Abstract
Abstract For cantilever mounting to and slidable positioning along upright channel members, there is disclosed retailing display brackets including a conventional display or hanger bar that is connected to a novel anchor-member. The anchor-member has triangular wings including a rearward prong and also leaf-spring which together normally bear against the channel rear-face and effect a cantilever mounting for the elongate bar. With such prongs and leaf-spring combination, specially contoured or perforate channel rear-faces are unnecessary. For slideable height adjustment of the anchor-member along the upright channel, the operator briefly maintains the elongate bar in an inclined condition which de-activates the wing prong and the leaf-spring during the height adjustment process.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
188 words
For use in slidably moveable and thence self-locking combination along the interior of an upright channel member, retailing display bracket comprising: (A) a generally horizontally extending bar having a transversely extending rear-end and a front-end; and (B) an anchor-member including: (i) a web member having transversely extending rear-surface and front-surface, said bar rear-end being attached to said web member at the front-surface thereof; (ii) a pair of substantially parallel wings attached to transversely separated locations of said web member, each wing being of substantially identical obtusely triangular shape and wherein: the lengthiest leg extends linearly downwardly and rearwardly from an upper portion of the web member, and the shortest leg extends linearly downwardly and rearwardly from a lower portion of the web member to provide an acute-angle prong at the intersection of said lengthiest and shortest legs, whereby said prong is located below and also at a finite-gap rearwardly of said web member; and (iii) attached to a central lower portion of said web member and extending upwardly and rearwardly from the rear-surface thereof, a leaf-spring having a rearward-extremity spaced more than said finite-gap from said web member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
188 words
For use in slidably moveable and thence self-locking combination along the interior of an upright channel member, retailing display bracket comprising: (A) a generally horizontally extending bar having a transversely extending rear-end and a front-end; and (B) an anchor-member including: (i) a web member having transversely extending rear-surface and front-surface, said bar rear-end being attached to said web member at the front-surface thereof; (ii) a pair of substantially parallel wings attached to transversely separated locations of said web member, each wing being of substantially identical obtusely triangular shape and wherein: the lengthiest leg extends linearly downwardly and rearwardly from an upper portion of the web member, and the shortest leg extends linearly downwardly and rearwardly from a lower portion of the web member to provide an acute-angle prong at the intersection of said lengthiest and shortest legs, whereby said prong is located below and also at a finite-gap rearwardly of said web member; and (iii) attached to a central lower portion of said web member and extending upwardly and rearwardly from the rear-surface thereof, a leaf-spring having a rearward-extremity spaced more than said finite-gap from said web member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
The retailing display bracket of claim 1 wherein the two wings are geometrically identical; and wherein the wing has a frontleg attached to said web member, said frontleg being the second-lengthiest leg for said triangular wing.
