Abstract: A channel insert may be inserted into and secured within a sign board. The channel insert may include a concave surface and a convex surface opposite the concave surface. When the channel insert is inserted into a panel of the sign board, the concave surface may engage an inner surface of a channel track of the panel, and the convex surface may engage a surface of the panel to secure the channel insert in the sign board.

Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for mounting and removing electronic shelf label (ESL) modules includes a channel having a first portion for receiving an ESL module and a second portion for receiving a display holder. A tool aids in removal of the ESL from the first portion and aids in removal of the display holder from the second portion. The display holder has an engagement edge that fits into the second channel and a sign gripper with a movable portion connected to a fixed portion. A peg on the movable portion extends through the sign and into a hole in the fixed portion.
Abstract: A holder for electronic shelf labels includes a channel having upper and lower ledges with upper and lower gripping flanges defining an engagement space into which a back of the electronic shelf label is mounted. A fin extends from a backplane of the channel, the fin having one side perpendicular to the backplane. The front of the upper and lower gripping flanges have inwardly-directed bevels. A breakaway guide is connected by a thinned portion to the backplane to engaging an edge of a mounting structure. The breakaway guide is removable following mounting of the channel.

Abstract: A sign holder grips a sign by pressing gripper jaws against opposite sides of the sign at an edge region of the sign. The sign holder includes a fastener to exert a pressing force on the gripper jaws. A mounting portion on the sign holder mounts onto a front plate of a base. The base may include an under-shelf support configured to attach to an under-side of a shelf, either by a magnet or a clamp. The base may include a plurality of suction cups mounted on a suction cup adapter to which the sign holder may be affixed.
Abstract: A system and method for mounting a display or sign includes an elongated channel having magnets that are affixed to a ceiling grid and mounting hooks or the like to suspend the sign or display from the channel. The channel includes high friction strips on a neck for engagement by a pole end gripper on a pole for mounting the channel on the ceiling while the user stands on the floor. End caps may be mounted on the channel. Mounting plates may be affixed to the ceiling or wall for magnetically engaging the channel. A wall mount channel includes an offset neck for gripping by the pole end gripper. A magnetic clip including a string for suspending a display may be mounted with the pole end gripper. An embodiment of the channel includes hooks for engaging an open girder ceiling, horizontal member, or other structure.
Abstract: A sign support includes a mounting bracket and a sign holder. The mounting bracket selectively engages an associated fixture. The sign holder has a mounting bracket engaging member and a sign holding member that engages and holds a sign. An adhesive fastens the mounting bracket engaging member to the mounting bracket. The adhesive is an upstream adhesive such that the user receives the mounting bracket already bonded to the sign holder.
