  • Patent number: 6189248
    Abstract: A mounting bracket for securing an electronic label to the front of a store display shelf. The bracket is a one-piece metal sheet formed to provide a central body portion with clips for securing the electronic label. An upper support member extends rearwardly from the upper edge of the body portion and has shelf-engaging lugs adapted to be received in selected ones of regularly spaced openings in the shelf. A spring clip extends rearward from the bottom edge and resiliently and/or frictionally engages bottom contours of the shelf, to secure the bracket at the front edge of the shelf. The bracket is considerably less expensive and easier to install then conventional devices for this purpose, which typically extend the full length of a display shelf.

  • Patent number: 6035569
    Abstract: A label holder and mounting clip for the mounting and display of electronic labels. A label holder of extruded plastic material snugly receives the enclosure of the electronic label which can be protected by a clear cover extending over the front of the label holder at least slightly spaced from the front of the label. A mounting strip is coextruded with the body of the label holder and is flexibly attached thereto by a co-extruded living hinge. Mounting brackets, of spring metal or the like, are received in pricing channels along the front of display shelving, or are otherwise mounted at the front of the shelving, and include a forwardly displaced, upwardly extending mounting tongue received in a downwardly opening slot in the flexibly attached mounting strip.

  • Patent number: 5769373
    Abstract: A merchandise display hook for mounting on an apertured display panel having a wire-like element with a vertical base portion. Upper and lower parallel, spaced-apart cross bars are fixed perpendicular to the base portion and a back plate having lug portions adapted to be inserted into the apertured display panel is pivotally connected to the upper cross bar. The back plate is adapted to lockingly engage the lower cross bar whereby pivoting the back plate allows the straight-in entry of the merchandise display hook and the locking engagement of the back plate to the lower cross bar prevents the rotation of the back plate when under load and provides for the transfer and distribution of forces from the base portion to the back plate.
