Abstract:
A poster display and kit therefor provides an inexpensive point-of-sale advertising poster, with stiffening ribs which hold opposite vertical edges of the poster planar thereby preventing rolling or curling. Two telescoping sections with a rubber band stop provide an adjustable vertical pole support for the poster which may be attached thereto with adhesive strip. The pole of the poster display is held in an upright position by securing it to a cardboard, corrugated cut-case, or wire merchandising display using one or more specialized straps which encircle the lower pole section and hold the same to the cardboard merchandise container with an arrowhead tab, gummed plate, or, when the same is attached to a wire merchandising display or stand, by looping the strap around both the pole and a wire element of the display. The poster display kit, when disassembled into its component parts, may be packed for storage or shipping into the larger of the telescoping pole sections.
Abstract:
A foldable display box is made from a blank so that it may be shipped flat and assembled at its point of use. The blank includes a back panel, a bottom panel and a front panel hinged together along two fold lines. A pair of side panels extends from opposite edges of the front panel. The side panels each carry a flange which extends normal to the major plane of the sides and a pair of hook-shaped detent projections face the flange. Openings are formed in the back panel which receive the detent projection. The back panel is thus captured between the flange and the detent projection, holding the display box firmly assembled. An easel panel is formed to fold out of the back and bottom panels to support the display stand on a flat surface. The easel panel is divided into two portions by a hinge or fold line, with one portion forming an upstanding leg and the other portion being connectable to the bottom of the back panel. When in the folded out position the easel panel together with the back panel forms a triangular support to stabilize the assembled display box on a flat surface. The fold line in the easel panel is positioned coincident with the fold line which connects the back panel and bottom panel so that if the easel panel is not used, the box may still be readily assembled. The display box is formed of a rigid injection molded and preferably clear plastic material.
Abstract:
A merchandise display strip includes an elongated plastic strip having a mounting portion and an article suspending portion. The article suspending portion includes a first panel, a second panel, and fingers on each of the panels for suspending an article from a respective one of the first and second panels. A fold line separates the first and second panels and enables these panels to be folded in relation to each other so that at least two articles can be supported by the article suspending portion, one from each of the two panels. A third panel is provided on the article suspending portion such that it is interposed between the first and second panels and the mounting portion. The mounting portion enables the merchandise display strip to be supported from a pricing channel, a shelf, or a hook. If desired, the first and second panels can be secured to each other by adhesive, by fasteners or by inter-engaging tabs.
Abstract:
Shown is a one-piece clip of resilient plastic material for supporting and dispensing a plurality of advertisement cards. The clip is adapted for use with an upright panel, such as pegboard, provided with a clip-engageable edge, and comprises a pair of downwardly extending legs which are connected by a loop portion pressing the legs against the opposite sides of the upright panel. The rear leg is longer than the front leg having a forwardly extending protrusion spaced from the free end of the front leg adapted to pierce the panel rear side. A projection in the shape of an arrow extends from the front leg arranged to hold and dispense said cards.
Abstract:
A literature display box for supporting literature on a horizontal surface includes a center and two end parts which interfit with the center part so that they may be adjusted laterally to provide lateral expansion or contraction of the box. The back and bottom of the center part are provided with guide tracks which interfit with fingers or tines projecting from the end parts. Interengaging stops preclude separation of the parts but include cam surfaces facilitating assembly. The parts include rearwardly extending legs cooperating with the lower front edge of the center part to support the display box inclined somewhat rearwardly on a horizontal surface. The parts are preferably made of durable molded plastic.
Abstract:
A point of purchase display including a sign and a fastener made of a flat formable strip of clear vinyl or like bendable plastic material with adhesive surface portions on each side which may attach to the sign or to surfaces such as a shelf, wall or a window. The fastener may be bent to form a loop around a wire or rod and the ends attached to either side of a sign, without any surface adhesive connection to the rod or wire. Alternatively, the sign may be supported from such wall or window with the respective end secured to the wall or window and the sign to form a wobbler. For convenience, the strips may be manufactured by scoring a continuous sheet transversely which sheet may be coiled for packaging.
Abstract:
A shelf display clip for mounting display and/or informational literature and material is adapted to be secured to an elongate channel extrusion such as the type which is commonly provided on a stock shelf in a grocery store for retention of computer price cards and numerals. The display clip includes a main clip element having a center body portion and at least two radiating legs, each leg having integrally formed at the outer end thereof a wedge foot and being resiliently deflectable for insertion into a channel defined by opposed parallel lips on the front face of such channel extrusion with the feet being urged by the resilience of the legs into tight engagement with at least one of the lips firmly to hold the display clip to the extrusion. A male fastener element such as a dart or button fastener is receivable with a lock or friction fit in a forwardly opening bore in the center portion and/or an offset portion of the display clip for securing the display and/or informational material or a container for such material to the main clip element either with a perpendicular or flush mount.
Abstract:
An apparatus for supporting a sign element on a fixture includes a left side support member and a right side support member with each of the support members being separated from the other and being free standing. Each support member includes a support surface and an engagement surface that is oriented substantially transverse to the support surface. A substantially linear side groove is located along a length of the engagement surface of each of the left and right support members. A left side base and a right side base are provided on which a respective one of the support members is mounted. Preferably the bases each have a projection extending into a recess formed in a housing of the support member for engaging a wall of the housing.
Abstract:
A display for point of purchase items or packages includes a panel such as cardboard with one or more vertical rectangular slots with display hooks for supporting such items or packages mounted on the panel in the slots. The display hooks include front and rear rectangular mounting plates interconnected by a short narrow projection. The rear plate is somewhat thinner than the front plate and extends upwardly from the projection at a slight angle toward the front plate but above the front plate and forms a pad which extends generally parallel to the front plate. The lower end of the rear plate is spaced from the top of the projection slightly less than the width of the slot. Both plates are a width slightly less than the height of the slot. In this manner the hook is inserted by turning it on its side and inserting the top of the rear plate through the slot which springs away from the front plate. When the short projection engages the side of the slot the bottom of the rear plate snaps through the slot. The hook is then rotated to its upright position and slid downwardly until the short projection engages the bottom of the slot. Load moments on the hook do not produce any load moments on the edges of the slot which might be concentrated at the corners which would tend to tear the panel.
Abstract:
A point of purchase flexible pad holder and display includes a stiff plastic sheet having an upper clear section which may snap into a price channel, be hung on a peg, snapped onto a horizontal wire, locked into the top of the exposed corrugations of cut packing boxes, cases, or the like, and which may be used in toto or in part to position and secure tear-off pads or displays to essentially any surface. The sheet is formed with two symmetrical holes having intersecting slits and fold lines which enable improved versatility and stability in application.
