Patent number: 10134308Abstract: A mounting member, for supporting a sign holder assembly relative to a substantially horizontal member of a display system, includes a front plate, at least one side panel, and a back support. The front plate selectively receives the sign holder assembly and has a substantially planar primary surface. The at least one side panel is coupled to and extends away from the substantially planar primary surface of the front plate. The back support is coupled to the at least one side panel opposite and spaced from the front plate, at least partially defining use and storage channels each open toward a different one of at least two directions. Each of the use and storage channels are sized to independently and selectively straddle the substantially horizontal member to selectively couple the mounting member to the substantially horizontal member in a different one of a use orientation and a storage orientation.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2016Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: TARGET BRANDS, INC.Inventors: Robert G. Logan, Jeremy A. Clark, David H. Cheney, Jason L. Dusbabek, Paul A. Schlough

Patent number: 9892664Abstract: A sign holder assembly comprises a cross bar and a mounting member. The mounting member is selectively coupled with the cross bar and includes a front panel, at least two elongated reception channels, a first flange, and a second flange. Each of the at least two elongated reception channels is sized and shaped to sit over and extend at least partially around the cross bar to couple the mounting member to the cross bar. The first flange is offset from and extends substantially parallel to the front panel; the first flange defines a free top edge of the mounting member. The second flange is substantially coplanar with and extends in an opposite direction as the first flange to define a free bottom edge of the mounting member opposite the free top edge. The first flange and the second flange are configured to collectively receive a sign holder support member.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2016Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: TARGET BRAND, INC.Inventors: Robert G. Logan, Jeremy A. Clark, David H. Cheney, Jason L. Dusbabek, Paul A. Schlough

Patent number: 9424764Abstract: A sign holder assembly comprises a support member and a mounting member. The support member includes a substantially planar panel and a plurality of rails. The plurality of rails rearwardly extend from a surface of the substantially planar panel and define at least one reception track extending between two adjacent ones of the plurality of rails. The mounting member includes a main body, a coupling rail, and a magnet. The main body includes a bottom end and two opposing side surfaces. The magnet is secured to the bottom end and is configured to selectively and magnetically couple with a top spine of a separate display fixture. The coupling rail is coupled to one of the two opposing side surfaces of the main body. The coupling rail is slidably secured within the at least one reception track such that the support member is supported relative to the separate display fixture.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2015Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignee: Target Brands, Inc.Inventors: Robert G.

Patent number: 9142150Abstract: A sign holder assembly includes a support member and a cover member. The support member includes a substantially planar panel and a plurality of rails. The panel extends between a first end and a second end and between a top edge and a bottom edge and has a front surface and a rear surface. The plurality of rails rearwardly extend from the rear surface of the panel and are spaced vertically from one another to define at least two reception tracks each extending between two adjacent ones of the plurality of rails. The cover member is substantially transparent and has a bottom longitudinal edge and a top longitudinal edge. The cover member is angled from the bottom longitudinal edge toward the front surface of the support member such that the sign holder assembly is configured to maintain a sign between the cover member and the front surface of the panel.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2013Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: Target Brands, Inc.Inventors: Robert G.

Patent number: 8782936Abstract: An end frame assembly configured to be coupled to a product display structure includes an elongated post, an arm, and a sign holder. The arm is coupled to and extends away from a top end of the elongated post to define a free end opposite the elongated post, defines an internal cavity, and includes a bottom panel defining two or more slots extending longitudinally through the bottom panel of the arm between the free end and the elongated post. Each of the two or more slots provides access to the internal cavity. The sign holder defines a top edge including a rail section. The rail section slidably couples with the arm via one of the two or more slots and is at least partially maintained within the internal cavity of the arm. The sign holder extends through the slot and hangs downwardly from the bottom panel of the arm.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2012Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: Target Brands, Inc.Inventors: Robert G. Logan, Jeremy A. Clark, David H. Cheney, Paul A. Schlough, Jason L. Dusbabek

Patent number: 8650785Abstract: A sign holder assembly includes a front enclosure and a rear cover. The front enclosure includes a front plate, two opposing sidewalls, a top wall, and a bottom wall collectively defining a cavity. The front plate defines a front opening. The rear cover includes a rear panel, a top panel, a bottom panel, and a top rail. The top rail extends downwardly from the top panel toward the bottom panel to at least partially define a first top channel configured to slidably maintain an enlarged portion of a sign such that the sign hangs downwardly from the first top channel and extends across the front opening. The rear cover selectively transitions with respect to the front enclosure between a closed configuration and an open configuration.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2012Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: Target Brands, Inc.Inventors: Robert G.

Publication number: 20020084628Abstract: A multipurpose carrier capable of transporting people and/or consumer goods is disclosed. The multipurpose carrier disclosed can be readily converted between first configuration (e.g., a stroller configuration) and a second configuration (e.g., a shopping cart configuration). The carrier comprises a rigid retaining module that is positionable between a first configuration (e.g., a stroller configuration) and a second configuration (e.g., a shopping cart configuration). The carrier also comprises a frame assembly supporting the retaining module. The frame assembly is constructed and arranged to support the retaining module such that the retaining module in the first configuration is offset from the retaining module in the second configuration. In one embodiment of the invention, the carrier also comprises a linkage arrangement pivotably securing the retaining module to the frame assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 3, 2001Publication date: July 4, 2002Inventors: Michael D.
