The anterior portion of the device, when installed in a first position, that is, usually with the shelf-being-attached horizontal (or normal to the face plane of the grid or standard), lies in a plane substantially parallel to the face plane. The posterior portion has two or more clips or stops connected serially to the anterior portion. Each clip has a load-bearing portion and a descender portion connected at substantially right angles to the load-bearing portion. When installed, the load-bearing portion of the selected clip means rests upon the lower edge of the opening in the standard or grid and the descender abuts the rear plane thereof.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 1992Date of Patent: April 6, 1993Assignee: Melrose Displays, Inc.Inventor: Frederick H.

A second panel is hinged to the first panel by a biased hinge. A bar member having a finger is attached to the upper channel and is adapted to fit into or be raised from a position where the finger inhibits sliding movement of a first panel which is adapted to be slid between unextended and extended positions, with the second panel capable of rotation between folded and unfolded positions in which the biased hinge releasably holds the second panel in said positions.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 1983Date of Patent: March 11, 1986Assignee: Melrose Displays, Inc.Inventors: Larry Coleman, Fred Van Duyne

Patent number: 4523722Abstract: Adjustable display apparatus comprising a pair of laterally spaced side supporting elements, each having an elongated front leg, an elongated rear leg, an upper section joined to the upper ends of the front and rear legs, and a lower section joined to the front and rear legs near the lower ends thereof. Elongated support bars are removably connected to the upper and lower sections of the supporting elements and are positioned near the rear legs of the supporting elements. A pair of support panels, such as aperture boards, are secured to the rear portions of the support bars to provide a mounting surface extending between the supporting elements. The support panels are overlapped at their inner ends and are removably connected together at their overlapped portions. Laterally adjustable display racks are removably mounted in vertically spaced relation on the support panels and are laterally adjusted to extend across the support panels from one supporting element to the other.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 1983Date of Patent: June 18, 1985Assignee: Melrose Displays, Inc.Inventors: Melvin Cohen, Fred V.

Patent number: 4376502Abstract: An unbreakable basket detachably coupled to a nestable shopping cart, has vertical and horizontal plastic ribs, certain ones protecting a detachably mounted sign on the forward face. The open end of the basket has a continuous rolled rim which enhances structural ridigity of the basket and protects the shopping cart and the sign. The upper end of the basket is mounted to the shopping cart by S-hooks. Recesses in the basket prevent the S-hooks swinging and facilitate assembly and disassembly.Retainer receiving members arranged along the rearward end snap fittingly receive a plastic retainer securing the basket to the cart and preventing the basket from swinging. The vertical ribs and rolled bumper rim removably receive and support the sign. The basket is tapered to permit nesting during shipment or storage. Advertising material and/or messages are printed on both sides. An angle member along the bottom of the basket behind the sign urges goods away from the sign.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 1981Date of Patent: March 15, 1983Assignee: Melrose Displays, Inc.Inventor: Melvin Cohen

Patent number: 4127196Abstract: An adjustable display fixture includes a pair of perforated display panels arranged in overlapping relationship on support structure. The support structure telescopes to change the overlap of the pair of panels so that the effective overall panel height is adjustable. To allow the support structure to telescope and provide the overlap feature of the panels, the panels are offset in opposite directions on their respective supports so that the panels do not interfere with the telescoping action of the support structure.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 1977Date of Patent: November 28, 1978Assignee: Melrose Displays, Inc.Inventor: Ralph E.
