Abstract
A label holder and mounting clip for the mounting and display of electronic labels. A label holder of extruded plastic material snugly receives the enclosure of the electronic label which can be protected by a clear cover extending over the front of the label holder at least slightly spaced from the front of the label. A mounting strip is coextruded with the body of the label holder and is flexibly attached thereto by a co-extruded living hinge. Mounting brackets, of spring metal or the like, are received in pricing channels along the front of display shelving, or are otherwise mounted at the front of the shelving, and include a forwardly displaced, upwardly extending mounting tongue received in a downwardly opening slot in the flexibly attached mounting strip. The angle of display of the label may be controlled by inserting an angle bracket into the downwardly opening slot, alongside the tongue of the mounting clip, oriented so that one leg of the angle bracket extends forward and supports the back of the label holder in an upwardly angled position for a better viewing angle. Several different viewing angles are possible by omitting the angle bracket or employing it alternatively in different orientations.
