Abstract
Abstract A hanger device for mounting and displaying or storing on a wall articles such as pictures, record albums, tape cartridges, merchandise and other decorative or functional items. The device comprises an elongate strip of flexible, apertured hanger material which can be rolled or folded for packaging purposes and later unrolled or unfolded by the user and hung vertically on a wall. Hooks are provided for fastening the articles to the hanger material at different vertical locations, each hook being adaptable to be inserted into an aperture of the flexible material and having a mounting plate coated with a pressure sensitive adhesive adaptable for mounting each hook to the back of an article to be displayed. Multiple hanger strips hung in side-by-side relation, each supporting a vertical array of articles, are utilized to provide a full wall display.
