Definitions

  • the shelves are normally provided along their front edge with a molding either in the form of a metal or plastic guide having a cross section in front of a "C” or having a “U”-shaped cross section, so as to constitute a “pocket” with at least the front leg or portion of the "U" transparent.
  • Price tags indicating the price of the products may be slidably inserted in the "C” guide or in the "pocket-like" transparent molding and placed in correspondence of the articles disposed on the shelf.
  • Price tags or other selling message cards that may be displayed in this manner may have a maximum height that cannot be larger than the "thickness" of the shelf (or of the height of the front molding of the shelf). In other words, the tags cannot significantly stick up or down of the plane of the shelf.
  • Another requirement of remarkable economical importance is that of offering for sale (dispos on the shelves) a variety as large as possible of products per unit of exposition area of the shop.
  • Such a requirement implies the necessity of fully exploiting the available space for exposition, by adjusting the height of separation among shelves so as to make the most of the available area.
  • the distance between shelves is often the minimum that is just sufficient for storing the articles on the plane of the lower shelf, so as to fully exploit the useful height of rack shelves.
  • Any price tag holder or promotional message card that has a size larger than the height of the shelf's molding would interfere with the picking-up of the products from the shelf laying underneath and which often have a height which is substantially equal to the separation between the shelves or are stacked up to fill up completely the space between two shelves.
  • the present invention provides an effective solution to the problem by using a special clip that may be slidably and removably hooked to or snapped on a standard price tag holding, shelf's molding, whether the latter has a "C" or a "U” (pocket-like) cross section.
  • the clip object of the present invention has a pivotally mounted arm that is free to oscillate and that may support a price tag or a promotional card holder, which desirably may have a sufficiently large size (i.e. a height much larger than the thickness of the shelf) and which therefore would interfere with the picking-up of articles from the shelf below.
  • the ability of the price tag or promotional card holder that is fastened to the pivotal arm of the clip, to oscillate freely, allows extraction of articles, though interfering with the card or price tag, without any problem. Even if during extraction of an article the price tag or promotional card holder is compliantly raised, it freely falls back in position after having interferingly picked up an article from the shelf below.
  • the clip of the invention may usefully be provided with a front seat or guide having a "C" profile, capable of receiving a second clip of a so-called slot-type, suitable for displaying "flag-mounted promotional cards.
  • a shelf of a rack-shelf structure for storing articles for sales is provided with a "pocket-type” molding M (having a "U” profile), at least the front portion of which is made of transparent material.
  • the molding is permanently fixed along the front edge of the shelf.
  • the "U" profile of the molding M permits to insert therein price tags (usually printed by a computer) for indicating the price of articles arranged on the plane of the shelf.
  • the clip object of the present invention is composed of a anchoring body 1, provided on a back side thereof of a hook shaped part 2, capable of being inserted into the "U" cross section molding of the shelf.
  • a projection 3 which may be provided of one or preferably as shown of two crests or ridges 3a and 3b, at different "levels” among each other, and corresponding to one and to another standard height of moldings M as commonly used for shop shelves.
  • either the crest 3a or the crest 3b of the projection 3 of the body of the clip of the invention may be forced to pass over the lower edge of the molding, thus completing a snap-on assemblying of the body 1 of the clip onto the molding M of the shelf.
  • the body 1 of the clip after having been mounted with said snap-on action on the molding M, may be slided along the molding itself for positioning it according to need in correspondence of products to be specially marked and which may be arranged on a shelf (not shown in the figures) directly under the shelf onto the front edge of which the clip is mounted.
  • the clip body 1 On a front face thereof, the clip body 1 is provided with a seat 4 suitable to pivotally hold substantially horizontally and a pin 6 of an oscillating arm 5 capable to support a price tag or a promotion card holder or alike.
  • the price tag or promotional card holder (not shown in the figure), may extend well below the bottom face of the shelf and therefore may interfere with the storing space below the shelf itself, where normally articles to be "marked” by the price tag or card holder will be stocked.
  • the oscillating arm 5 of the clip may take any suitable form. It may be provided for example with a hole or with a spring-clip for fastening a card or price tag or of any other equivalent fastening device.
  • the oscillating sustaining arm 5 terminates with a tail portion 5a, which is shaped so as to snap-into a slot purposely shaped to receive the tail end 5a, which may be present on the rear face of a price tag or promotional card holder frame.
  • the front face of the body 1 of the clip of the invention may have a "C" shaped profile, as defined by the two projections 7 and 8. This increases the utility of the clip of the invention.
  • the pin 6 of the oscillating arm 5 may be forcibly extracted from the supporting seat 4 of the clip and, on the body 1 of the clip which may be mounted with a snap-on action on a "pocket-type" molding M of a shop shelf (Fig. 1), a slot-type clip 9 of a known type, may be mounted on the body 1 of the clip.
  • the clip 1 of the invention once has been freed of the oscillating arm 5, virtually provides a "C" guide for hooking therein a slot-type clip of standard type in shop shelves having a price tag molding of the pocket-type (i.e. having a "U" cross section), which would not be suitable for receiving a standard slot-type clip.
  • the pin 6 may be solidly part of the oscillating arm 5 or may be rotatably mounted into a fork-shaped extremity of the arm 5.
  • the clip of the invention may also be made in an alternative form, suitably to be used on price tag molding having a "C" cross section. This alternative embodiment is depicted in Fig. 4.
  • the shelf is provided with a molding M1 having substantially a "C” shaped cross section, into which printed price tags may be flexibly inserted.
  • the clip of the invention comprises a body 12 provided with two wings 13 and 14, that are capable of being flexed and inserted into the "C" guide, constituted by the molding M of the front edge of the shelf.
  • the clip is provided with a seat 4 capable of sustaining the pin 6 of a oscillating arm 5, capable of sustaining a price tag or promotional card holder or similar object.
  • the price tag or promotional card holder (not shown in figure) may extend below the level of the shelf onto which the clip is mounted and therefore may interfere with the access to the storing space below the shelf wherein normally articles to be marked by the price tag or by the promotional card will be stored. Also in this case, the price tag or promotional card will be free to be rotatably raised what necessary for completing the picking up of the article from the space below the shelf, being sustained by the oscillating arm 5 of the clip.
  • the clip object of the invention offers the advantage of adapting itself to retrofit existing price tag molding of shop shelves, thus permitting a combined use of the two systems of visual communication.
  • the clips may in fact be used for "marking" certain products, and/or for displaying promotional messages, moreover, in case of pocket-type price tag moldings, the clip of the invention usefully provides a slidable support onto which a standard slot-type clip for "flag-mounted" cards may be mounted.
