摘要： An apparatus for the display and storage of package products in a store environment for access by consumers is adapted for use in conjunction with conventional display gondolas having uprights for shelf mounting. The apparatus includes a gravity feed unit for positioning on a shelf behind an array of products to drive the products forward on the shelf towards a bumper unit. A track for guiding the gravity feed unit slopes downwardly towards the front of the shelf, allowing a force to be generated by the pusher unit against the arrayed products. The pusher may have a platform on which products may be placed to increase the effective mass of the pusher to enhance the produced forward force.

摘要： A two bin inventory construction to accommodate similar products in different size packaging, or the same shape and size products which sell at different rates. The construction is self-contained and sits on a gondola base, a shelf spaced from the base, or via hooks directly to the gondola uprights, and includes a first lower bin and a second upper bin. The upper front portion of the lower bin is truncated to accommodate the smaller bin. The bins may each have a cradle configuration so that as goods are removed, remaining goods will fall to an accessible location. The smaller bin is pivotally mounted on the sides to the larger bin allowing the small bin to be swung to a lower position allowing greater access to the larger bin. When the smaller bin is in its normal position, its inventory is directly accessible, while the larger bin inventory is accessible by an opening formed between the smaller bin and a forward lip of the larger bin.

摘要： A universal shelf bracket composed of three basic interlocking components held together and adjusted by a screw and rectangular nut. The bracket engages a pair of vertically aligned slots in a vertical wall and can be adjusted to fit a variety of slot spacings and depths. The bracket is constructed so that its tabs are both flush with the same outer wall while still allowing the bracket to fit squarely in the slots. Left and right brackets can be constructed so that two brackets can be engaged to one common pair of vertically aligned slots.

摘要： A modular display system unit for beverage bottles includes a base assembly and at least two spaced apart upright supporting webs detachably connected to the base assembly. A plurality of shelf assemblies are positioned for support between the webs. Each shelf includes a novel top surface sheet to minimize friction forces between the shelf and the bottles to provide a gravity feed capability when the shelves are tilted forward. Brackets are provided for detachable connection to the webs for adjustably supporting the shelf assemblies between the webs at varying heights and angles of inclination with respect to the longitudinal axis of the webs. The webs include an arrangement of keyhole slots, preferably on both sides thereof, but on at least one side, which serve to support the brackets. The arrangement includes a row of central keyhole slots having their axes aligned with each other and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the web. At least one additional row of side keyhole slots having their axes parallel to each other and oriented at an angle of between 5.degree. and 15.degree. with respect to the longitudinal axis of the web is also provided, so that the brackets may be mounted at an angle of inclination with respect to the axis of the web. Each bracket carries upper and lower connector elements for insertion into one of the keyhole slots to support the bracket on the web. Additionally, each bracket has at least one upwardly extending member intended to detachably engage one side of a shelf assembly.

摘要： A gravity-fed storage and dispensing unit featuring two sidewalls having opposed ledges which form a plurality of separated rearwardly-directed paths, a receiving bin area, and a forwardly-directed path for products to be stored and dispensed. Products placed on a loading area on the front side of the dispensing unit are pulled by gravity down the rearwardly-directed path, into a product receiving bin, and then travel together along the forwardly directed path in two rows. The products from the different rearwardly-directed paths are interspersed in the product receiving bin area. The sidewalls of the dispensing unit have bosses which receive divider rods of varying lengths so that the width of the paths can be adjusted. Multiple units may be attached to each other in an adjacent relationship.

摘要： A gravity feed combined display and storage unit for use in a professional salon type environment. The unit is divided into a plurality of compartments separated by a series of bottle supports, T-shaped in configuration, which includes an upright divider member and outwardly depending shoulders. The supports slope dowwardly from the back to the front of the unit where they abut a plurality of bottle stops. The sides of the shoulders are spaced apart a sufficient distance, to support a bottle by the underside of its angle and neck feed, the bottle supports being positioned at a sufficient height so that the bottles hang free and clear from any base surface. The shoulders terminate a sufficient distance from the back wall to that bottles may be placed in the rear, the shoulders supporting a number of bottles.The bottle stops terminate just below the shoulders and the bottle neck, exposing the entire front panel. The edge of adjacent stops form a channel whose width is less than the diameter of the bottle neck, with intermediate setbacks, then forming a channel whose width is greater than the width of the neck and the cap. The distance from the bottom of the stop to the setback is sufficiently less than the distance from the bottle shoulder to the neck feed, so that slightly elevating the bottle allows it to clear the stops and be removed. Gravity will cause the bottles in back of the removed bottles to slide forward, thus exposing the label of the next bottle in sequence.

摘要翻译： 重力饲料组合显示和存储单元，用于专业沙龙类型环境。 该单元被分成多个隔室，这些隔室由一系列呈T形的瓶子支架分隔开，其中包括一个直立的分隔件和向外的肩部。 支撑件从靠近多个瓶塞的单元的后部到前部向下倾斜。 肩部的侧面间隔开足够的距离，以通过其角度和颈部进给的下侧来支撑瓶子，瓶子支架定位在足够的高度，使得瓶子从任何基部表面悬挂和清除。 肩膀从后壁终止足够的距离，瓶子可以放在后面，肩膀支撑着一些瓶子。 瓶子停止在肩膀和瓶颈下方，暴露整个前面板。 相邻止动件的边缘形成宽度小于瓶颈直径的通道，中间挫折，然后形成宽度大于颈部和帽子宽度的通道。 从止动件底部到挫折的距离足够小于从瓶肩到颈部进给的距离，因此稍微升高瓶子可以使其清除止动件并将其移除。 重力会导致瓶子后面的瓶子向前滑动，从而依次露出下一瓶的标签。

摘要： A shelving system is designed for use in conjunction with a store gondola unit having a pair of uprights for conventional shelves. The system has a pair of auxiliary uprights which are mounted to a crossbar which in turn can be affixed to the gondola uprights. The auxiliary uprights are of a right-angle construction, each of the legs of the construction being provided with closely spaced apertures. Horizontal shelf supports are mounted to the auxiliary uprights, engagement occurring in two perpendicular planes to rigidly lock the shelf supports in position. A shelf is slidably mounted to the horizontal supports, and may include front and rear portions, the rear portion being pivotable between a horizontal and an elevated position. The front portion may include a well at the front thereof to further maintain product at the front of the shelf. The rear shelf portion, when pivoted upwardly, allows inventory stocked on a next-lower shelf to extend upward into the space otherwise occupied by the rear shelf portion when in the horizontal position, thereby providing for additional inventory storage space.
