Definitions

  • the invention relates to a system for the mounting of information-carrying labels and/or electronic information carriers on the front of a shelf, which, on the one hand, comprises at least one profiled strip which is provided to be mounted on the front of the shelf and, on the other hand, is provided with at least one connecting part for releasably mounting one or more holders for said information-carrying labels and/or electronic information carriers onto the profiled strip.
  • various systems are known for attaching information-carrying labels and/or electronic information carriers to the front of such a shelf.
  • the most common system consists substantially of two parts, wherein a first part consists of a profiled strip which is mounted on the front of the shelf and a second part which consists of the holder for the information-carrying labels and/or electronic information carriers, which is optionally fixedly connected to the profiled strip.
  • a system for arranging holders for information-carrying labels in optional positions along the front of a shelf and the like.
  • This system comprises a supporting profiled strip having a mounting part which is modified so that the profiled strip can be mounted on the front of a shelf, and furthermore comprises a part which serves as fixing part for releasably fixing label holders to the supporting profiled strip.
  • This system is characterized by the combination of the fact that the supporting profiled strip extends along the entire length of the shelf, or a part thereof, and has a height which is substantially equal to the height of the front of the shelf, and that the label holders consist of short label holder pockets which have a greater height than the supporting profiled strip.
  • a holder for securely holding strip-shaped information carriers, integrally formed and comprising a mounting to which a holder part is connected which houses the information carriers.
  • the holder is specifically intended for grocery stores and department stores.
  • the holder part is hingedly connected to the mounting, so that this holder part can be moved from a lower position, wherein the information facing an individual can be read, to a higher position, wherein the information which is on the back of this holder part can be read.
  • the holder is provided in such a manner that when it is moved into its top position, it can remain there until it is returned to its bottom position.
  • a card holder extrusion which is mounted on a conventional card holder provided at the front of a shelf.
  • One or more cards which are provided with a hook-shaped tongue comprising a couple of parallel longitudinal edges are releasably mounted on the conventional card holder.
  • This card holder extrusion contains a substantially flat body comprising a front, a side and parallel top and bottom edges in the longitudinal direction. The flat body is attached to the conventional card holder.
  • a card is releasably mounted in the card holder extrusion.
  • a card holder assembly in this case consists of the combination of a card holder extrusion and at least one card.
  • a holder for labels comprising two separately formed sections, wherein one section forms an attachment part which can be attached to a shelf, and the other part forms a support for the label, which can be combined with the mounting by means of a connecting part.
  • a label pocket is formed over the entire length of one of the sections, this label pocket having a non-retuming flange with a blade which extends over the length of the other section.
  • This blade is provided to be inserted into the label pocket by pressure and has a counter form which can counteract the non-retuming flange in order to prevent frontal extraction of the blade after having been introduced into the label pocket by pressure.
  • the disadvantage of the above-described systems is that the information-carrying labels and/or electronic information carriers have to be rotated individually with respect to the shelf and, moreover, can only be arranged in one viewing direction. Especially at locations where these information-carrying labels and/or electronic information carriers are attached to shelves above eye level, the readability thereof is limited.
  • This object of the invention is achieved by providing a system for the mounting of information-carrying labels and/or electronic information carriers on the front of a shelf, comprising at least one profiled strip which is provided to be mounted on the front of the shelf, and which is furthermore provided with at least one connecting part for releasably mounting one or more holders to the profiled strip for said information-carrying labels and/or electronic information carriers, wherein the system comprises at least one intermediate profile which is provided, on the one hand, to be mounted releasably to said connecting part, and which is provided, on the other hand, to attach said one or more holders releasably to this intermediate profile, and wherein the intermediate profile can be mounted on the connecting part at two or more angles.
  • one or more different holders of information-carrying labels and/or electronic information carriers can be rotated simultaneously in a single operation and, in addition, can also be placed at such an angle that they are directed in the viewing direction of an upright individual.
  • the holder can then be directed upwards on a shelf at the bottom of a rack, while a holder on a shelf at the top of a rack can be directed downwards. In this manner, the holder can thus be positioned at various viewing angles with respect to the shelf.
  • At least part of the outside of the connecting part is provided with at least two grooves extending in the longitudinal direction of the connecting part, and the inside of the intermediate profile is provided with two grooves extending in the longitudinal direction of the intermediate profile, in order to be able to mount the intermediate profile to the connecting part at two or more angles.
  • the entire outside of the connecting part is provided with grooves extending in the longitudinal direction of the connecting part.
  • said grooves extending in the longitudinal direction of the connecting part and the intermediate profile have a depth which is such that the intermediate profile can be moved over the connecting part in a direction at right angles to the direction of the grooves by means of a rotating movement.
  • At least part of the outside of the connecting part is provided to be substantially round, and at least part of the inside of the intermediate profile has a corresponding substantially round shape.
  • the entire outside of the connecting part is of a substantially round design.
  • the outside of the intermediate profile has a polygonal shape and the holder is provided with a clamping part with an inner side which has a corresponding polygonal shape in order to be able to securely clamp the intermediate profile into the clamping part of the holder.
  • the holders of the information-carrying labels and/or electronic information carriers are provided with a space into which an anti-theft securing rod can be introduced for releasably connecting various holders which have been arranged on the profiled strip.
