A display shelf dividing and labeling assembly includes a plurality of divider strips which extend back to divide the display space on a shelf, connected to a front base member overhanging the front edge of the shelf. The divider strips are slidably received in the front base member to lock them in position. Labels may be inserted into the front base member, which may be retained on the shelf with adhesive pads.

A shelf divider and labeling assembly for use on a shelf on which items are displayed, comprising, a front base member which overhangs a front edge of the shelf, including means for holding and displaying at least one nameplate, a plurality of divider strips arranged in spaced parallel fashion so as to extend perpendicularly back from the base member, each divider strip being generally thin and flat and arranged to lie on the shelf surface with a bottom edge of the divider strip contacting the shelf surface and planes within which the divider strips lie being parallel to one another and perpendicular to the shelf surface, and wherein the divider strips each include at least one line of reduced thickness extending transversely across the divider strip, so that the divider strip is breakable along the line of reduced thickness in order to shorten the divider strip to accommodate shelves of different depths, and means for slideably attaching the divider strips to the front base member so as to allow the front base member to overhang the front edge of the shelf while the divider strips rest on the surface of the shelf, said means comprising, an elongated end flange member at a forward end of each divider strip, oriented transversely to the length of the divider strip, a locking tab extending forwardly from the end flange member, having an enlarged head portion, upper and lower generally horizontal flanges on the front base member, integrally formed with and extending back from the nameplate bearing member and substantially coextensive with the length of the front base member, with the upper and lower horizontal flanges being spaced apart vertically and each including a gripping flange extending from the rearward end of the horizontal flange and generally toward the opposite horizontal flange, defining an elongated gap or slot between the two gripping flanges, the gripping flanges being positioned so as to be contacted and engaged flatly at their back sides by the end flange members of the divider strips when the shelf divider is assembled, the end flange members having a height generally coextensive with the height defined by the horizontal flanges and gripping flanges, and the gap or slot, and the spacing between the upper and lower horizontal flanges, being such as to receive the locking tab of the divider strip slideably between the upper and lower horizontal flanges with the enlarged head portion received within a space defined by the nameplate bearing member and the upper and lower horizontal flanges, and with the rear surface of the gripping flanges closely abutting against the end flange member of the divider strips, and with upper and loer elongated horizontal recesses between the head portion and the end flange member of the divider strip closely receiving the upper and lower gripping flanges of the front base member such that any rotational movement of the divider strip with respect to the front base member is substantially prevented by the close engagement of the gripping flanges in the horizontal recesses in combination with the engagement of the end flange member with the back sides of the gripping flanges, whereby the divider strips are securely held and correctly oriented with respect to the front base member, while being slideable laterally along the length of the front base member to adjust the spacings of the divider strips on the shelf.
