Abstract: An adjustable retaining bracket for securing a display panel to a stationary object. The invention provides a retaining bracket having a latching arm, with a rounded nose, pivotally connected to the bracket. The latching arm engages a corresponding latching pin located on a support arm. The support arm is secured to a display panel and pivotally attached to the mounting bracket using bolts. The invention is then secured to the existing store shelving using nuts and bolts. The latching arm contains at least one detent and is used to retain the display panel at a variety of viewing angles depending upon which detent engages the latching pin. When the display panel is rotated counterclockwise (toward the store shelving), the latching pin of the support arm engages the rounded nose of the latching arm, raises the arm and comes to rest in a detent position. Further movement of the sign will move the sign to the next detent position (if available). Rotation of the panel in the opposite direction will disengage the securing latch and allow the sign to swing freely to a downward vertical position.

Abstract translation: 一个用于将显示面板固定到固定物体上的可调节固定支架。 本发明提供一种具有锁定臂的保持支架，其具有圆形的鼻部，枢转地连接到支架。 锁定臂接合位于支撑臂上的对应的锁定销。 支撑臂固定到显示面板上，并使用螺栓枢转地附接到安装支架。 然后使用螺母和螺栓将本发明固定到现有的商店货架上。 锁定臂包含至少一个棘爪，并且用于根据哪个棘爪接合闩锁销将显示面板保持在各种视角。 当显示面板逆时针旋转（朝向商店货架）时，支撑臂的锁定销与锁定臂的圆形鼻部接合，升起臂并进入止动位置。 标志的进一步移动会将标志移动到下一个制动位置（如果可用）。 面板沿相反方向的旋转将使固定闩锁脱离，并允许标志自由摆动到向下的垂直位置。
