Information display system

An information display system which is adapted to be affixed to a substantially planar top support surface of a shelf having a front end region and a downwardly depending front edge therein said information display system comprising:

• a base portion which includes a planar shelf contacting panel, a front presentation face, a pair of stiffening ribs, and two side panels, and with at least one display pocket;
• wherein said base portion comprises two halves, each of which is a mirror image of the other half;
• wherein the self contacting panel of each half of said base portion is adapted to be affixed to the substantially planar top support surface of a shelf having a downwardly depending front edge in the front region thereof, in a manner so as to be spaced apart by a first predetermined distance whereby said pair of stiffening ribs are spaced apart by a second predetermined distance;
• wherein said front presentation face of each half of said base portion is in a plane which intersects the plane of said shelf contacting panel, and wherein said at least one display pocket is hingedly attached to said front presentation face;
• wherein said front presentation face has first and second ends wherein each of said first and second ends has one said stiffening rib and one said side panel which are contiguous one with the other, and wherein said stiffening rib and said respective side panel occupy the same plane which is perpendicular to the plane of said front presentation face and the plane of said shelf contacting panel;
• wherein each of said stiffening ribs extends outwardly beyond said front presentation face of each half of said base portion, and wherein each of said stiffening ribs has an edge which coincides with the respective first and second ends of said respective half of said front presentation face in the edge regions thereof;
• wherein each of said side panels has one side edge which contacts one of the substantially planar top support surface of the shelf in the front edge region thereof, or the surface of the front shelf edge, when said information display system is in use;
• wherein said at least one display pocket has top and bottom edges and first and second side ends, and wherein said at least one display pocket has top and bottom panels wherein said top panel overlies a substantial portion of said bottom panel;
• wherein said bottom edge of said top panel and said bottom edge of said bottom panel are sealed one to the other;
• wherein said at least one display pocket is openable in at least one of the top and first and second side ends such that at least one display card may be inserted between said top and bottom panels of said at least one display pocket;
• wherein said top panel of said at least one display pocket has at least a portion in the region of said top edge which forms a hinge so as to hingedly attach said at least one display pocket to said front presentation face;
• and
• wherein said first and second side ends of said at least one display pocket lie adjacent to said respective stiffening ribs, when said at least one display pocket is hingedly attached to said front presentation face.
