Shopping cart display device

Abstract

An improved display device is disclosed for holding an advertisement or the like in a card or sheet-like form upon a shopping cart. The display device comprises a base panel having a substantially rectangular body and a plurality of longitudinal slots formed therethrough, the slots extending across the body of the base panel in separate radial and tangential directions to provide multiple areas of access to the shopping cart wall for balanced mounting of the device. Each of the slots is further provided with a support post extending centrally across the width of the slot to provide support for the attachment to the shopping cart wall by means of conventional cable ties. The display device further comprises a cover frame formed having a substantially rectangular outer configuration similar to that of the base panel and further formed having a rectangular aperture through the thickness of the frame thereby providing a rim section with a viewing window through the frame. The base panel and cover frame are assembled and releasably engaged by means of a series of clip members formed on the reverse side of the rim section that align with and engage a series of squared holes formed around the periphery of the base panel. Notched corners formed on the lower corners of the rim section of the cover frame allow the advertisement card or sheet to be inserted and removed without disassembling or detaching the device from the shopping cart.
