Definitions

  • this patent describes an improved label-holder, of the type used on shelving at commercial establishments and warehouses to support and protect the labels that indicate the prices, features, etc. of the products placed on the shelves, characterized in that it has separate and independent anchors for fastening to the shelves and for determining the angle at which the label is positioned, and a double plate with a transparent front to house the label, with independent movement of the two anchors mentioned above.
  • label-holders can be of various types: some bulky and rigid that anchor to the dovetail on the shelving and entail the major problem that, given their structural rigidity, there is a high probability that, with any accidental contact or friction with the merchandise stored on the shelves when that merchandise is deposited or removed, the label-holder will come off the shelf, with the resulting possibility that it will break, because these label-holder configurations are quite long.
  • the front of this type of label-holder where the paper label is fastened can only tilt at a single angle, which adds the further problem that when the labels have to tilt at different angles, for example, in order to compensate for the different heights of the shelves and thus make it easier for the customer or user to read them, label-holders have to be manufactured with different angles in the front, with the resulting increase in cost because different models are needed.
  • the international patent application WO 93/19448 A1 discloses a label holder consisting of three parts, a shelf anchor, a position anchor and a visor.
  • the position anchor and the visor are connected to the shelf anchor by flexible areas allowing swinging movement.
  • the visor and the shelf anchor are joined by the position anchor.
  • the angle position of the visor is depending on the connection between the position anchor and the visor and can only be set jointly.
  • This label holder may be provided with mutually coacting hooked members which firmly lock one another.
  • the improved label-holder configuration covered by this invention is defined by claim 1 and has been designed to solve the difficulties that currently exist with regard to problem of fastening informative labels to shelving. It is intended for use in shelving equipped with a dovetail edge, such as in the above cases, and consists of a single piece of variable length in which there are three clearly differentiated parts:
  • the back part allows firm and secure anchoring to shelving equipped with a dovetail anchor, while the position anchor makes it possible to safely select the tilt of the middle part from the vertical up to angles of approximately 45° by selectively interlocking it in different positions.
  • the visor, or front part rests on the front of the position anchor by gravity, thus assuming approximately the same tilt angle as the front of the position anchor, but still moving freely both with regard to the position anchor and the shelf anchor.
  • the improved label-holder described here provides several advantages over the systems that are currently available due to the fact that the three component parts have movement between them provided by their flexible connections.
  • the back part allows firm and secure anchoring to shelving equipped with a dovetail anchor, while the middle part makes it possible to select the tilt angle of the front visor that, in turn, has independent movement from the above two parts.
  • Another significant advantage is that, because the visor has independent movement, even if it is accidentally struck or shifted by the materials stored on the shelving or by the users, this does not affect either the preset angle or the shelf anchor, thus avoiding the breakage or frequent alterations inherent to other configurations.
  • the position anchor makes it possible to quickly and safely set the assigned position for the visor from among the various possible angles by quick interlocking of the end of the visor into the points provided for that purpose. This position can be easily changed at any time by simply varying the anchoring point.
  • Another advantage of this invention is that personnel can place or change the identifying labels quickly because the visor has independent movement from the other parts and can be handled comfortably, since the preset angle for the visor is not altered. When the visor is released, it always automatically returns to its resting position on the position anchor, which, in turn, is independent of the shelf anchor. This means that any operation can be done with label-holder without the need to either release it or to readjust or change the tilt angle.
  • Another added advantage is that combining all the necessary functions into one configuration greatly reduces the need to manufacture and store different types of label-holders, thus allowing serial manufacturing in much greater numbers, with the resulting greater cost-effectiveness of the manufacturing process.
  • Fig. 1 shows an improved label-holder with a flat visor in vertical position.
  • the improved label- holder 100 covered by this invention basically consists of a single piece of variable length, preferably made of thermoplastic materials, in which there are three clearly differentiated parts:
