Abstract
Abstract A label holder of plastic sheet material is particularly adapted for use on wire rod structures having a horizontal wire rod and one or more vertical wire rods depending from the horizontal rod. The label holder has a central label panel and upper and lower attachment portions. Each attachment portion has a tab with a rod-engaging aperture and slit. The upper attachment portion is folded over the top of the horizontal rod and its aperture is engaged with a vertical rod from behind. The aperture of the lower attachment portion is engaged with the vertical rod from the front. The angle of the label panel is set by adjusting the degree of folding between the label panel and the lower attachment portion.
