A plastic price channel for attachment along the front edge of a merchandise display shelf to carry labelling pertaining to articles on the shelf has a main body panel and a see-through cover joined to the body panel along its bottom edge so that non-adhesive labels can be fitted between the body panel and the cover. The top edge of the cover can be engaged behind a resilient top lip on the body panel to releasably lock the cover in place and a forwardly extending channel-shaped formation is provided along the top edge of the cover in which the top lip is received. The channel-shaped formation has an upwardly extending outer limb forming a gripping element by which the top edge of the cover can be disengaged from behind the top lip by finger pressure exerted downwardly on the gripping element.

A product information display tag for providing product information at the forward end of a horizontal product support hook has a mounting portion for attaching the tag to the rearward end of the hook, an elongate intermediate portion to extend over and along the hook and a label holder at the forward end of the intermediate portion. The mounting portion and intermediate portion are formed together as an integral plastic extrusion with a female grip at the forward end of the intermediate portion to attach the label holder. The label holder is formed as a coextrusion of a label holder panel in a rigid plastic material and a bead along one edge of the panel in a flexible plastic to fit in the grip at the forward end of the intermediate portion. The bead forms a hinge at the front end of the tag enabling the label holding panel to be raised and facilitate removal of articles from the hook.

An installation in a dish washing machine to lower a limp mesh on dishes loaded in each work-basket thereof, such mesh settling on and between the dishes during the rearward travel of the work-basket to stabilize the dishes during the dish washing operation. The installation involves a horizontal looped drive operated by each work-basket and a mesh-supporting conveyor companion to and actuated by the said drive. The mesh is attached at the rear to the conveyor, and with its front end to the work-basket. It is drawn by and over the work-basket on the rearward travel thereof; and the conveyor has an overdrive to advance the mesh with sufficient slack to settle as stated.

An attachment for fishing rods for the slingshot casting of the fishing line. The attachment is clamped to the fishing rod and extends forwardly with pivoted spring arms. When these are swung back to vertical position they become fixed; and the elastic sling extends rearwardly from the same. The arms are also swingable downwardly to lock as props for supporting the fishing rod on the ground or on the deck of a boat.

A mesh adapted to be lowered on a group of dishes contained in a work-basket of a dish washing machine. The mesh is limp and drapes from its weight over and around the dishes to maintain them as deposited and apart from each other. A mechanized application locates the mesh overhead in the dish washing machine, and causes it to be lowered automatically as stated on the insertion of the dish-loaded work-basket into the machine and raised back to the overhead position on the withdrawal of the work-basket.

Dish-stabilizers for dish washing machines

A mesh adapted to be lowered on a group of dishes distributed in the work basket of a dish washing machine. The mesh is composed of crossed strands which are loose and render the mesh limp. The mesh is fitted with a distribution of soft-surfaced weights which depress sections of the mesh to fill spaces between the dishes and drape around them, checking dishes from upsetting or colliding during the dish washing operation.

Dish stabilizers

Upper and lower mesh-units are installed in a dish washing machine above the spaces into which work-baskets containing dishes to be washed are insertible when the door of the machine is open. A mechanism between the door and the mesh units allows them to descend into the work-baskets as the door is closed. The meshes carried by the mesh-units then drape over and between the dishes to hold them apart and against turning during the dish washing operation.
