1 Claim.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in price tag holders and the primary object of the present invention is to provide a supporting strip for price tags including novel and imprgyed means for retaining price tags in position'to the strip without slipping movements.
Another important object of the present invention is to provide a price tag holder that is quickly and readily applied to a shelf to conveniently engage a plurality of tags that will indicate the cost of the article adjacent the same.
A further object of the present invention is the provision of a tag supporting strip so designed as to permit price tags to be inserted into the same to remain in their originally predetermined position.
A still further aim of the present invention is to provide a non-slipping shelf price tag moulding that is simple and practical in construction, strong and reliable in use, neat and attractive in appearance, relatively inexpensive to manufacture, and otherwise well adapted for the purposes for which the same is intended.
Other objects and advantages reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
Figure 1 is a fragmentary perspective view of a store shelf showing the present strip applied thereto in use;
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the present price tag holding strip, and with parts thereof broken away and shown in section;
Figure 3 is an enlarged transverse vertical sectional view taken substantially on the plane of section line 3-3 of Figure 2;
Figure 4 is a perspective view of the supporting strip in slightly modified form; and,
Figure 5 is an enlarged end view of Figure 4.
Referring now to the drawing in detail, and more particularly to Figures 1, 2 and 3, wherein for the purpose of illustration, there is disclosed a preferred embodiment of the [present invention, the numeral l0 represents an elongated strip of suitable material having its longitudinal side edges [2 bent inwardly to provide opposed arcuate, cooperative, flanges l4 that engage the opposite edges of a suitable price tag l6.
Adjacent both sides of the longitudinal center of the strip l0, there is provided a pair of spaced parallel, longitudinal detents or protuberances [8 that form coplaner bearing surfaces 20 and 22 against which the inner face of the price tag it bears so that the price tag will be arcuately disposed in a manner whereby the same may be conveniently observed.
Fixedly secured, by glue or the like, to the inner periphery of the flanges l4 and the adjacent portions of the strip 10, is a pair of substantially U-shaped opposing strips of abrasive material 24 such as emery dust, sand paper or the like, that will furnish a roughened surface that frictionally engages the opposite edges of the tag [6, to prevent longitudinal movement of the tag relative to the strip. By use of such a strip, the price tags will always be adjacent to the article 26 on the shelf 28 to which the strip is suitably secured.
Reference is now directed to Figures 4 and 5, wherein there is disclosed the present tag supporting strip in slightly modified form. In this embodiment, all parts are similar to the described article as referred to in Figures 1-3 inclusive, however, a plurality of longitudinally spaced, transverse grooves or channels 30 are provided in the inner surfaces of the strips 24 that are secured to the inner surfaces of the flanges I 4 and the adjacent surfaces of the strip ID, to further provide means for assuring the positive positioning of the price tag in the strip.
In view of the foregoing description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings it is believed that a clear understanding of the construction, operation and advantages of the device will be quite apparent to those skilled in this art. A more detailed description is accordingly deemed unnecessary.
It is to be understood, however, that even though there is herein shown and described a preferred embodiment of the invention the same is susceptible to certain changes fully comprehended by the spirit of the invention as herein described and the scope of the appended claim.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
A non-slipping shelf price tag molding comprising an elongated strip of bendable material having its longitudinal edges turned inwardly to provide substantially V-shaped retaining channels, spaced parallel longitudinally extending bearing ribs pressed outwardly from said strip adjacent the retaining channels, and abrasive strips secured to the inner walls of the retaining channels for contacting both faces of a price tag inserted in said channels, said abrasive strips having a plurality of longitudinally spaced transverse grooves.
FRANK J. GERBES.
