Abstract: The preferred embodiments pertain to a device for protecting or isolating an object and/or a supporting chord that is used to retain or support the object. The device can include, e.g., an extruded plastic member having a flexible base portion that extends around an object and a channel portion that fixedly receives the support chord (e.g., via a snap-fit engagement). In some preferred embodiments, the channel portion is substantial rigid and the base portion is more flexible. In some preferred embodiments, the channel portion includes slits to separate it into a plurality of segments so as to facilitate bending of the device.

Abstract: Methods for making, etc., a shelf-front assembly, including, in some embodiments, extruding a plastic strip having 1) a generally horizontal floor and 2) an upward wall extending up from the generally horizontal floor; cutting a length of the plastic strip, attaching the length of the plastic strip on a shelf by sliding a portion of the generally horizontal floor under an overhanging member, and laying the generally horizontal floor on a generally horizontal portion with a blocking element in front of a retaining surface of the strip.

Abstract: A store display enabling improved structure, versatility, adaptability and/or cost effectiveness is provided. The store display includes a base sheet and a frame. The base sheet is preferably fabricated independently of the frame. The frame is preferably extruded. The base sheet is preferably molded (e.g., injection molded or extruded) and then cut to a desired size. After the sheet is formed, engaging tabs are punched along the side edge sheet. The frame includes a receiving channel having tangs that engage the engaging tabs.

Abstract: A shelf-front assembly has a first extruded plastic strip containing a label holder (e.g., a channel) and a second extruded plastic strip containing a vertical retaining wall. The first strip preferably has 1) a generally horizontal portion for placement on a shelf surface and 2) a label holder at a front end of the generally horizontal portion. The second strip preferably has 1) a generally horizontal floor and 2) an upward wall extending up from the generally horizontal floor. The first plastic strip is attached on a shelf with the generally horizontal portion on a top surface of the shelf and the label holder proximate a front side of the shelf. The first extruded plastic strip has a top snap-fit element running lengthwise along a top surface of the generally horizontal portion and has an overhanging member running lengthwise along the top surface and parallel to the top snap-fit element.
