BACKGROU?TT~ OF TH~ INVENTI~N
The invention relates to price rh~nnF.lc of the kind which are attached along the front of a product-display shelf, such as in . and the like, to carry labels or signs inhicative Or products on the shelf. Price r hAnnr l c of this nature are commonly plastic extrusions and may either clip onto the front of a 6helf, or may have an adhesive back to be secured directly against the front edge of a shelf ~he present invention is particularly ~..",.,.,"r~l with the latter kind of price channel in which problems may occur if a price channel is not mounted accurately in pr~citinn along the front of a shelf.
For example, a price channel might be mounted so that part or all of the top edge portion of the price channel projects above the shelf. ~Then removing articles from the shelf, it is then pnc,~sih~
to bump and r~iq~or~e the price channel. similarly, if the price channel is too low it can bQ dislodged by contact with articles being removed from a shelf below. Further, mounting the known adhesive--backed price channels may be time r~nnc~lmi nq iS
accurate p~ itir~ninrJ and levelling is to be achieved. IS such positioning and levelling is not achieved, either of the above problems may result or the price cbannel may simply be mounted in an Ar~CIhr~ A~1Y llnrlr~AcAnt position.
It is an obj ect of the prent invention to provide an ~dhesive-backed price channel which, inter ~li3~, obviates the above problems .
