Abstract
A header for mounting on a upright column or columns of a merchandise display unit, with the header being of generally arcuate configuration, in plan, and having vertically spaced tracks thereon receiving and mounting a removable flexible strip sign or signs, such as for instance a sign having advertising or caption indicia thereon. The tracks are so constructed and arranged that the sign can be expeditiously assembled onto the header by threading the flexible sign through slots and into the tracks for mounting the sign on the header, and also providing for rapid removal or changing of the sign. The header, in certain embodiments, comprises a plurality of generally circular, in plan, sections connected together at predetermined peripheral locations thereof, with each section being adapted for mounting on a respective column of the display unit. The header may be formed of molded plastic upper and lower half portions, which are disposed in stacked back-to-back relation, and attached together, as by gluing, along a generally horizontal juncture plane, to form the complete header.
