Abstract

A flat plastic structure is provided with several horizontal, parallel rows of openings, each comprising several single, for horizontally attaching openings, alternating with several double, for vertically attaching openings. Each of the several single, for horizontally attaching openings has an upper and a lower wall converging inwardly from horizontal edges of those several openings. A flat bar for horizontally attaching centrally connects opposite vertical walls of each single opening. A double, for vertically attaching opening incorporates a vertically extending, centrally located apex-shape structure formed by a pair of intersecting walls diverging towards the back side. A flat bar for vertically attaching is located at each side of the vertically extending centrally located apex-shape structure connects opposite vertical walls of the double, vertically attaching opening.

Claims (20)

1. A plate having a back side adapted to be secured to a base and a front side adapted for attaching various items, incorporating

a flat, plastic molded structure provided with several horizontal, parallel rows of openings, each one of said several horizontal, parallel rows of openings comprising several single, for horizontally attaching openings, alternating with several double, for vertically attaching openings; each one of said several single, for horizontally attaching openings, having an upper and a lower wall, said upper and lower walls inwardly converging from horizontal edges of said each one of said single, for horizontally attaching openings, towards said back side of said plate adapted to be secured to said base and said front side adapted for attaching various items;

a flat bar or horizontally attaching, centrally connecting opposite vertical walls of said each one of said several single, for horizontally attaching openings, said flat bar for horizontally attaching extending underneath into a rounded protuberance;

each one of said several double, for vertically attaching openings incorporating a vertically extending, centrally located apex-shape structure formed by a pair of intersecting walls diverging towards said back side; said each one said several double, for vertically attaching openings being horizontally limited by a pair of inwardly converging walls; and

a flat bar for vertically attaching, being located at each side of said vertically extending centrally located apex-shape structure, connects opposite vertical walls of said each one of said several double, for vertically attaching openings.

2. A plate having a back side adapted to be secured to a base and a front side adapted for attaching various items, incorporating

a flat, plastic molded structure provided with several horizontal, parallel rows of openings, each one of said several horizontal, parallel rows of openings comprising several single, for horizontally attaching openings, alternating with several double, for vertically attaching openings; each one of said several single, for horizontally attaching openings, having an upper and a lower wall, said upper and lower walls inwardly converging from horizontal edges of said each one of said several single, for horizontally attaching opening, towards said back side of said plate adapted to be secured to said base and said front side adapted for attaching various items;

a flat bar for horizontally attaching, centrally connecting opposite vertical walls of said each one of said several single, for horizontally attaching openings, said flat bar for horizontally attaching extending underneath into a rounded protuberance;

each one of said several double, for vertically attaching openings incorporating a vertically extending, centrally located apex-shape structure formed by a pair of intersecting walls diverging towards said back side; said each one said several double, for vertically attaching openings being horizontally limited by a pair of inwardly converging walls; and

a flat bar for vertically attaching, being located at each side of said vertically extending centrally located apex-shape structure, connects opposite vertical walls of said each one of said several double, for vertically attaching openings;
