Definitions

  • the present invention relates to merchandise display devices and, more particularly, to a merchandise display insert adapted to be positioned within a display case or drawer and maintain the organization of display merchandise.
  • a variety of consumer goods are merchandised in display cases which typically comprise a drawer or shelf werein the display merchandise is stacked in parallel rows within the drawer. As merchandise is selectively removed from the drawer, the stacks of merchandise often collapse rendering the merchandise unsightly for display purposes.
  • the present invention specifically addresses and alleviates the above referenced deficiency associated in the art by providing a merchandise display device which is adapted to continuously maintain the organized orientation of merchandise positioned upon a display surface. More particularly, the present invention comprises an insert sized to be positioned within a display case of drawer. One end of the insert is provided with a generally L-shaped base plate sized to permit a portion of the end included an anchor member adapted to be attached to the rear wall or bottom edge of the drawer shelf.
  • the anchor member and base plate are interconnected by an accordion-like extensible member which includes plural spring steel biasing clips positioned at each of its apexes.
  • the spring clips cause a biasing force to be applied to the extensible member to continuously urge the base plate toward the front wall of the display drawer.
  • the merchandise display device of the present invention is integrally formed of a molded plastic material and includes a pair of spring stops or shoulders formed at each of the apexes of the extensible member.
  • the inclusion of the spring stops permit the rapid mounting of the spring clips within the device in a single manual motion and maintains the same therein without the use of auxiliary retaining means.
  • the merchandise display device of the present invention is well suited for mass production, rapid assembly fabrication techniques which renders the resultant device cost effective.
  • the anchor member is formed to be attached to the rear wall of the display drawer.
  • two alternative embodiments of the anchor member permit the same to be attached to the rear edge of a display surface or merely contact the rear wall of the display shelf.
  • the merchandise display device or insert 10 of the present invention which may be placed within a display case or drawer 12 to maintain the stacked orientation of merchandise 14 positioned within the drawer 12.
  • the particular merchandise 14 depicted within the drawer 12 comprises a plurality of hosiery packages; however those skilled in the art will recognize that various other merchandise may be utilized with the present invention.
  • the display device 10 of the present invention is formed having a generally L-shaped base plate 20 having a horizontal leg portion 22 adapted to reside beneath a portion of the merchandise 14 and a vertical leg portion 24 adapted to provide a rigid wall for abuttment with one end of the merchandise stack.
  • the opposite end of the device 10 is provided with an anchor member 26 which in its embodiment as depicted in Figure 2, is formed to extend in a generally vertical direction and includes a bent-over flange or clip 28.
  • the bent-over flange 28 is sized to extend over the edge 31 of the rear wall of the display drawer 12 so as to detachably mount the device 10 within the drawer 12.
  • An extensible member 30 extends between the baseplate 20 and anchor member 26 and is preferably formed in an accordion-like configuration composed of angularly extending interconnected elongate segments. At each of the apexes 32, the member 30 is provided with a reduced cross-sectional dimension so as to form a hinge which permits the member 30 to be extended or compressed laterally between the base plate 20 and anchor member 26.
  • the entire insert 10 is formed of an integrally molded plastic material which is conducive to low-cost mass production fabricating techniques.
  • a pair of stops or protrusions 34 are formed on the extensible member 30 adjacent each of the apexes 32 which are designed to maintain plural generally V-shaped spring clips 40 therein.
  • the spring clips 40 are formed of a thin spring steel material and are adapted to constantly urge the member 30 into a laterally extended position.
  • the plural stops 34 are spaced from the apexes 32 of the member 30 through a distance slightly greater than the overall length of the spring elips 40 such that the spring clips 40 may be manually inserted into the member 30 merely by pressing the spring clips 40 downward toward the apexes 32.
  • the operation of the merchandise display insert 10 of the present invention may be described by referring to Figure 1.
  • the device 10 is positioned within the drawer 12 with the anchor member 26 being extended over the rear edge 31 of the drawer 12.
  • a user (not shown) must then manually press the base plate 20 toward the anchor 26 to overcome the biasing force of the spring clips 40 and cause the member 30 to be compressed laterally.
  • the merchandise 14 may then be inserted into the drawer 12 in a side-by- side orientation.
  • some of the merchandise 14 is positioned upon the horizontal leg portion 22 of the base 20 to thereby cause a weight force to be exerted upon the base plate 20 and insure that the horizontal leg portion 22 is continuously biased against the floor of the drawer 12.
  • the user may release the base plate 20 wherein the extensible member 30 automatically extends laterally outward under the biasing force of the spring clips 40 to cause the vertical leg portion 24 of the base plate 20 to contact the merchandise 14 and slightly compress the merchandise 14 and slightly compress the merchandise 14 within the drawer 12.
  • the extensible member 30 being continuously biased by the multiple spring clip 40 in an outward direction (as indicated by the arrow in Figure 2) as merchandise 14 is removed from the drawer 12, the remaining merchandise is compressed within the drawer and maintained in its stacked organized configuration.
  • the compression force exerted by the device 10 may be maintained within suitable limits to allow easy removal and restocking of the merchandise 14, yet be sufficient to cause a moderate compression of the merchandise 14 within the drawer.
  • the anchor member 26B is formed as a flat plate which is adapted to abutt the rear wall 31 of the display shelf 12.
  • the anchor member 26 B is continuously maintained tightly against the wall 31 of the drawer 12.
  • an additional embodiment of the anchor member 26C is depicted which is formed in a manner analogous to the embodiment shown in Figure 2 except that the anchor member 26C is formed to extend in a generally parallel orientation as viewed in Figure 5 (i.e. in a plane substantially parallel to the plane of the horizontal leg portion 22 of the base plate 20).
  • This additional embodiment of the base member 26C is specifically adapted to permit the device 10 to be attached to the lower support surface 52 of a display drawer or case 12 when the display case 12 does not include a rear wall panel.
