  • Patent number: 7114277
    Abstract: Provided is a sign holder for mounting to and displaying from a shelf any of various planar signs. The sign holder includes a clamp having two pivotally-connected panels that can be placed into a clamping position to hold the planar sign. To hold the panels in the clamping position, the first panel includes a holding prong that can be received in a corresponding aperture of the second panel. To prevent the planar sign from slipping between the panels, the second panel includes a piercing prong that can pierce the planar sign and be received in a corresponding aperture of the first panel. So that the planar material does not interfere with the engagement between the holding prong and its corresponding aperture, the piercing prong can be spaced-apart from the pivotally-connected edges of the panels a greater distance than the holding prong is. Various mounting structures can be included.

  • Patent number: 4974355
    Abstract: A sign made of relatively heavy paper, cardboard, plastic or the like is adapted for convenient mounting on the interior rear view mirror support of automotive vehicles. The sign is positioned between the mirror and the rear surface of the front windshield and includes an integral hook which is bent rearwardly out of the plane of the sign to engage a mirror support of the type which projects roughly parallel to the windshield. For the type of mirror support which is adhesively connected to the rear surface of the windshield and projects roughly rearwardly thereof, the hook is bent rearwardly and downwardly, exposing a hook-shaped opening through which the mirror support is extended. Access into the opening is permitted by means of a slit extending from the opening to the peripheral edge of the hanger sign. A bending score is directed horizontally across the sign for use in bending the sign, if desired, when minimal clearance is provided between the rear surface of the windshield and the back of the mirror.
