Abstract
A canopy structure adapted to be disposed over a conventional display gondola and having a universal mounting device attachable to the top marginal edge of the gondola. The canopy includes a header assembly having adjustable panels, a rear panel and a front sign panel. The rear edge of the header is attached to the mounting device and the opposite edge is supported by posts extending upwardly from the bottom shelf of the gondola. The end panels each include a flange attached to a rear edge thereof for connection to one end of a vertically extending stud which is connected at its other end to the universal mounting device. In one embodiment, the stud and the flange both have apertures formed therein and fastening means are utilized to connect the stud to the flange while the stud is connected at its other end to stud bolts extending from the universal mounting device. In another embodiment, the studs are formed as inwardly flanged channel members attached at one end to the flange formed on the end panels. Outwardly extending channel members are attached to the universal mounting device and cooperate with the studs and a stud bolt. In both embodiments, the height of the header assembly can be adjusted by the positioning of the studs with respect to the universal mounting device.
