iaddend.of the cup member wherein the .[.base.]. .Iadd.stem .Iaddend.of the securing element is removably fastened to the .[.axially rearwardly extending central base portion.]. .Iadd.bottom .Iaddend.of the cup and said .[.base.]. .Iadd.stem .Iaddend.of the securing element is of a length to assure the arm members abut the back of the slot wall when in position and the base member being of a thickness that enables passage through the slot, the arm members being of a first thickness adjacent the base and of a second lesser thickness at the ends to accommodate variance in wall thickness, said arms of a dimension to enable them to pass through the slot of the wall when parallel thereto and to bridge the slot when perpendicular thereto whereby the cup and attached T-shaped securing member can be placed adjacent the wall with the T-shaped securing member extending through the slot, the securing member rotated through 90° and the cup and the subsequently secured display are then secured to the slot wall. 
     
     
       2. A display system as in claim 1, wherein the vertical members are secured within the cup by locking screws. 
     
     
       3. A display system as in claim 1, wherein the cup member includes a portion which is thickened for additional strength. .Iadd. 
     
     
       4.  A display system for spectacle frames or the like, wherein the frames are displayed in arrays, each of said frames resting upon a nose piece secured to a display member, said display member removably secured by a securing device to a slot wall wherein the securing device includes an outwardly open cup member having a bottom for contact with the wall and with a securing element, said securing element having a base which extends through the slot of the slot wall, the securing element being of a T-shape in cross-section having a stem and opposing arm members extending rearwardly from the bottom of the cup member wherein the stem of the securing element is removably fastened to the bottom of the cup and said stem of the securing element is of a length to assure the arm members abut the back of the slot wall when in position and the base member being of a thickness that enables passage through the slot, the arm members being of a first thickness adjacent the stem and of a second lesser thickness at the ends to accommodate variance in wall thickness, said arms of a dimension to enable them to pass through the slot of the slot wall when parallel thereto and to bridge the slot when perpendicular thereto whereby the cup and attached T-shaped securing member can be placed adjacent the wall with the T-shaped securing member extending through the slot, the securing member rotated through 90° and the cup and the subsequently secured display members are thus secured to the slot wall. .Iaddend. .Iadd. 
     
     
       5.  A display system as in claim 4, wherein the display members are secured within the cup by locking screws. .Iaddend.
