A rack system for the display or storage of articles, which uses a hanger fabricated of a heavy gauge steel wire, so as to form a Z-shaped hanger having an article carrying portion in the middle, a retaining hook leg on one end, and a seating leg on the other end, which is seated within a trough that is attached to the front of a rack plate. The hanger is capable of sliding longitudinally back and forth along the front of the rack plate, but is prevented from upward escape by a channel, which has been affixed to the front of the rack plate, which channel holds identification tags, which are also able to freely slide back and forth along the front of the rack whenever the hangers are moved back and forth along the front of the rack. Also, there is described a method of rearranging articles by longitudinally sliding a hanger and its attendant identification tag whenever an inventory change occurs.

A rack for storage and display comprising: a primary mounting strip having a face that is oriented toward a front side of the rack, the mounting strip having at least one edge that is shaped so as to form a trough having a U-shaped configuration when viewed in cross section, the trough having a predetermined depth and defining a substantially uniform slot on the face side of the mounting strip, which is oriented substantially longitudinally in relation to at least a portion of the mounting strip; at least one hanger having a leg portion angled from an article carrying portion, the leg portion disposed in the slot and free to slide along in the slot, and adapted to keeping the article carrying portion oriented generally perpendicular to the face of the mounting strip, and is fabricated from a rigid material that forms a U-shaped configuration when the hanger is viewed from the front and a Z-shaped configuration when the hanger is viewed from the side; a secondary mounting strip fixably mounted onto the face of the primary mounting strip, and having at least two edges that have been shaped so as to form upper and lower secondary troughs, which each have a U-shaped configuration when viewed in cross section, the secondary troughs having predetermined and defining substantially uniform slots on the face side of the primary mounting strip, which are oriented substantially longitudinally in relation to at least a portion of the primary mounting strip and which are oriented substantially parallel to each other; the secondary mounting strip being fixably mounted onto the face of the primary mounting strip at a position such that the lower trough of the secondary mounting strip blocks escape of the hanger from the slot of the primary mounting strip while at the same time permitting substantially longitudinal movement of the hanger along in the slot of the primary mounting strip; and fastening means for fixably mounting the rack to a means for supporting the rack.
