Abstract: A sign fixture includes a support beam, a sign holder and at least one H-bracket. The support beam having a first end and a second end and supported by a product display structure. The sign holder supports a sign indicative of information related to a product displayed for sale. The at least one H-bracket includes a magnet to magnetically couple a first portion of the support beam to a first portion of the sign holder.

Abstract: A display system includes a binder, a header, a retaining bracket and an extension assembly. The binder includes a plate, a plurality of sheets and an attachment assembly. The plate has a front surface, a rear surface and an edge. The attachment assembly secure the sheets at the front surface of the plate and maintains and displays information. The header includes indicia and is adapted to be positioned in a retracted position where the header is substantially obscured from view by the plate and an extended position where the header extends substantially from the edge of the plate. The retaining bracket is attached to the rear surface of the plate. The extension assembly is adapted to engage the retaining bracket to maintain the header in the extended position.

Abstract: The visual metronome provides an effective visual tempo signal that is easily discerned by a user without being dominating or harmful. Preferably a user will position the metronome to one side of the center of his expected line of site. The metronome visible within a user's peripheral vision uses an inversing dominant pattern producing two visual states. Each visual state is maintained for one beat of the beat per minute rate set by a user. Each visual state includes a light region and a dark region of similar size and a preferred dominant pattern includes a four region checkerboard pattern.
