Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a merchandise display assembly, and more particularly to a such an assembly having a bin swingable from an upper horizontally recessed storage position at which merchandise items contained therein are within the normal reach of consumers, to a lower horizontally extended filling position at which such items can be readily loaded into the bin, yet when in lower position outwardly clearing another merchandise display unit such as a tray in the space therebelow and when in upper position upwardly clearing the tray for consumer access to its merchandise items.
  • the usual merchandise display unit used for dispensing lightweight bulky and often fragile ingredients such as salted snacks, e.g. potato chips, or other chip, snack, peanut, etc. salted snack category merchandise items, requires a large space in the consumer shopping area of supermarkets or other retail stores. This is because these items are of the "flex-bag” type, i.e. relatively large volume individual packages, often filled with air in hermetically sealed condition to avoid crushing of the contents and loss of commercial attractiveness.
  • the unit use efficiently the lateral display area, i.e. the lateral or horizontal width along the store aisle, to hold as many items as possible.
  • the usual retail store allots only a limited amount of shelf space to each category of merchandise along the aisle, and since the usable shelf depth is fixed, while the usable height is limited to a range no higher generally than consumer eye level or consumer reach, that space must be efficiently used within its laterally constricting allotted width.
  • the present invention further relates to a fastening arrangement for releasably interlocking wire mesh panels or frames in a merchandise display arrangement.
  • Storage bins and bin shelves may be in the form of interlocked wire mesh panels or frames.
  • Each wire mesh frame is preformed into a particular shape which, when interlocked with other preformed frames in a predetermined manner, provide a desired configuration for the bin or shelf.
  • wire mesh the configuration is characterized by a set of parallel elongated elements which cross another set of parallel elongated elements to form a grid-like configuration. All the elongated elements of one frame are bounded by the periphery of the frame.
  • the wire mesh may be made of any material, such as metal for durability and strength, synthetic resin for ease of manufacture, rubber or elastic materials for flexibility.
  • the storage bins or bin shelves are secured to a gondola, which is an island fixture in retail or department stores used to display merchandise.
  • the gondola is characterized by having two spaced apart and parallel vertically extending support posts, each with a plurality of holes at uniform distances along the height of the support post. These holes are suitable for attachment by hooks or the like which clamp into the holes.
  • the spacing between the supports of the gondolas may vary depending upon the locale. Even if all the gondolas of a particular country are of a standard size, that standard size may still be different than that used in another country. Therefore, installing the same size bin or shelf in different countries poses problems.
  • a merchandise display assembly which comprises a vertical bin having a front side and a rear side, an upper opening for filling the bin with dispensable merchandise items, and a lower opening at the front side for manual removal of the items from the bin, plus bracket means adapted to be attached to a vertical support structure, and a suspension linkage for mounting the bin vertically on the bracket means.
  • Counterbalancing means such as loaded spring means are favorably provided for normally urging the linkage to swing the bin to upper position.
  • the lever means may include a normally vertical lever having a stationary pivot at a lower end thereof fixed to the bracket means and a floating pivot at an upper end thereof spaced a selective distance from the stationary pivot and fixed to the bin so that the floating pivot vertically overlies the stationary pivot, the lever being swingable about the stationary pivot to move the floating pivot to a lower level at which the lever is inclined to the vertical and the floating pivot is forwardly outwardly spaced from the stationary pivot to move the bin from upper to lower position.
  • the bin has opposed lateral sides
  • the bracket means include a bracket at each lateral side of the bin
  • the lever means include a lever at each bracket and fixed at a stationary pivot thereof to the bracket and fixed at a floating pivot thereof to the adjacent bin lateral side, with a counterbalancing means being provided at each lever for normally urging the lever to vertical position to swing the bin to upper position.
  • the drawer is slidably mounted on the slides and pivotable with the slides relative to the walls about the horizontal pivot to raise the drawer front end, and a stop on at least one of the walls normally retainingly engages the drawer front end, such that the drawer is liftable at its front end over the stop by upward movement about the horizontal pivot to release the drawer for forwardly outward movement to an extended position at which the rear end is disposed at least adjacent the bin front side when in upper position, to permit unhindered filling of the drawer with items adjacent its rear end.
  • the gravity feed system includes forwardly and downwardly inclined linear guides extending from the rear end to the front end of the drawer and weighted pusher members having guideways for slidably engaging the guides to urge items in the drawer toward its front end.
  • the frames are adjustably engaged with each other into any one of a plurality of positions relative to each other.
  • the engaging members are hooks with C-shaped portions which simultaneously accomodate one of the elongated members of the other frame.
  • the invention also relates to a fastening arrangement and method which includes two elongated support elements extending parallel to each other at the same elevation with respect to a gondola. At least one of the elongated support elements is adjustably secured to a respective support post of the gondola via two securing elements. The two securing elements are adjustably fastened to each other as well as respectively to the elongated support element and support post. This adjustability enables the securing elements to be arranged into any one of a plurality of relative positions.
  • both elongated support elements be secured to respective support posts in the same manner.
  • the adjustability is enabled by the use of elongated slots in the securing elements and, preferably, also in the elongated support elements.
  • the elongated slots of one element extends in a direction which is perpendicular or at least different from the direction in which elongated slots extend in another element.
  • the securing elements are arranged with one face with elongated slots against each other.
  • the elongated slots of one face are elongated in a direction perpendicular to that of the other face and a fastening element such as a fastening screw is inserted through one elongated slot in each face.
  • Adjustability is derived from the ability of the faces to be moved relative to each other into a plurality of positions prior to fastening along the length of the elongated slots.
  • a nut is screwed onto the end of the fastening screw to secure the two faces against each other between the nut and head of the fastening screw.
  • the elongated slots in the elongated support element extend at an angle which is oblique to the direction of elongation of the elongated support element. This angle may be 45°.
  • the invention also relates to a fastening arrangement and method in which two elongated members have clamping hooks for releasable securement to respective support posts of the gondola.
  • Two prongs are adjustably and slidably inserted into two tubes.
  • the prongs are attached to the side of one of the shelf bin and elongated members and the tubes are attached to the other of the shelf bin and elongated members. Since the elongated members are clamped onto the support posts, fastening adjustment between the shelf bin and support posts is effected by varying the amount in which the prongs are inserted into the tubes.
  • the tubes and prongs are at the same elevation and to avoid allowing the prongs to fall out of the tubes due to gravity. They may be friction fit with each other so that they are not easily pulled apart from each other.
  • a merchandise display assembly 1 which includes an upper vertical closed bin 2, e.g. of open wire mesh construction, and a lower outwardly and downwardly inclined upwardly open tray 3, e.g. in the form of a drawer, mounted on a vertical structural support 4.
  • Support 4 is formed in conventional manner of a pair of laterally spaced apart columns 5 interconnected by a panel 6, and this type support structure as used in retail stores is often referred to as a gondola.
  • Structure 4 may be bolted to a wall or other permanent structure in a retail shopping area by bolts 7 or the like, or may be provided with floor engaging feet 8 (shown in phantom) to form a self-standing unit.
  • Bin 2 is mounted on support 4 by side brackets 9,9 and suspension linkages 10,10 and tray 3 is mounted on support 4 by side walls 11,11, such that the usable volume V (shown in phantom) of tray 3 is spaced downwardly of bin 2 a selective distance to permit unhindered access to the randomly arranged gravity feed, bulky package items I (shown in phantom), e.g. potato chip bags or other "flex-bag” product of commodity quality, in bin 2, as well as unhindered access to the orderly arranged, upstanding and front-facing, gravity feed, denser package items D, e.g. small bags of premium quality nuts, in tray 3.
  • Bin 2 has a vertical front side 12, a vertical rear side 13, opposed vertical lateral sides 14,14, a closed forwardly and downwardly inclined bottom side 15, an open upper side forming an upper loading hopper or filling opening 16 for loading bin 2 with the dispensable merchandise items I, and a lower opening 17 at front side 12 for manual removal of items I from bin 2 by the consumer.
  • Linkages 10 mount bin 2 vertically on brackets 9 for swinging movement of bin 2 in the direction of arrow A forwardly outwardly and downwardly from an upper storage position U at which rear side 13 is at a horizontally recessed point adjacent brackets 9 and support 4, and lower opening 17 is at a vertical dispensing level, e.g. eye level, at which the items I can be readily removed therefrom by a consumer, to a lower filling position L (shown in phantom in Fig. 2) at which rear side 13 is at a horizontally extended point spaced a selective distance forwardly outwardly from its horizontally recessed point, and upper opening 16 is at a vertical loading level, e.g. eye level, at which items I can be readily filled thereinto by a store attendant.
  • a vertical dispensing level e.g. eye level
  • Linkages 10 include lever means having stationary pivot means fixed to brackets 9 and floating pivot means spaced a selective distance from the stationary pivot means and fixed to bin 2 for swinging movement of the lever means about the stationary pivot means and of bin 2 about the floating pivot means.
  • these linkage means contemplate a normally vertical lever having a stationary pivot at a lower end thereof fixed to a corresponding bracket 9 and a floating pivot at an upper end thereof spaced a selective distance from the stationary pivot and fixed to bin 2 so that the floating pivot generally vertically overlies the stationary pivot, the lever being swingable about the stationary pivot to move the floating pivot in the direction of arrow A to a lower level at which the lever is inclined to the vertical and the floating pivot is forwardly outwardly spaced from the stationary pivot to move bin 2 from upper position U to lower position L.
  • the lever means or levers include a pair of coacting parallel lever bars 19,19, e.g. of L-shaped profile, at each bracket 9, which are fixed at a corresponding pair of parallel stationary pivots 20,20 to the adjacent brackets 9, and which are fixed at a corresponding pair of parallel floating pivots 21,21 to the adjacent lateral sides 14 of bin 2, so as to form a parallelogram lever and pivot linkage system.
  • inclined bottom side 15 is desirably formed as a gravity feed sliding surface adjacent lower opening 17 to aid dispensing of items I, and the lower margin of lower opening 17 is provided with a generally vertically extending lip 23 to prevent items I adjacent inclined bottom side 15 from falling out through lower opening 17.
  • Brackets 9 are also suitably provided with angle members 28 to which they are adjustably attached by screws 29 or the like fitting in bracket inclined slots 30, angle members 28 in turn being attached by further screws 29 to hook clips 31 which engage in vertical slots 32 in columns 5 to mount brackets 9 adjacent panel 6 on support 4 in conventional manner (Fig. 4).
  • Upwardly open tray 3 is favorably forwardly outwardly and downwardly inclined to display its merchandise contents to best advantage, and thus conveniently has a forwardly and downwardly inclined top side 40 which provides for accommodating items D in tray 3 in orderly arranged, upstanding and front-facing, disposition within the confines of tray volume V.
  • tray 3 is sized relative to bin 2 such that it forwardly outwardly terminates in a front edge 41 which is located generally vertically below bin front side 12, e.g. in vertical alignment therewith or even extending slightly outwardly of front side 12 for more immediate consumer access to items D thereon (Fig. 2).
  • the distance of front edge 41 from support 4 is related to the linkage 10 composite radial distance from the parallel stationary pivots 20 to the parallel floating pivots 21 of parallel lever bars 19, and the extent of the pivotal arc path of travel in the direction of arrow A from the vertical disposition of bars 19 to their inclined disposition in laterally abutting contact with each other when bin 2 swings from upper position U to lower position L, whereby when bin 2 is at lower position L its rear side 13 is forwardly outwardly spaced not only from support 4 but also from front edge 41 of tray 3 sufficiently to clear tray 3 at least by a nominally small horizontal increment.
  • tray 3 is provided in the form of a forwardly and downwardly inclined pull-out drawer 44 mounted on the pair of opposed vertically extending lateral walls 11 by conventional expandable telescoping drawer slides 45,45 pivotally connected at their rear end portions to the rear portions of walls 11 about a laterally extending generally horizontal pivot axis defined by pivots 46,46.
  • Walls 11 are of similar construction to bin brackets 9 but may be longer, and preferably have inwardly directed upper flanges 47,47 and lower flanges 48,48 for added strength and to accommodate the lateral sides of drawer 44 within their track-like linear confines, as well as a laterally reinforcing rear crossbar 49.
  • Fig. 5 further shows the construction and arrangement of walls 11 in relation to columns 5 and panel 6 of support 4.
  • walls 11 are also suitably provided with angle members 28 to which they are adjustably attached by screws 29 or the like fitting in wall inclined slots 50, with angle members 28 in turn being attached by further screws 29 to hook clips 31 which engage in vertical slots 32 in columns 5 to mount walls 11 the desired distance vertically below brackets 9 on support 4 in conventional manner.
  • Drawer 44 is suitably attached by front connections 51,51 and rear connections 52,52 to slides 45 for common outward and inward movement therewith relative to stationary walls 11.
  • the front end 53 of drawer 44 has an upwardly directed retaining lip 54, and favourably also has an upwardly directed vertical plate 55, e.g. of glass or clear plastic, connected at lip 54 and extending laterally along the width of drawer 44, for retaining items D therein in orderly arrangement as well as in full view for attractive presentation of items D to the consumer.
  • the rear end of drawer 44 is suitably formed as an upwardly directed rear wall 56 which is normally adjacent support 4 when drawer 44 is in closed disposition.
  • the front ends of walls 11 are provided with stops 57,57 for normally retaining inclined drawer 44 in closed disposition by contact with lip 54.
  • the store attendant need merely lift front end 53 over stops 57 by upward movement about pivots 46 to release the drawer for forwardly outward movement relative to walls 11 and support 4 to an extended position.
  • This step is undertaken, of course, when bin 2 is at upper position U (Fig. 2).
  • Suitable retaining means may also be provided, e.g. on walls 11, to engage a rear portion of drawer 44 when extended to prevent its unintended complete removal or dislodgement from walls 11, as the artisan will appreciate.
  • rear end wall 56 is disposed generally at least adjacent front side 12 of bin 2, i.e. when bin 2 is at upper position U, but may extend farther outwardly than front side 12 or even less than the horizontal point of front side 12, depending on the horizontal dimensions of brackets 9 and walls 11, and bin lateral sides 14, and of the distance between drawer front end 53 and rear wall 56. These dimensions and distances will be selected to permit unhindered filling of drawer 44 with items D, not merely in the vicinity of front end 53 but more desirably in the vicinity of rear wall 56.
  • drawer 44 is preferably intended to hold premium quality items D, especially edibles having a comparatively short shelf life in terms of freshness of product, and gravity feed system 43 is designed to favor consumer selection of the frontmost items D in drawer 44, so that in refilling drawer 44, the store attendant will add replacement items D at the rear of drawer 44 for more uniform dispensing of items D in succession, thus assuring a more constant fresh condition of the product inventory in this part of the display assembly.
  • gravity feed system 43 may be provided in the form of a series of forwardly and downwardly inclined laterally spaced apart parallel linear guides 58, e.g. wires, extending from rear wall 56 to front end 53 of drawer 44, on which individual weighted pusher members 59 having laterally opposed guideways 60,60, as shown in Fig. 6, may be mounted for sliding engagement between guideways 60 and an adjacent pair of guides 58. Being weighted, a given pusher member 59 will urge toward frond end 53 those items D in a given front to back row of upstanding and front-facing such items resting on adjacent guides 58 in drawer 44.
  • guides 58 e.g. wires
  • a corresponding series of side by side drawer dividers 61 may be arranged in front to back alignment in drawer 44, e.g. with their front ends having a laterally extending grooved clip 62 for mounting engagement with a front crosswire 63 joining the front ends of guides 57 in drawer 44, the rear ends thereof being jointed by a raised rear crosswire 64 forming a part of rear wall 56 (Fig. 5).
  • Dividers 61 may be of a height conforming collectively to the composite height of volume V on tray 3 (Fig. 2).
  • drawer 44 is conveniently formed mainly of guides 57 and crosswires 63 and 64 as a kind of cage suspended via connectors 51 and 52 on slides 45, thereby providing a relatively light-weight yet strong construction.
  • bin 2 may be about 100 cm (39.37 in) in lateral width along the retail store aisle, about 60 cm (23.62 in) in transverse depth to panel 6, and about 90 cm (35.4 in) in height between open top end 16 and closed bottom wall 15, with lower opening 17 having a vertical open height of about 23.2 cm (9.13 in) and with its upper margin located about 34.4 cm (13.53 in) from bottom wall 15 and its lower margin located about 11.2 cm (4.4 in) from bottom wall 15.
  • tray 3 or drawer 44 may have a lateral width of also about 100 cm, a height of about 18 cm at the rear end of walls 11, and may extend in horizontal direction about 54 cm, such than when drawer 44 is in extended position, the horizontal direction length is increased at least about 40-50 cm to about 90-104 cm.
  • This size drawer is able to accommodate about 36 kilograms of the contemplated premium product as items D.
  • Support 4 as a conventional gondola, may also be about 100 cm in lateral width, and is usually about 200 cm in height. This permits bin 2 to be mounted thereon so as to place lower opening 17 at about eye level height when bin 2 is at upper position U for ready access to items I by the consumer, and to place its open top filling opening 16 at about the same eye level height when bin 2 is at lower position L for ready access to fill bin 2 with replacement items I through top opening 16 (Figs. 3a and 3b). At the same time, this permits tray 3 to be positioned on support 4 a suitable vertical distance below bin 2 so that there is adequate clearance between the volume V of items D on tray 3 and the bottom side 15 of bin 2.
  • Bin 2 may be provided with dividers (not shown), similar to drawer dividers 61, vertically disposed in the interior of bin 2 in side by side laterally spaced apart parallel relation to prevent jamming of items I and allow for their more uniform travel through the hopper-like bin 2 from upper opening 16 to lower opening 17 and for more uniform successive removal, so as to avoid dead spaces in bin 2 and assure more constant dispensing of items I in their order of addition, i.e. in terms of first-in, first-out consumption of inventory, with a view to maintaining freshness of product by the hopper-like gravity feed supplying of items I to the consumer via lower opening 17.
  • Bin 2 and tray 3 are favorably composed metal parts, but may be made of other materials such as plastic, so long as sufficient structural strength is provided to achieve the functional purposes of assembly 1 and its individual components. Assembly 1 may be shipped in knocked down form and readily assembled on site by attachement to a given support 4, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5.
  • the present invention thus provides a merchandise display assembly permitting more efficient use of the available display area in a compact manner, since the main portion of the height of bin 2 when in upper position U is stored in an otherwise unused space above eye level, enabling the portion of the space below eye level to be used, not for storing large and bulky commodity items I, but instead for displaying and dispensing small premium items D in tray 3.
  • the main part of the inventory of bulky commodity items I that inherently take up a large space is placed in a relatively large bin 2 normally occupying the otherwise unused upper vertical space above eye level when in upper position U, more or less out of sight.
  • front side 12 of bin 2 immediately above lower opening 17 is available for posting merchandising information or the like, e.g. on a suitable sign attached to bin 2 thereat.
  • inclined tray 3 provides an attractive orderly display of premium items D and dispensing system 43 assures upstanding and front-face, high-visibility and identity, presentation of items D as well as first-in, first-out dispensing thereof, with ready access to the rear of tray 3 when in extended position to restock it with fresh items D to be dispensed in turn after the previous inventory of items D thereon has been selected by the consumer.
  • both bin 2 and tray 3 are designed to assure first-in, first-out or rotation dispensing of their displayed items, and on-going product freshness, as well as easy access for dispensing and for restocking. Consequently, storing of both types of items in the same space will tend to increase their selection by the consumer for more efficient space-to-profit utilization of this category of retail store items. It is estimated that this arrangement of bin 2 and tray 3 will increase volume by as much as 30%, while avoiding premature out-of-stock condition, for better use of the available store space and potential growth of sales of this category of product.
  • slots enable adjustability between the support posts 152 by allowing the relative attachment location between the support element 160, intermediate element 162 and securing element 164 to vary as desired by the length of the slots.
