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.

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...
