Abstract:
A product information display tag is particularly designed for use in combination with a product support hook structure of the gangbar type having elongate support hooks extending forwardly from a transverse bar which in use is support cantilever-wise from a perforated board. The tag has a mounting portion for attachment to the hook structure at a junction of a hook and the bar, and an elongate portion for extending lengthwise over the length of the hook. The mounting portion has a central aperture whereby the tag is slid along the hook from its distal end and the mounting portion is slit into a central tab and outer wing sections. The central tab engages against the front of the gangbar and the outer wing sections are twisted over the back of the bar. Portions of the wing sections are hinged forwardly so that their upper edges snugly grip the bar. The mounting portion provides secure stabilized attachment of the tag to the hook structure. At its forward end, the tab may have tear-away panels so that its effective length can be adjusted.
Abstract:
Accurate positioning of a portable coded data reader, such as is used for reading merchandise bar codes, is achieved by a plastic display tag having a guide ledge formed integrally with a display section in which the coded indicia are displayed. When the reader is slid along the ledge it is automatically positioned properly to read the coded indicia. The guide ledge is separated from the display section by a fold line which permits the ledge to be folded substantially perpendicular to the display section. A second guide ledge may also be provided to define a guide channel between the two ledges. Mounting projections are formed integrally with the tag and project from opposite sides of the display section to engage respective apertures in an apertured support structure.
Abstract:
A product identification tag is fabricated from plastic and, in one embodiment, snap-fits onto a support member for a peg board hook without requiring removal of the hook from the peg board or the displayed merchandise from the hook. Support structure on the tag includes two holes spaced to correspond to the spacing between two legs in the hooked support member which are insertable into two peg board holes, respectively. Access channels are cut from a nearby mounting edge of the tag to the holes to permit the legs to be inserted into the respective holes only when portions of the tag which bound the access channels are flexed. In a second embodiment, using the same or a different form of tag mounting structure, the tag is secured adjacent a support wall, behind supported merchandise items, and projects forwardly alongside the supported merchandise items before terminating in a display section which is folded or bent to be disposed forwardly of the suspended merchandise.
Abstract:
An improved support element for a shelf divider, label, and sign holder system. The support element includes a substantially U-shaped rigid plastic shell which may be adhesively affixed to the upper surface of a shelf to support a shelf divider. The support element includes elongated flexible ridges or beads within a support element channel, the free ends of which are spaced from and face the interior surface that defines the channel. The ridges are compressible to exert a gripping force on the item to be retained. The support element can also be part of a label and sign holder system. Both a single and double-facing support element is provided to interact with a label holder locking strip.
Abstract:
A label holder including a transparent cover member overlying a main body panel to form a label-receiving pocket connectable to a flat front face shelf without tape. The main body panel faces the front face of the shelf. The label holder includes an attachment structure for attaching the label holder to a horizontally oriented shelf lip by defining a U-shaped slot or gap. The attachment structure includes a concave portion, preferably U-shaped, that is elastically stretchable or deformable. This allows stretching of the attachment structure to accommodate different depths of the shelf lip.
Abstract:
An electronic shelf label (ESL) holder, including an attachment member portion to be secured to a supporting surface, such as a C-channel, a holder member with protrusions for removably receiving and supporting the ESLs and, optionally, a cover member pivotally carried by the holder member to overly and protect the ESLs. The holder member includes a lip extending from at least one of the top or bottom fingers of the holder formed of flexible PVC material that is flexible relative to the remaining portion of the holder and is compressible for providing a tight fit of the ESL to the holder. The flexible lip is utilized in combination with a backing member which, in one embodiment, is a flexible PVC bead that extends along the length of the holder and, in a second embodiment, includes a relatively broad or wide pad of flexible PVC material that further provides a seal against the battery or other electronics of the ESL.
Abstract:
A label holder including a transparent cover member overlying a main body panel to form a label-receiving pocket and a locking mechanism to releasably lock the cover member with respect to the main body portion. The locking mechanism is formed by two elongated planar facing ridges lying parallel to each other and integrally formed with the cover member and the main body portion. A release element is integrally formed with the cover member. Disengagement results from an outwardly directed force component on the release element to enable the ridges to bend with respect to each other and thus disengage. The release element has different angular orientations with respect to the plane defined by the label holder cover member.
Abstract:
An information tag holder for use on the screw-threaded neck of a gas cylinder is made from a plastic sheet which has at least two thread-engagement portions with cut-outs for frictionally engaging over the screw-threads, and a tag supporting surface between the thread-engagement portions. In use, the holder is folded transversely, so that the cut-outs in the respective portions are in register and the holder is applied in this manner to the cylinder. The respective thread-engagement portions are differently dimensioned so that when the cut-outs are in register, the tag supporting surface is inclined.
Abstract:
A product information and display tag of plastic sheet material for a product support hook of the type having a proximal end bracket with upper and lower prongs which snap fit onto a flat horizontal support bar is herein disclosed. The tag has a mounting portion with a transverse slot which hooks over the upper prong of the bracket before it is fitted to the support bar, so that when the hook is fitted to the bar, the mounting portion is trapped between the bar and the bracket. Adjacent the mounting portion is an elongate portion of the tag which extends over the hook to its distal end and there is a turned-down label holder portion of the tag at the distal end of the hook for product information.
Abstract:
A sign holder is disclosed for use in attaching label cards or other signs in prominent positions projecting from a front edge of supermarket and like product display shelves. The sign holder has a box-shaped body portion made of a plastic sheet with a slit therein for receiving a label or other card. A mounting panel extends from the box-shaped body portion for attachment to an upper surface of a shelf with the body portion projecting from the front of the shelf. The mounting panel may have a depressable head formation for insertion in a perforation of a perforated shelf.
