Label holder and sign holder system for merchandise display shelves

摘要

A label holder and sign holder system for attachment along the front face of a merchandise display shelf. The label holder has a forwardly projecting, downwardly opening sign grip extending along its upper edge for receiving and gripping upper edges of sign cards, which can be positioned along the length of the label holder. A sign holder, which is narrow in relation to the label holder, has a mounting clip at its upper edge which snaps over the sign grip and releasably locks the sign holder to the label holder, while permitting the sign holder to be laterally adjusted along the label holder. The sign holder has a panel extending downward from the mounting clip and carrying a sign clip for displaying a sign at right angles to the label holder. When no sign is displayed, the sign holder can be left in position or moved to an inconspicuous location.

主权项

1. A label holder and sign holder system for mounting at a front edge of a merchandise display shelf, which comprises
an extruded label holder formed of plastic material and including a label display panel arranged to overlie the front edge of said shelf and a mounting portion for securing a lower portion of said label display panel to said display shelf, a sign grip integrally formed at an upper edge of said label display panel and comprising an upper margin of said label display panel, an upper flange extending forward from said upper margin and a forward flange extending downward from a said upper flange and overlying said upper margin of said label support panel in spaced relation thereto to form a downwardly opening sign-receiving cavity, at least one of said forward flange and said upper margin of said label display panel having a flexible element mounted thereon within said cavity and extending toward the other of said flange or margin for receiving and retaining an upper edge portion of a sign card, said label holder being of a length to extend along a full length of a shelf section or a substantial portion thereof, and a movable sign holder mounted at the front of said label holder, said sign holder being extruded of a plastic material and having a width which is a small fraction of the length of said label holder, said sign holder comprising a mounting clip portion at an upper edge thereof and a sign mounting panel extending downward from said mounting clip portion, said mounting clip portion comprising a downwardly extending back flange, a top flange extending outwardly from an upper edge of said back flange, a front flange extending downwardly from a forward edge of said top flange, and a bottom flange extending rearward from a lower edge of said front flange, a space between the front and back flanges of said sign holder being at least as great as a front-to-back thickness of said sign grip, and a space between a rearward edge of said bottom flange and said back flange being less than said thickness, said front and back flanges of said sign holder having a resiliently flexible association, such that said front flange and bottom flange may be temporarily displaced outward from said back flange to enable said back flange to be inserted behind upper portions of said label display panel and said bottom flange to be positioned below the forward flange of said sign grip to releasably lock said sign holder together with said label holder, said sign holder being slidable laterally along the length of said label holder while being lockingly connected thereto.
