Patent number: 7490424Abstract: A telescopic sign holder for mounting to a support surface comprises a first elongated member and a second elongated member including a longitudinal axis. The second elongated member is slidably mounted in relation to the first elongated member. An adjusting structure axially spaces the second elongated member relative to the first elongated member. The adjusting structure comprises a portion of at least one of the first and second elongated members. A support member is attached to the first elongated member and includes a mounting element which releasably secures the support member to the support surface. A display member is connected to the second elongated member for releasably holding a sign. The display member includes a longitudinal axis which extends parallel to the longitudinal axis of the second elongated member.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2004Date of Patent: February 17, 2009Inventor: John Caterinacci

Patent number: 6749071Abstract: A merchandise display device for dispensing and displaying digital media cases. Digital media cases are inserted vertically into the opening between the front panel and the lateral supports. This opening limits the number of cases which can be removed and/or inserted at one time. The width of the opening allows only two cases to be inserted or removed at a time, to deter theft. The opening, however, still allows for easy access when removing or inserting the cases. A replaceable pusher is attached to the back wall of the unit to bias the digital media cases toward the front panel. The display units are broken into two separate components, a right and left side. The components allow for flexibility in arranging the display system, depending on the need of the vendor.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2001Date of Patent: June 15, 2004Assignee: American Greetings CorporationInventor: John Caterinacci

Product display system with support structures for holding product in locked and unlocked conditions
Patent number: 6170674Abstract: A locking product display system has structures for supporting planar rigid objects in a display arrangement, and where at least some of the objects are locked into the display and cannot be removed. In one embodiment, upper and lower channels engage edges of the displayed article and side panels retain the article within the channels. In another embodiment end edges of a planar displayed object are supported by fixed wall support devices and capture within a channel formed by a hinge-mounted and fastener-secured member of the support device. In each embodiment, the product support structure hold one item in a locked position, and a second item in a removable position.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 1999Date of Patent: January 9, 2001Assignee: American Greetings CorporationInventor: John Caterinacci -
Patent number: 5620103Abstract: A modular rack unit for displaying greeting cards and the like comprises a base, three upstanding support members, two top rails and four panel assemblies. Each upstanding support member has its base end secured to the base so that it is substantially normal to the base's top planar surface. Two upstanding support members are end members, located at the front corners of the base and the third upstanding support member, has its base end positioned along the rear edge approximately midway between the first and second ends. The end upstanding support members are communicated to the central upstanding support member by the two top rails, so that the end upstanding support members, the central upstanding support member, the base, and the top rails form a pair of rectangular frame areas.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 1995Date of Patent: April 15, 1997Assignee: American Greetings CorporationInventors: John A.
