Abstract
A label holder for displaying information-containing non-adhesive labels on a C-channel at the front of a merchandise shelf in a supermarket or the like. The label holder may be a co-extrusion of an opaque body panel and a transparent cover resiliently connected along their lower edges to define a label-receiving pocket therebetween or it may simply have opposing U-shaped channels defined by upper and lower lips to receive and retain the label. A pair of upwardly and rearwardly extending leg members are integral with the body panel. One of the leg members underlies and extends behind the lower flange member of the C-channel and the other leg member overlies and extends in front of the lower flange member. The leg members terminate in gripping elements biased toward each other to grippingly engage therebetween the front and rear surfaces of the central portion of the C-channel. An upper lip may be provided on the body panel to engage behind the upper flange member of the C-channel and/or a rearwardly and downwardly depending flexible locking finger may be provided on the overlying leg member to engage behind the lower flange member of the C-channel.
