Description
PRODUCT DISPLAY RACK AND SYSTEM
BACKGROUND
100011 The present disclosure relates to product display racks that are configured to be positioned over a pallet, and to store and display products thereon.
More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a system including a plurality of such product display racks that are able to be connected to an adjacent product display rack.
100021 Typically, in retail environments, for example, floor/shelf space is limited and the retailers attempt to maximize the amount of products they can store/display in their retail space. Additionally, it is often desired to display related products together.
For example, a retainer may wish to display snack crackers or chips near bottles of soda, as these items are often purchased together.
100031 In certain types of retail environments, items for purchase are displayed on pallets (e.g., shipping pallets). Such pallet displays are often desired as they negate the need for unloading products therefrom and repositioning the products elsewhere.
Further, the items shipped/displayed on pallets are often quite heavy. Thus, vertically stacking pallets makes the products that are below the top-most pallet unattainable by a customer, thus wasting valuable retail space. Further, by not placing any product above a pallet, that valuable space, which is accessible to a consumer, is wasted.
100041 Further, not only is vertical space at a premium in retails environments, but floor space is also extremely valuable. Therefore, shipping pallets are often lined up i as close to one another as possible to enable the retailer to maximize the number of pallets that can be displayed.
100051 Thus, the product display rack or pallet bridge of the present disclosure helps maximize the valuable vertical space and horizontal space in a retail environment, for example.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[000301 Embodiments of the presently disclosed product display rack are described in detail with reference to the drawings wherein like numerals designate identical or corresponding elements in each of the several views. In the descriptions that follow, the term "proximal," as is traditional, will refer to the portion of the expandable rack and/or shelves which is closer to the user (e.g., consumer), while the term "distal"
will refer to the portion which is farther from the user.
1000311 With reference to the accompanying figures, product display rack 10 is illustrated in FIGS. 1-5. Rack 10 includes a first support 100, a second support 200, and a product-supporting portion or bridge 400. First support 100 includes a lower portion 110, an intermediate portion 120, and an upper portion 130. Likewise, second support 200 includes a lower portion 210, an intermediate portion 220, and an upper portion 230.
Lower portions 110,210 of first support 100 and second support 200, respectively, are shown including casters or wheels 470 to help facilitate movement of rack 10, however, it is also envisioned that lower portions 110, 210 lack casters or wheels 470. As can be appreciated, lower portions 110 and 210 (whether including casters or not) rest on a supporting surface (e.g., the floor of the retail space) and are relatively narrow (in the direction arrow A-A in Figure 3), which helps minimize the distance between adjacent pallets "P," thus helping to maximize available display space. In disclosed embodiments the width "w" of lower portions 110 and 210 and/or casters 470 is between about 0.5 inches and about 2.0 inches (e.g., equal to about 1.0 inches).
1000321 Bridge 400 interconnects first support 100 and second support 200.
More particularly, a first lateral side 401 of bridge 400 is attached to (or is configured to attach to) upper portion 130 of first support 100, and a second lateral side 402 of bridge 400 is attached to (or is configured to attach to) upper portion 230 of second support 200.
Additionally, bridge 400 includes a surface 405 for storing/displaying products. As can be appreciated, surface 405 may be flat, inclined, declined, stepped, etc. (or any combination thereof) to suit a particular purpose.
1000331 With particular reference to Figures 2-5, a product display system 500 is shown, which includes a plurality of bridges and a plurality of supports.
While three supports (i.e., first support 100, second support 200, and a third support 300) and two bridges (i.e., bridge 400 and second bridge 410 are shown), system 500 may include any number of supports and bridges (e.g., where the number of supports is one more than the number of bridges). System 500 utilizes a single support (e.g., second support 200, as shown), to help support two different bridges (e.g., bridge 400 and second bridge 410, as shown), thus minimizing the amount of floor space required.
1000341 With particular reference to Figure 4, bridges 400, 410 include a bracket 420 on each lateral side. A horizontal portion of bracket 420 is secured to the bridge by conventional means, and a vertical portion of bracket 420 is securable to a lateral surface of a support 100, 200, or 300. Further, it is envisioned that the vertical portion of bracket 420 and/or the support is pre-drilled to allow conventional fastening means (e.g., nuts and bolts) to simplify attachment therebetween. With continued reference to Figure 4, bridges 400, 410 may also include an attachment feature 430 thereon to help facilitate attachment between the bridge and the support.
1000351 The embodiment illustrated in the Figures (see Figure 4) also includes bridges 400, 410 including a proximal product-supporting portion 440, a distal product-supporting portion 450, and a separator 460 disposed therebetween. It is envisioned that proximal product-supporting portion 440 can display a first type of product (e.g., salsa), and that distal product-supporting portion 450 can display a second type of product (e.g., chips). As can be appreciated, having such related products displayed nearby each other (and nearby the products (e.g., soda) displayed on pallets "P") may benefit the retailer and/or the consumer.
[000361 In the illustrated embodiments, each of first support 100, second support 200 and third support 300 are substantially identical to each other, and bridge 400 and second bridge 410 are substantially identical to each other. These features can help with the manufacture, shipment and/or assembly of system 500.
100037] With particular reference to Figure 5, in use, system 500 can be positioned over a plurality of pallets "P" (two pallets are shown), with each pallet "P"
including various products (e.g., 2-liter soda bottles). More particularly, each support of system can be positioned next to a pallet "P" (or two pallets "P"), such that adjacent supports are straddling one pallet "P." Additionally, bridge(s) are usable to store other products (e.g., bags of chips) thereon.
[00038] With additional reference to Figure 5, a lateral portion of a support (e.g., a lateral portion 150 of first support 100 can be configured for displaying product information, including advertising information. That is, lateral portions of supports are shown having a surface (e.g., a flat surface), which facilitates/enables the placement of product information thereon. Additionally, as shown in Figure 5, a portion, e.g., a proximal portion 402, of bridge 400 may be configured for displaying product information.
[00039] In disclosed embodiments, each bridge 400, 410 includes a width "bw" of between about 40 inches and about 48 inches (see Figure 3). For example, the width "bw" may be approximately equal to 40 inches, 42 inches and/or 48 inches for positioning over pallets "P" of substantially the same dimension.
[00040] The present disclosure also relates to a method of displaying products utilizing the system 500 described herein.
1000411 The present disclosure also envisions the height of supports being adjustable (e.g., telescopically), and the width of bridges being adjustable (e.g., telescopically). The present disclosure also envisions more than one bridge disposed between adjacent supports.
100042] While embodiments of the disclosure have been shown in the figures, it is not intended that the disclosure be limited thereto, as it is intended that the disclosure be as broad in scope as the art will allow and that the specification be read likewise.
Therefore, the above description should not be construed as limiting, but merely as exemplifications of various embodiments. Those skilled in the art will envision other modifications within the scope and spirit of the claims appended hereto.
