  • Patent number: 7055274
    Abstract: A sign holder assembly formed by a support member attachable to a supporting surface such as a merchandise-receiving shelf, and a sign carried by the support member. The support member includes a backing member and a hingedly secured, latchable, cover. A cruciform-shaped slit extends through the cover and the sign includes one or more bendable tabs inserted through the slits to be captured in a pocket formed when the cover is latched so as to support a flag generally perpendicularly to the supporting surface. The assembly may be secured to the shelf by “push pins” or the like and an attaching element may integrally incorporate the push pins, may include slots through which the push pins may be engaged in the shelf apertures, may be relatively thin so the push pins may pierce the same, or may include any combination of one or more such securing elements.

  • Publication number: 20050218280
    Abstract: A merchandise support hook mountable to perforated boards through a backing plate having four tabs or ears for supporting the plate on the perforated board. The backing plate upper tabs have a vertical component greater in length than the diameter of the apertures within the perforated board. The lower tabs have a vertical component shorter in length than the diameter of the aperture within the perforated board. This results in minimal tilting of the combined hook and backing plate when inserting or removing the assembly from the perforated board. The hook and backing plate could be a one-piece structure or a two-piece structure where the hook is removably affixed to the backing plate.
