Abstract
An advertising display mounting device is provided for attaching promotional displays, dispensers, or other objects to a price channel mounted on the edge of a grocery or other retail store shelf. The advertising display mounting device has first and second clips adapted to mate with the price channel of a grocery or other retail store shelf. The clips are forced into mated relation with the price channel by a locking slide. First clip is provided having a plurality of teeth. Second clip has a slot formed therein for accepting first clip so that first and second clips are oriented parallel to each other and to the price channel. A channel formed in second clip accepts a locking slide, also having one or more teeth for cooperating with the corresponding teeth on first clip. As locking slide is forced into the channel, first and second teeth mesh and move the first clip relative to the second clip to lock the mounting device in the price channel. Attachment is also provided by a spring nested inside a sleeve to limit the degree of extension of the spring and sleeve assembly and to secure the shelftalker or other mounted object to second clip.
