ABSTRACT:
A cover strip for at least the upper corner and front surface member of a display shelf is an integrally formed sheet of plastic having pre-formed fold lines extending widthwise. When deployed, the fold lines overlie respective right-angle corners formed by the forward facing edge of the shelf. In one embodiment the lower edge of the cover strip is folded to extend forwardly and upwardly about a flange member on the shelf to resiliently contact the underside of the shelf. The opposite end of the cover strip may include projections which extend through holes defined in the shelf to secure the cover strip in those holes. In an alternative embodiment, projections extend from opposite edges of the cover strip to engage respective holes in the support member and/or in a flange member disposed beneath the support member of the shelf, with yet another embodiment having locking tabs to overlie the rearmost edge of the flange member. Adhesive means may be substituted for the tabs and one embodiment is designed for use with a shelf having a price channel as its front surface member. The cover strip serves to protect against injury to persons rubbing against the shelf edge while providing a more decorative appearance and permitting display of merchandise-related indicia.
