Claims
- 1. A display system comprising:a generally planar support body including a first surface defining a groove and a second surface; a mounting member extending from the first surface of the support body, the mounting member selectively engaging an associated fixture; a display member selectively connectable with the support body, the display member including: a generally planar portion, a flange extending from a side of the generally planar portion, said flange selectively slidably engaging said groove when said display member is connected with the support body, and a hinge portion which allows the display member to pivot in relation to the support body when a force is applied to the display member.
- 2. The display system of claim 1, wherein the mounting member includes spaced fingers extending away from the support body for engaging suitably shaped and positioned openings in the associated fixture.
- 3. A display system comprising:a generally planar support body, the support body including a front surface and a rear surface; a mounting member extending from the rear surface of the support body, the mounting member selectively engaging an associated fixture; a display member selectively connectable with the support body and having opposed planar surfaces, a hinge extending from a first of the opposed planar surfaces; a projection extending from the front surface of the support body, which frictionally engages the other of the opposed planar surfaces of the display member when the display member is received on the support member.
- 4. The display system of claim 3, wherein the display member in includes a planar portion and two flanges, which extend from the planar portion, the flanges cooperating with the planar portion to grip the support body therebetween.
- 5. A display system comprising:a generally planar support body; a mounting member extending from a first surface of the support body, the mounting member selectively engaging an associated fixture; a shelf extending from a second surface of the support body; a display member selectively connectable with the support body, the display member including an engagement portion including a flange for selectively engaging the planar support body, a hinge portion, connected therewith, and a sign holding portion connected with the hinge portion for selectively holding an associated sign, the hinge portion flexing, relative to the engagement portion, when a force is applied to the display member, said shelf contacting a generally planar portion of the associated display member when the display member is received on the support member, the generally planar portion of the display member being connected with the flange.
- 6. A display system comprising:a generally planar support body including a projection extending from a surface thereof; a mounting member extending from a surface of the support body, the mounting member selectively engaging an associated fixture; a display member selectively connectable with the support body, the display member including an engagement portion including a flange for selectively engaging the planar support body, a planar portion, a hinge portion, connected therewith, and a sign holding portion connected with the hinge portion for selectively holding an associated sign, the hinge portion flexing, relative to the engagement portion, when a force is applied to the display member, the projection engaging the planar portion of the display member.
- 7. The display system of claim 6,wherein the hinge portion being formed from a resiliently flexible material and formed of one piece with the engagement portion, which allows the sign holding portion of the display member to flex in relation to the support body when a force is applied to the display member.
- 8. The display system of claim 6, wherein the sides of the support body taper outwardly adjacent a lower end thereof.
- 9. The display system of claim 6, wherein the support body includes a shelf portion adjacent a lower end which engages the display member when the display member is connected with the support body.
- 10. The display system of claim 6, wherein the sign holding portion includes first and second spaced walls which define a channel for selectively receiving a sign and a plurality of resiliently flexible fins extending into the channel from the walls for frictionally gripping the associated sign therebetween.
- 11. A display system comprising:a generally planar support body having opposed first and second surfaces; a mounting member extending from the first surface of the support body for selectively engaging an associated fixture; a display member selectively connectable with the support body such that it extends from a second surface of the support body, wherein at least one of the display member and the support body includes a binge portion which allows at least a portion of the display member to pivot in relation to the support body when a force is applied to the display member, the support body including: a projection extending from the second surface, the projection engaging a planar portion of the display member when the display member is connected with the support body, and a shelf extending from the second surface adjacent a lower end of the support body which engages the display member when the display member is connected with the support body.
- 12. A mounting bracket for selectively mounting an associated display member to an associated fixture comprising:a generally planar support body including: at least one groove located on a first surface thereof for selectively receiving a flange on the associated display member; at least one mounting member extending from the first surface of the support body for selectively engaging the associated fixture; a shelf extending from a second surface of the support body, wherein said shelf contacts a generally planar portion of the associated display member when the display member is received on the support member, the generally planar portion of the display member being connected with the flange; and a projection, extending from the second surface of the support body, the projection frictionally engaging the generally planar portion of the associated display member when the display member; is received on the support member.
- 13. A mounting bracket for selectively mounting an associated display member to an associated fixture comprising:a generally planar support body including: at least one groove located on a first surface thereof for selectively receiving a flange on an associated display member; at least one mounting member extending from the first surface of the support body for selectively engaging an associated fixture; a shelf extending from a second surface of the support body, wherein said shelf contacts a generally planar portion of the associated display member when the associated display member is received on the support member, the generally planar portion of the associated display member being connected with the flange, the at least one groove being tapered adjacent the shelf.
- 14. A method of displaying a sign comprising:mounting a support body on a suitable fixture; connecting a display member with the support body, the display member including a hinge portion which flexes when a force is applied to a portion of the display member and returns generally to its original position when the force is removed, including: sliding a generally planar portion of the display member over a surface of the support body, flanges extending from the generally planar portion engaging an opposite surface of the support body, thereby gripping the support body between the flanges and the planar portion, a projection on the surface of the support body engaging the planar portion of the display member to resist displacement of the display member from the support body; and inserting the sign in a channel formed in the distal end of the display member.
- 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the step of mounting the support body includes:inserting fingers on the support body in suitably positioned openings in the fixture.
