Abstract
Abstract A shelf or tray detachably secured to a conventional apertured board, such as a pegboard, to form a display unit. The shelf or tray is secured by means of a pair of wire brackets having hooking segments or hooking members, which brackets are detachably secured to the shelf or tray and the hooking segments are detachably peg-hooked into the openings in the apertured board so as to engage the apertured board to prevent lateral movement and sway of the brackets and also prevent inadvertent disassembly.
