Abstract
An extruded or injection molded, resilient resin tag holder comprises a planar member with a pair of parallel flanges projecting transversely from the rear face and a rib projecting from at least one flange toward the other. The flanges are spread apart to snap the rib over and firmly grip the transversely bent end portion of a support rod with the shaft of the rod passing through a notch in the rib. A plurality of notches spaced along the rib provide selective lateral positioning of the tag holder relative to the support rod shaft. The end of the flanges beyond the rib bear against the rod shaft to prevent rotation of the tag holder about the transversely bent end portion of the rod. One embodiment includes a second notched rib spaced from the first by an amount which may be selectively used to accommodate a support rod of larger cross-section. The top and bottom edges of the planar member are bent over the front face to form slots for retaining a tag in the holder with the upturned lower edge also forming a support ledge for a tag scanner.
