Abstract
A mounting system for mounting a sign, such as a sheet or a panel to a generally horizontal shelf includes a display portion including an arm forming a portion of and defining a sign receiving region. The display portion includes a display hinge portion defining an axis of rotation. The display portion further includes a detent spaced from the axis of rotation, defining a radially distal-most portion. A shelf mounting bracket mounts the display portion to the shelf. The shelf mounting bracket includes a pivoting element cooperating with the display hinge portion for pivotally mounting the display portion to the shelf mounting bracket. The display portion is pivotal between a first position and a second position. The shelf mounting bracket includes a flexible tongue configured to engage the detent to maintain the display portion in the first or second position and to disengage from the detent to move the display portion to the other of the first or second position.
