Abstract
Abstract Accessories for racks or like supports consist of one or more carrier elements each capable of maintaining and retaining in slant position a sample book or a holder of carpet pieces, tile assemblies and the like, whereby the carrier element or elements may be readily and easily shifted along a polygonal-shaped support bar while the elements assume a predetermined angularity with respect to the support bar, as necessitated by the dimensions of the sample books.
