Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
137 words
A display unit consisting of a base member and a movable support member adapted to extend from said base member for supporting objects, said base member having an attachment surface adapted to engage a horizontal support surface and an adjacent vertical surface integral therewith adapted to simultaneously engage a vertical support surface with said base member having a portion vertically offset above attachment surface to provide space to permit attachment of said base member to a support surface having a raised lip at the leading edge, adhesive means for securing said base to said horizontal support surface and means located on said vertical surface for pivotally connecting said base member and movable support member together whereby said movable support member is adapted to swing about said pivot means in a substantially coplanar relationship with said horizontal surface.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
137 words
A display unit consisting of a base member and a movable support member adapted to extend from said base member for supporting objects, said base member having an attachment surface adapted to engage a horizontal support surface and an adjacent vertical surface integral therewith adapted to simultaneously engage a vertical support surface with said base member having a portion vertically offset above attachment surface to provide space to permit attachment of said base member to a support surface having a raised lip at the leading edge, adhesive means for securing said base to said horizontal support surface and means located on said vertical surface for pivotally connecting said base member and movable support member together whereby said movable support member is adapted to swing about said pivot means in a substantially coplanar relationship with said horizontal surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
127 words
A display unit consisting of a base member and a display support arm member which unit is adapted to conform to a shelf or like fixed structure having horizontal and vertical surfaces intersecting on a corner, said display support member having an integral reinforcing element extending lengthwise of said member, said base member having adjacent horizontal and vertical surface portions adapted respectively to engage the corresponding surface of said fixed structure, wherein said horizontal surface of said base member is relieved to permit attachment of said base to fixed structure having a bead at said corner, a pressure sensitive tape for securing together said horizontal engaging surfaces and means on said base member for pivotally supporting arm member in a substantially coplanar relationship with said horizontal surface.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
127 words
A display unit consisting of a base member and a display support arm member which unit is adapted to conform to a shelf or like fixed structure having horizontal and vertical surfaces intersecting on a corner, said display support member having an integral reinforcing element extending lengthwise of said member, said base member having adjacent horizontal and vertical surface portions adapted respectively to engage the corresponding surface of said fixed structure, wherein said horizontal surface of said base member is relieved to permit attachment of said base to fixed structure having a bead at said corner, a pressure sensitive tape for securing together said horizontal engaging surfaces and means on said base member for pivotally supporting arm member in a substantially coplanar relationship with said horizontal surface.
