Abstract: The invention relates to a sign hanger A, for facilitating the hanging of items such as a banner or the like from suspended ceiling grids in a store. The sign hanger is adapted to have a twist-lock releasable connection with a ceiling grid. A friction lock structure 42, 58 is added to decrease the likelihood of accidental deinstallation of the sign hanger A. In one embodiment the hanger has an elongated body 10 having spaced apart flanges 125, 130 in order to hold a banner 200. In another embodiment the hanger has a centrally located plateau 864, which co-operates with tapered surfaces 836 and 850 on respective clips 804 and 808 to hold the hanger in place on the ceiling grid.

Abstract: A multi-component, interchangeable display system 500 is connectable with a support surface 276 such as an upright rail of a shelving system. The display system provides for the display of a variety of signs 652 on interchangeable display members 504 which may be slidably connected to a support bracket R. The support bracket includes a planar support body 506 having spaced fingers 508,510 which selectively engage openings 614 in the support rail. The display member includes a hinge portion 654, formed from a resiliently flexible material, which allows the sign to be bumped without damage.

Abstract: A multi-component, interchangeable display system is connectable with a support member such as an upright rail or a horizontal shelf. The display system provides for the display of a variety of signs and merchandise items on interchangeable display members which may be pivotally connected or non-pivotally connected to a support bracket. The support bracket includes a planar support member having a plurality of spaced fingers which selectively engage openings in the support member. An upwardly open housing is mounted on the support member. The housing includes a bore. The display member includes a stem which is selectively received in the bore of the housing.

Abstract: An integrally formed elongated plastic strip merchandiser includes a mounting portion and a display portion. The display portion has a plurality of vertically spaced integral tongues for supporting associated merchandise items. Each tongue has a base of one piece with the strip and lying in the plane of the strip and a tip protruding out of the plane of the strip. A pair of tapering sidewalls lead from the base to the tip. A plurality of first shoulders protrude from the strip in a direction approximately normal to the strip. Each first shoulder is located adjacent a respective tongue tip. Preferably, a plurality of second shoulders protrude in a direction approximately normal to the strip. A respective one of the plurality of first shoulders are located on one side of each tongue tip and a respective one of the plurality of second shoulders is located on another side of each tongue tip.

Abstract: A holder for an electronic information carrier includes a body having a cavity for holding an associated electronic price label, a rear wall having a convex section and an aperture extending through the convex section. An adapter cooperates with the body. The adapter has a front wall with a concave section in which the rear wall convex section of the body can be accommodated. An aperture extends through the concave section. The adapter aperture is aligned with the body rear wall convex section aperture. A fastener selectively extends through the aligned aperture to secure the holder to the adapter and orient the body at a first angle to a horizontal plane.

Abstract: A flag and label holder assembly for holding signs or labels for displaying prices and other information on merchandise display racks and shelves. The flag and label holder includes a base, a support member and a holder for selectively accommodating a sign. The support member can be pivotable in relation to the base via a hinge. The support member further includes a rib extending from the support member and positioned between a pair of L-shaped walls. The rib engages the holder. The base further includes a hook and, spaced therefrom, a finger which are both secured to the bottom surface of the base. The hook and finger engage a wall surface adjacent a respective hole in a display rack or shelf. The holder further includes at least one fin extending inwardly from an inside surface of each wall of the holder. The fins are overlapping to secure a sign within the holder. In an alternative embodiment, the holder includes a clip and a rib which hold the sign or label in place.

Abstract: A one piece pusher urges merchandise items towards a front end of a pegboard mounted hook in a merchandise display system. The hook is used for slidably suspending associated merchandise items. The hook includes a back end which can be mounted in a pegboard and a front end having a generally upwardly turned tip for preventing the merchandise items from sliding off the hook. The pusher includes a mounting portion by which the pusher is mounted on the back end of the hook and an elongated portion extending forwardly from the mounting portion. The elongated portion includes a first aperture, a second aperture and a first slit extending between the first and second apertures. The first slit allows the elongated portion of the pusher to be mounted on the hook so that the first and second apertures surround the hook at spaced locations. The pusher further includes a front face of the elongated portion. The front face contacts a rearmost one of the merchandise items to urge it forwardly on the hook.
