Abstract
A flag and label holder assembly for holding signs or labels for displaying prices and other information on merchandise display racks and shelves. The flag and label holder includes a base, a support member and a holder for selectively accommodating a sign. The support member can be pivotable in relation to the base via a hinge. The support member further includes a rib extending from the support member and positioned between a pair of L-shaped walls. The rib engages the holder. The base further includes a hook and, spaced therefrom, a finger which are both secured to the bottom surface of the base. The hook and finger engage a wall surface adjacent a respective hole in a display rack or shelf. The holder further includes at least one fin extending inwardly from an inside surface of each wall of the holder. The fins are overlapping to secure a sign within the holder. In an alternative embodiment, the holder includes a clip and a rib which hold the sign or label in place. In a third embodiment, the clip is defined by a pair of spaced legs which form a slot to receive the sign or label.
