Publication number: 20140196335Abstract: A label holder for a retail display apparatus is provided. The label holder comprises a front panel, a sign clip, and a mounting structure for securing the label holder to the retail display apparatus. The sign clip includes a leg portion, including a gripping surface, and resiliently biases to secure a sign between the gripping surface and the front panel. In one embodiment, defined in the front panel are two sign engagement projections that interleavingly interact with the gripping surface. The sign clip is integrally connected to the front panel via an integral hinge and pivots relative to the front panel through the integral hinge between a normal state and a biased state. In the normal state, the leg portion of the clip is positioned proximate the front panel. In the biased state, the leg portion is spaced apart from the front panel and holds a secondary sign therebetween.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2014Publication date: July 17, 2014Applicant: SOUTHERN IMPERIAL, INC.Inventors: Patrick J. Barkdoll, Stanley C. Valiulis, Nicholas C. Juric, Todd C. Westberg

Patent number: 8711553Abstract: A mounting fixture includes a box, a first arm, and a second arm. The box includes a primary panel, four sidewalls rearwardly extending from the primary panel, and a central hub rearwardly extending from a rear surface of the primary panel. The first arm extends beyond one of the four sidewalls, includes a first elongated slot, and has a first hook section at an outermost end thereof. The first elongated slot extends around and is slidably adjustable relative to the central hub to cause the first arm to extend further from or closer to the one of the four sidewalls. The second arm extends beyond a different one of the four sidewalls, includes a second elongated slot, and has a second hook section at an outermost end thereof. The second elongated slot extends around and is slidably adjustable relative to the central hub.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2012Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: Target Brands, Inc.Inventors: Nick Quang Trinh, Joseph Harlan Bowser, Jim W.
