  • Patent number: 5682698
    Abstract: A plastic sign holder is designed to fit in C-channels of different heights along front edges of respective merchandise display shelves. The holder is a plastic sheet with downwardly folded flaps of different heights at the top and bottom edges. The flaps are adapted to the heights of the respective channels so that the holder can be reversed for selective use in either channel. Either way, one of the flaps fits hook-wise in the respective channel so that the holder depends downwardly to a level below the channel. The other flap forms an upwardly facing pocket at the bottom of the holder and a sign or label can be fitted between the flaps against the back face or the holder.
