ABSTRACT:
A tag holder assembly is provided for mounting on the edges of a display shelf for retail merchandise. When the assembly is pressed against the shelf, the assembly flexes to permit members of the assembly to rotate into a locked position. This flexion gives rise to forces which reliably secure the assembly to the shelf. In one embodiment, the assembly can be removed by rotating the members to an unlocked position. The assembly can be made as a unitary device including, for example, a living hinge. Alternatively, the assembly can made as two or more separate members. The assembly can also include a projecting member that extends higher than the front surface of the shelf to prevent objects on the shelf from falling off. Significantly, any forces which the objects transmit to the assembly through the projecting member tend to lock the assembly even more securely on the shelf.
