Abstract: An apparatus for displaying and dispensing disposable rain protection devices comprising a sign holder and a bracket member on the sign holder, the bracket member configured to hold disposable rain protection devices when the bracket member is mounted on a wall. The bracket member comprises a pair of hooks. A support portion of each hook extends from the sign holder. A suspension portion of each hook is positioned to extend outward from the wall and the sign holder when the device is mounted on the wall to thereby permit the suspension portion to hold the disposable rain protection devices for display and dispensing. The bracket member further comprises an elongated bar, the elongated bar fixedly positioned substantially along a lower edge of the sign holder, and an upper end the support portions of the hooks fixedly positioned on either end of the elongated bar.

Abstract: A consumable business card holder provides a container for the presentation and consumption of an edible card or removable non-consumable card. The usefulness of the consumable business card holder provides a unique, effective method of presenting a business image for marketing, advertising and promotional purposes. The invention is comprised of a recessed center area to secure the card, raised outer rim for preventing damage to said icing border to allow stackability in packaging. Size substantially corresponds to, but larger than said card.

Abstract: A beam for supporting an load such as a storage rack, platform or the like is provided whereby products in or on the article can be stored safely and displayed. In particular, the present invention includes a beam with a support element having a first and a second end, a continuous base portion having a turned portion positioned between the first and second ends of the support element, a beveled display portion joined to the continuous base portion, and a brace portion joining the display portion to the support element. The beam preferably has a closed cross section whereby all portions unitary with one another. An article such as a storage rack platform is loaded onto the support element while a bar code or other product information indicia are displayed on the beveled portion.

Abstract: A sign holder assembly for holding signs for displaying prices and other information on merchandise display racks, shelves and peg hooks includes a base, a support member and a holder body for selectively accommodating a sign. The holder body is pivotable in relation to the base via a hinge located in the support member. In one embodiment, the base includes a resilient fastener and, spaced therefrom, a finger which are both secured to the bottom surface of the base. The resilient fastener and the finger engage a wall surface adjacent a respective hole in a display rack or shelf. In another embodiment, the base can be mounted on a peg hook. The holder body can include a bottom wall, a pair of side walls and a top wall which together define a frame-like element. These walls cooperate to form a socket allowing a sign to be selectively secured within the holder body.

Abstract: A flat, substantially transparent lens lying in a flat plane retains a designation card within a recess in a surface. The lens is made of flexible sheet plastic with means at either end for securing the lens in the recess. At one end, a tab is integral with the lens and has an attachment end which joins the lens. The tab extends away from the plane of the lens to a geniculation spaced from the lens plane. At the geniculation, the tab reverses direction and extends toward the lens plane to return generally to that plane, where it terminates in a finger grip.

Abstract: A merchandise display guard and seal system which uses a generally flat elongated flexible strip having a thickness and a pair of side edges defining a width, the width being substantially larger than the thickness. The strip includes a first fold line which is substantially parallel to one of the side edges and which provides a flexible section for dividing the strip into a sidewall section and a seal section; and a scored section, the scored section being at an angle to the first fold line and extending from one of the side edges, along the seal section towards the fold line, so that folding the strip along the first fold line and severing the scored section provides flexibility to the sidewall section, so that upon folding the sidewall section towards the seal section the sidewall section forms a concave boundary about the seal section.

Abstract: An apparatus for grouping electronic price labels (EPLs) to form an electronic sign. The apparatus primarily includes a frame member which defines a plurality of bays arranged in a single line for containing the EPLs. The apparatus additionally includes a product description sheet mounted to the frame member including apertures for exposing displays within the EPLs. Optionally included are a product description sheet holder which mounts to the frame member for retaining the product description sheet against the frame member and a base for supporting the frame member on a flat surface. A method of grouping EPLs includes the steps of providing a frame member defining a plurality of bays arranged in a line for containing the EPLs, retaining the EPLs within the bays, placing a product description sheet adjacent to the frame member, and orienting apertures in the product description sheet to expose displays within the EPLs.

Abstract: An apparatus for grouping electronic price labels (EPLs) which facilitates installation of electronic price labels in signs and promotional displays rather than standard shelf edges. The apparatus primarily includes a frame member for mounting the EPLs including a plurality of bays arranged in a plurality of rows and columns. The apparatus additionally includes a product description sheet mounted to the frame member including apertures for exposing displays within the EPLs. Optionally included are a product description sheet holder which mounts to the frame member for retaining the product description sheet against the front surface and a base for supporting the frame member on a flat surface.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a recyclable molded exterior cover made of plastic with a plate holder at a back side of the cover. The exterior cover is mounted on the apparatus so as to swing between open and close positions. The exterior cover and the plate holder, which holds an information plate, are integrally molded.

Abstract: Novel point-of-purchase cantilevered deflectable display assemblies, which normally extend transversely into a shopping aisle. Display assemblies which accommodate substitution of one frame-carried form or configuration of advertising for another, which can be radically different, without disconnecting the entire display assembly from its mounting to a molding at a store shelf or like. The advertising frame with which the advertising medium is associated is removably connected to a hanger portion. The hanger portion accommodates the above-mentioned on-site frame and advertisement removal and exchange while the remainder of the display assembly remains in its shelf-mounted or like position. Display assemblies are disclosed which enhance the deflectable nature of the cantilevered distal part of the display assemblies, the manner in which pivoting occurs and is controlled or limited and the way in which the display assemblies are biased toward neutral in the assembled condition.

Abstract: A target carrier for a shooting range. The target carrier includes a two-prong target hook wherein the shaft and prong arms are formed, detachable segments to facilitate replacement of a segment damaged by a bullet.

Abstract: A product identification and information tag of sheet material for overlying an elongated support hook, wherein the mounting portion of the tag is frictionally engaged over projections on a saddle member carried by the hook itself. The length of the tag can be readily adjusted without the need for extraneous tools such as scissors or the like. The mounting portion of the tag is provided with a series of longitudinally spaced mounting apertures with alternating fold and tear lines spaced midway between adjacent apertures whereby the mounting portion may be folded onto itself to align adjacent apertures, transversely tom, or even transversely tom and then folded on itself to provide the tag with different effective lengths.
