Definitions

  • THIS invention relates to a merchandise display system.
  • the present invention seeks to address these drawbacks.
  • a merchandise display system comprising:
  • the engagement formations may be in the form of holes or grooves formed along the length of each anchor rail.
  • the engagement means may be in the form of a pair of tongues each provided at a spaced location from the other along the length of the elongate support.
  • a further intermediate anchor rail of the type summarised above may be provided and the/or each elongate support may be provided with a third tongue for engagement with one or more of the engagement formations in the intermediate rail.
  • two of the tongues are provided at or towards each end of the at least one support.
  • Each of these tongues preferably extends outwardly from the centre of the support.
  • the or each support preferably comprises a row of slots or notches extending along its length with the display arm comprising hook means engageable into one or more of the slots so that the height of the display arm can be adjusted in use.
  • Each anchor rail may have a channel section.
  • the display system may comprise a plurality of price display panels engageable removably in the channel sections of the anchor rails.
  • a merchandise display system comprises anchor rails 10, 12 and 14 which are mountable to an upright surface such as a wall in a shop, for example.
  • the anchor rails are mountable one above the other at a distance apart from each other.
  • Each anchor rail has a channel section as shown, defined by the opposed arms 16 of each channel in which a row of evenly spaced engagement formations in the form of holes or grooves, or in the illustrated case slots 18, are provided.
  • the slots 18 define a series of discrete and regular mounting locations as described more fully below.
  • any appropriate section of anchor rail could be utilised.
  • a rail having an L-shape in section could be utilised, or the anchor rail could comprise a length of flat strip in which the slots 18 have been provided.
  • Each rail is typically formed as a metal extrusion and is of indeterminate length. It could however be made of wood or some other material.
  • each rail is attached to the vertical surface (eg. a wall or partition) in a substantially horizontal disposition thereto at any convenient location.
  • the upper rail 10 might be attached to the wall or partition at a location three metres above the floor and the second intermediate rail 12 could be attached between the first rail 10 and the third lowest rail 14 at a location say two metres above the floor, with the lowest rail 14 being provided at a location one metre above the floor.
  • the lowest rail 14 might be provided to run just above a skirting board, for example, or along the floor with the rails above it being positioned as desired.
  • FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawings two embodiments of an elongate support for the merchandise display system are shown.
  • the first version 20 (on the left in the Figure) spans only between the upper and intermediate rails 10 and 12, respectively.
  • the second longer version 22 (on the right in the Figure) spans between all three rails and is supported at an intermediate location by the intermediate rail 12.
  • each support is provided with rail engagement means in the form of a pair of tongues 24 and 26 at or towards each end of the illustrated support
  • the tongues extend outwardly from the centre of each support towards each end of their respective support to engage at upper and lower mounting locations defined by the slots 18 in the anchor rails.
  • an intermediate tongue 28 is provided which engages in the corresponding slot 18 in the intermediate rail 12.
  • the supports can be mounted to the rails only at discrete and regular locations in a substantially vertical orientation to be held away and clear of the upright wall to which the anchor rails are attached.
  • the invention thus provides a display system which is capable of providing lateral adjustment and yet which ensures that upright supports can be spaced only at regular intervals to ensure a visually pleasing display of merchandise. Further, as the supports are held clear of the wall, marking of the walls is prevented.
  • the supports 20 and 22 can be fitted to the rails in the following manner.
  • the upper tongue 24 is engaged in a chosen hole 18 in an upper rail.
  • the version 20 of the support could, of course, be fitted to span between the rails 12 and 14, rather than the rails 10 and 12, as shown).
  • the tongue 24 is pushed upwardly to allow the lower tongue 26 (and in the case of the support 22, the tongue 28 as well) into a position vertically above a corresponding slot 18 in the lower rail 12 (or 14).
  • the support is then dropped so that the lower tongue 26 (and 28 as the case may be) can be engaged into position so that the support is held fast in an upright orientation to span between two or more of the anchor rails on the wall.
  • An enlarged view of the upper tongue 24 is given in Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings.
  • each support 20 and 22 can accept a large weight of merchandise.
  • the supports 20 and 22 are of hollow or solid elongate construction and are typically formed as metal extrusions. Along their length, a row of slots or notches is formed into which hook means 32 on the display arm 34 can be engaged. This allows the height of the display arm, on which shelves, hangers, brackets and the like can be supported (as shown in the pictorial side view of Figure 2), to be adjusted.
  • a stop formation 36 is optionally provided at the operatively outer end of the display arm 34 to prevent shelves or hangers mounted on the display arm from falling off the end.
  • a regular display of merchandise can be constructed. Adjacent each support or display arm, one of a series of pricing, size or "look" display panels 38 of appropriate material, such as a tough plastics, wood or PVC material, can be inserted into the channel sections of the anchor rails, as appropriate, to present the prices or other salient details of the merchandise on display.
  • appropriate material such as a tough plastics, wood or PVC material
