Abstract

A vertical display unit for mounting to a vertical post of an associated structure that has apertures formed therein. First and second brackets include fastening mechanisms that are used to fasten the spine to the brackets and securing mechanisms that are used to secure the brackets to the associated structure. The brackets include first and second spacers that are positioned between the spine and the associated structure so that a portion of the spine is spaced from a portion of the associated structure. Any combination of first and second wings or spine attachments are attached to the spine. Wing attachments may also be fastened to the first and second wings. The wing attachments, first and second wings, and / or the spine attachments can accommodate goods to be displayed.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention is directed to a vertical display unit that is configured to display products, advertisements and other goods. The vertical display unit is mounted to and spaced from an associated structure. [0002] Signs, and more particularly, point-of-purchase sign or display systems can, when properly designed, be tremendously effective marketing tools. The systems have become widely popular in all manners of retail trade. [0003] In one common use, signs are mounted to shelving systems that permit loading of pallets and palletized items onto the shelves. These are commonly referred to as pallet racks. These arrangements permit the storage of large items and large amounts of items on each of the shelves. However, the shelves do not typically lend themselves to the mounting of point-of-purchase displays units or signs. [0004] Many known display units and signs are permanently or semi-permanently affixed to the shelves and are hung above or b...
