Abstract
A store information mount apparatus for flippably displaying substrates bearing information pertaining to a consumer electronic device. The apparatus has amount flange, a display flange made integrally with the store mount flange, a clamp flange bearing plural ring clamps to be received by the display flange, and at least one substrate engaged with the ring clamps.
Claims17
A store information mount apparatus for flippably displaying plural substrates, comprising:
- store mount flange formed with at least one hole so that a fastener can extend through the hole and into a store mount to engage the store mount flange with the store mount;
- display flange made integrally with the store mount flange and not being coplanar therewith, the display flange including plural openings for receiving respective ring clamps therethrough;
- and
- clamp flange bearing plural ring clamps and movably disposed between the store mount flange and display flange for movement between a first configuration, wherein respective ends of the ring clamps are distanced from the display flange such that a substrate formed with holes registered with the ring clamps can be engaged with the ring clamps, and a second configuration, wherein the ends of the ring clamps are closely juxtaposed with the display flange such that substrates engaged with the ring clamps are trapped from being disengaged from the ring clamps.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- positioning a first portion of an information display apparatus horizontally over a store shelf;
- orienting a second portion of the apparatus obliquely relative to the first portion;
- providing plural information substrates on the second portion such that the substrates face upward when lying flush on the second portion;
- and
- permitting at least some of the substrates to be flipped away from the second portion without disengaging the substrates from the apparatus, wherein the first portion is established by a store mount flange formed with at least one hole so that a fastener can extend through the hole and into a store mount to engage the store mount flange with the store mount wherein the second portion is established by a display flange including plural openings for receiving respective ring clamps therethrough.
2 more elements
Display assembly comprising:
- an in-store information mount apparatus;
- plural substrates lying flat on the apparatus in an upward orientation to facilitate a person standing above the apparatus viewing a substrate, the apparatus being movable to permit substrates to be engaged and disengaged with the apparatus;
- store mount flange formed with at least one hole so that a fastener can extend through the hole and into a store mount to engage the store mount flange with the store mount;
- display flange made integrally with the store mount flange and not being coplanar therewith, the display flange including plural openings for receiving respective ring clamps therethrough;
- and
- clamp flange bearing plural ring clamps and movably disposed between the store mount flange and display flange for movement between a first configuration, wherein respective ends of the ring clamps are distanced from the display flange such that a substrate formed with holes registered with the ring clamps can be engaged with the ring clamps, and a second configuration, wherein the ends of the ring clamps are closely juxtaposed with the display flange such that substrates engaged with the ring clamps are trapped from being disengaged from the ring clamps.
