Abstract: A setting apparatus (1) can displace push elements (5) in a sign display module (4), with the push elements (5) each being held in the display ducts (6) of the sign display module (4) and being displaceable from a first position in which the face surfaces (5a) of the push elements (5) are visible on a display surface (7) of the sign display module (4) to a second position in which said face surfaces (5a) are arranged substantially in a non-visible way at a distance behind the display surface (7) in the sign display module (4). In order to enable a flexible and rapid setting of a sequence of signs of random length on a sign display module, at least one receptacle (8) is provided for the sign display module (4) to be set and a setting device (3) is arranged in the receptacle (8) which causes the displacement of the push elements (5) during the insertion of the sign display module (4) into the receptacle (8).

Abstract: An apparatus for displacing slide elements (3) in an apparatus for displaying characters, which consists of a basic part (1) comprising openings (3) for receiving the slide elements (3) and a visible surface (1a) and a reverse side opposite of the same, with the slide elements (3) being arranged in a displaceable manner from a first position to a second position in which the face surface (5) is arranged in the basic part (1) at a distance behind the visible surface (1a) and is substantially not visible. Two handle strips (7, 8) are provided which can be pressed against each other and on which there are arranged setting templates (16, 17) which are adjustable relative to each other and comprise positioning pins (34) which can be inserted into openings (2) of the basic part (1), and ) which can be introduced from both sides into the openings (2).

Abstract: An apparatus for displaying letters, numbers or symbols, especially for marking the prices of goods, with displaceable movable members arranged in a basic body. In order to provide an apparatus of the kind mentioned above which is small and versatile and allows displaying letters, numbers and symbols without requiring a store of the various characters and without requiring any complex puzzle-like composition of the letters, numbers or symbols in order to produce the desired information, it is provided that the movable members (3) are held in the opening (2) by means of a sliding seat or a loose fit.

Abstract: An apparatus for displacing slide elements (3) in an apparatus for displaying characters, preferably a price label, which consists of a basic part (1) comprising openings (3) for receiving the slide elements (3) and a visible surface (1a) and a reverse side opposite of the same, with the slide elements (3) being arranged in a displaceable manner from a first position in which a face side (5) of the slide elements (3) is visible from the visible surface (1a) of the basic part (1) to a second position in which the face surface (5) is arranged in the basic part (1) at a distance behind the visible surface (1a) and is substantially not visible.
