Abstract
A label holder for mounting on a shelf channel having an intermediate portion with front and rear surfaces and upper and lower forwardly-projecting flanges, has front and back panels and a shelf channel clip extending from the back panel. A base portion of the shelf channel clip extends from a middle point of the back panel. A shelf channel lower flange-engaging projection extends rearwardly from a rear surface of a lower flange-engaging portion and contacts an upper surface of the lower flange of the shelf channel, and is sized and shaped to limit downward movement of the label holder with respect to the shelf channel. A shelf channel rear surface-engaging portion contacts the rear surface of the intermediate portion of the shelf channel at a point between the upper and lower flanges of the shelf channel. A forwardly-facing C-shaped portion of the shelf channel rear surface-engaging portion has an opening facing the rear surface of the intermediate portion of the shelf channel. A guide flange extends rearwardly from an upper end of the C-shaped portion, and forms a converging entry gap with the lower flange-engaging portion. An upper end of the front panel of the label holder is displaceable forwardly from the back panel upon the application of rearward pressure on a lower portion of the label holder to facilitate the insertion and removal of an information label. The shelf channel clip is resiliently deformable to accommodate and mount to shelf channels of various configurations.
