An extruded PVC clip-on label holder for use on glass shelves such as merchandise shelves in retail outlets has a label holder panel and a pair of resilient rearwardly extending arms forming a channel between which a shelf is gripped. The holder is suitable for use on both thinner and thicker glass shelves by virtue of a step which extends along the base of the channel in one corner. A thinner shelf is gripped between the arms with its front edge fitting over the step and abutting the rear surface of the label holder panel. A thicker shelf is gripped between the arms with its front edge abutting the step.

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 7, 1995 and granted January 29, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 7, 2015.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 7, 2017.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
