French term or phrase: Garde-corps
Hi everyone,

This is part of a POS stand. It's referring to what I would call a stopper. It is the rectangular part on the first of the strips (called the 'nez') in this picture: https://ibb.co/5BNQCvQ. I assume it's to stop the products falling off the shelf.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Best,
Nick

This is a possibility and it kind of matches the French too (garde)

uard rail (guardrails, protective guarding)


Explanation:
Un garde-corps (ou garde-fou ou rambarde) est un ensemble d'éléments formant une barrière de protection placée sur les côtés d'un escalier ouvert, ou pourtour d'un palier, d'une toiture terrasse, d'une autoroute (le garde-fou prend le nom spécifique de glissière de sécurité avec ou sans garde-corps pour que le personnel puisse ou non enjamber la protection), d'un balcon, d'une mezzanine ou d'une galerie ou à tout autre endroit afin d'empêcher une chute accidentelle dans le vide. La composition du garde-corps peut varier, mais généralement sa construction implique qu'il ne puisse être escaladé facilement ou qu'un enfant ne puisse se glisser entre ses composants.
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garde-corps

Guard rail, guardrails, or protective guarding,[1] in general, are a boundary feature and may be a means to prevent or deter access to dangerous or off-limits areas while allowing light and visibility in a greater way than a fence. Common shapes are flat, rounded edge, and tubular in horizontal railings, whereas tetraform spear-headed or ball-finialled are most common in vertical railings around homes. Park and garden railings commonly in metalworking feature swirls, leaves, plate metal areas and/or motifs particularly on and beside gates.
High security railings (particularly if in flat metal then a type of palisade) may instead feature jagged points and most metals are well-suited to anti-climb paint.
A handrail is less restrictive on its own than a guard rail and provides support.
