Abstract

A shelf display clip for mounting display and/or informational literature and material is adapted to be secured to an elongate channel extrusion such as the type which is commonly provided on a stock shelf in a grocery store for retention of computer price cards and numerals. The display clip includes a main clip element having a center body portion and at least two radiating legs, each leg having integrally formed at the outer end thereof a wedge foot and being resiliently deflectable for insertion into a channel defined by opposed parallel lips on the front face of such channel extrusion with the feet being urged by the resilience of the legs into tight engagement with at least one of the lips firmly to hold the display clip to the extrusion. A male fastener element such as a dart or button fastener is receivable with a lock or friction fit in a forwardly opening bore in the center portion and/or an offset portion of the display clip for securing the display and/or informational material or a container for such material to the main clip element either with a perpendicular or flush mount.
