LABEL HOLDER.
Application led June 26, 1924. Serial No. 722,529.
This invention relates to label holding means and more especially to means for holding labels interchangeably on display shelves, storage bins and the like, as for marking the price or the kind of goods' re-v ferred to.
The main objects of the invention are to provide an improved form of label holder of the character referred to; to provide such a holder in strip form, adapted for cutting to fit in any desired lengths, suitable for attaching to shelf fronts or other receptacles adapted for the application of such strips; to provide wooden moldings of channel shape adapted for ready insertion and removal of labels, to answer this purpose and capable of holding the labels secure y under usual conditions, as in stores, warehouses and the like; to provide such a channel shaped holder adapted to accommodate readily snapping resilient labels, long or short, of suitable width into place between the groove or channel flanges, so as to be held preferably bowed with their faces disposed concavely; and to provide a shelf or bin having secured to its front edge a holder such as herein referred to for receiving and securing a label or a plurality of labels substantially upriglitly and interchangeably.
An illustrative embodiment of this invention is shown by the accompanying drawin which Fig. 1 is a front view of a label holder having a pair of interchangeable labels mounted therein.
Fig. 2 is a greatly enlarged section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1 with the lower edgeof the label in place, the upper edge beingready for snapping back into position.
Fig. 3 is similar to Fig. 2 except that the label is fully in place.
Fig. 4 is an endwise sectional view of a vertical series of shelves much reduced in scale, each with a molding strip on its front edge similar to those shown in. Figs. 1 and 3.
Fig. 5 is a front View similar to Fig. 1, on a smaller scale, showing how small labels may be attached adhesively to a mainbacking strip adapted f or use as shown in the figures above described.
Fig. 6 is an enlarged cross section on the line 6-6 of Fig. 5.
Fig. 7 shows a slightly modified form of holder in which the back of the label holding channel is flat instead of curved..
Fig. 8 illustrates how a molding, such as shown by the foregoing views, may be attached to a storage bin.
Fig. 9 is an end view of a metal shelf with its front edge part molded to lhold labelsand with its back part broken away.
Fig. lO shows a wooden shelf with a label holding groove molded in its front edge. In the construction shown by Figs. 1 to 4 inclusive, the label holder consists of a strip of wood molding 1, in the face of which the label'2 is set, as will be described. Said molding is secured to the straight front edge of a shelf 3 by means of a fastener, as for instance a nail 4. The front face of the molding 1 is channel shaped as shown at 5. The upper and lower shoulder walls' of the channel groove are divergent inwardly so as to hold the label 2 positively when snapped into place.
Referring to Figs. 5 and 6, the same kind of inoldin'g 1 contains a pair of desi ation strips 7 and 7, one of which is re atively long. These strips are secured substantially as shown in Figs. 2 and 3 and each is provided with one or more small labels 8, secured thereto preferably adhesively. The markers 8 may well be made inthe form of stickers. Fig. 6 shows how the molding may be held by screws 9.
A slightly modified formof molding 10 is shown in Fig. 7 wherein the bottom of the channel groove 11 is formed flat instead of concave. This at bottom is flanked on the upper and lower edges by inclined shoulders 12 which diverge inwardly substantially as shown in Fig. 2 for holding the label 2 in place.
Fig. 8 shows a bin 13, the front Wall 14 of which at and adjacent to its upper edge is rectilinear and provided with a label holder 15, in which the label strip 16 is held substantially as shown in Fig. 7.
Fig. 9 illustrates how a metal shelf 17, the rear part of which is shown broken away, may have its front edge part turned downward at 18 and molded to form a flange 19 with a groove 20 flanked by shoulders 21 and 22 to hold a label as above described. The shoulder adjacent to the bend 18 may be struck up by running a sharp edged disk forcibly against the flange face in an inclined position sloping downwardly away from the work.
The wooden shelf 23, an end View of which is shown in Fig. 10, has a groove 24 formed directly in its front ed e, shoulders 25 and 26 being provided as in place the lower edge in the molding against the lower shoulder, then by pressing inwardl the upper edge is sna ped into place and tlie label is held secure substantially as shown in Figs. 3 and 7.
In order to `remove the label, one may reach behind it either near the upper edge, as in Fig. 3, or near the middle, as in Fig. 7, either with a lead pencil, knife blade or finger nail and thereby readily spring it forward and out of its engagement with the shoulder groove and render it free for revMoldings such as herein described are especially advantageous by reason of low cost and simplicity of structure and operation, as for use in stores and warehouses.
` The labels, preferably lin the form of resilient cards, may be used for a`wide range of purposes, including for instance, the names of goods, the quantities thereof and prices. These labels being readily interchangeable, it' is easy to substitute labels ig. 2 to hold labels. The method of inserting the label is to first' from time to time to conform Withchang.-`
ing prices and the shifting of goods, both as -to kind and quantity.
Although only a certain few` specific em- 3o bodiments of this invention have been selected to illustrate my improvements herein i set forth it is to be understood that some of the details of the constructionsshown may be altered or omitted without departing from the spirit of this invention as dened by the following claims.
I cla-im 1. A channel. grooved member in combination with an interchangeable designation 240 strip held between the side shoulders of the, groove, said strip having a plurality "of stickers thereon adapted to serve as labels.
