Abstract

A display table is provided having a table top with a top surface to receive articles to be displayed and a front face of substantial vertical depth containing an elongated recess substantially parallel to the top surface and a rigid elongated generally U-shaped member inlaid in said recess and adapted to anchor one end of a top surface partition and to receive a ticket holder. In a preferred embodiment, the leg of said U-shaped member next to said top surface contains a section, the outer surface of which extends downwardly and inwardly and then upwardly to form a second recess within said member, which, in combination with a partition anchor or ticket holder, increases resistance to tampering. A novel type of ticket holder is adapted to be snapped into said front face of said table top. The top of the table can also contain a recessed channel member extending parallel to the front face of the table and having a lip whereby partition members having resilient clips thereon can be snapped into engagement on one side with said lip of said channel member and on the other side with said U-shaped member.

Claims

1. In combination:

(a) a merchandise display table comprising a table top having a top surface to receive articles to be displayed, a front face of substantial vertical depth, an elongated recess in said front face substantially parallel to said top surface and a rigid elongated generally U-shaped member inlaid in said recess in said front face with the central part of the U disposed inwardly a substantial distance from said front face, the legs of the U generally parallel to said top surface, the open part of the U facing in the direction of said front face, and the outer end of the leg of said U next to said top surface spaced therefrom to provide a substantially vertical area on said front face between said end of said leg and said top surface, and (b) a holder for a price tag or other material in sheet form, used in connection with the display of articles on said table, said holder having a vertically disposed section, a resilient lower section extending inwardly from said vertically disposed section, an intermediate section extending inwardly from said vertically disposed section, said intermediate section having an upwardly projecting portion, and an upper section extending upwardly and inwardly above the table top from said vertically disposed section, the underside of said intermediate section engaging the top surface of said table of (a), said lower section engaging the inner surface of said U-shaped member of (a) so that said holder is clamped to said table top surface and to said U-shaped member, and said price tag or other material in sheet form being held between the upper end of said upwardly projecting portion of said intermediate section of said holder and the underside of said upwardly and inwardly extending upper section of said holder.

2. A combination as claimed in claim 1 in which the leg of said U-shaped member next to the top surface of said table contains a section which extends inwardly and then upwardly to form a second recess within said U-shaped member and said resilient lower section of said holder has an upwardly projecting end which is received by said recess.

3. A combination as claimed in claim 1 in which said upwardly and inwardly extending section of said holder has a downwardly extending lip at the upper end thereof.
