Definitions

  • the invention relates to a product carrier system comprising a product carrier tray slidably mounted on a support member, which may be mounted on a structure for displaying retail products in a retail outlet.
  • each rod has a small plate arranged at one end thereof, the plate having generally four hook members oriented downwards that engages the holes or the longitudinal hook members of the rear plate. Retail products are offered for sale to customers by hanging on said rods through a slot arranged in their blister pack.
  • Such a system has some drawbacks.
  • Retail shops also often have structures of vertical and horizontal square section tube members on which are mounted boxes or trays. Retail products are offered for sale to customers by being disposed in said boxes or on said trays.
  • the invention provides a solution to this new problem.
  • Figure 1 shows schematically an example of a structure of the type used in retail shops that may receive rods or trays to hold retail products offered for sale to customers.
  • Structure 1 comprises four vertical tube members 2a, 2a', 2b, 2b' located each at the corner of an imaginary horizontal rectangle.
  • Two vertical tube members 2a, 2a' are located at the front - i.e. they are the nearest to customers - while two vertical tube members 2b, 2b' are located at the rear - i.e. they appear to customers to be located behind the two tube members 2a, 2a'.
  • Several horizontal tube members 3a extend between the two tube members 2a, 2a'.
  • Several other horizontal tube members 3b extend between the two tube members 2b, 2b'.
  • Tube members 3c extend between tube member 2a and tube member 2b on one lateral side of the structure and between tube member 2a' and tube member 2b' on the other lateral side of the structure.
  • Tube members 3a and 3b have generally a same square - or rectangular - cross section.
  • Structure 1 also comprises a vertical perforated rear plate 4 having an array of horizontally and vertically aligned holes 5 over its major surface, said holes having all the same diameter.
  • Rear plate is located behind tube members 2b, 2b'.
  • rear plate 4 has an array of identical longitudinal members each in the form of an upwardly-open channel, i.e. its cross section is e.g. in form of a "U".
  • Structure 1 further comprises a longitudinal beam member 5 having a rectangular cross section. More particularly, the width of its rectangular cross section is generally equal to the width of the square - or rectangular - section of tube members 3a, 3b while the height of its rectangular cross section and/or its wall thickness is greater than this. Hence, beam member 5 may support more important loads than a tube member 3a or 3b.
  • front, rear, left and right - or lateral - will always refer to the same directions as those previously defined in reference to fig.1.
  • Fig. 2 and 3 show a product carrier tray 50 with its support member 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the invention wherein support member 10 is mounted on a tube member 3a of structure 1.
  • Product carrier tray 50 is slidably mounted on support member 10.
  • Product carrier tray 50 is only partly engaged on support member 10 in fig. 2 while product carrier tray 50 is completely engaged on support member 10 in fig. 3, i.e. product carrier tray 50 is in abutment on support member 10 in the sliding direction.
  • Product carrier tray 1 may advantageously comprise vertical walls 91a, 91b, 91c and pusher systems 92.
  • Support member 10 is shown in fig. 4.
  • Support member 10 comprises a plate 11, which is preferably flat.
  • Plate 11 has at one edge a channel portion 12.
  • Channel portion 12 defines a means for mounting support member 10 on structure 1 and plate 11 define a means for engaging slidably product carrier tray 50.
  • Plate 11 has two edges 16 substantially parallel to each other and extending preferably perpendicular to channel 13.
  • Channel portion 12 is preferably integral with plate 11.
  • Channel portion 12 has a cross section corresponding substantially to the cross section or to a part of the cross section of tube members 3a of structure 1.
  • Channel portion 12 is open in the downward direction.
  • support member 10 is mounted on a tube member 3a by inserting channel portion 12 on tube member 3a as can be seen in fig. 2 and 3.
  • Channel portion 12 is preferably defined by a first wall 13, a second wall 14 and a third wall 15 as follows.
  • First wall 13 is arranged on an edge of plate 11 and extends substantially perpendicular to plate 11 in upward direction.
  • a second wall 14 is arranged on the edge of first wall 13 and extends substantially perpendicular to first wall 13 in a direction opposite to plate 11.
  • a third wall 15 is arranged on the edge of second wall 14 and extends substantially parallel to first wall 14 in a downward direction.
  • Channel portion 12 is defined between first wall 13, second wall 14 and third wall 15.
  • Support member 10 is preferably made of metal in which case channel 12 may be formed by folding.
  • Channel portion 12 extends preferably along the whole length of the edge of plate 11 on which it is arranged. However, one will understand that channel portion 12 may be shorter or longer than this edge. Further, the walls of channel portion 12 may be interrupted on one or more parts over the length of channel portion 12, thus defining in fact several channel portions that are aligned.
  • Fig. 5 shows another embodiment of support member 10 - here identified by reference numeral 10' - wherein the means for securing support member 10' to structure 1 is different to the one of support plate 10.
  • Support member 10' is similar to support member 10, but channel portion 12 is omitted. Instead of channel portion 12, a flat plate 17 is arranged substantially perpendicular to the corresponding edge of plate 11.
  • support member 10' may form an angle bracket, which may be obtained by folding a flat plate of e.g. metal, as shown in fig. 5.
  • Four parallel hook members 18 are arranged on the front surface of plate 17, i.e. on the surface opposite to plate 11. Hook members 18 are oriented downwards.
  • FIG. 6a schematically shows a partial side view of support member 10' mounted on rear plate 4 having an array of holes.
  • rear plate 4 is of the type having an array of identical longitudinal members each in the form of an upwardly-open channel
  • the dimensions and shape of hook members 18 as well as the distance between them are adapted to each engage a longitudinal channel of the array of rear plate 4, whatever the mounting location of support member 10' on rear plate 4 is.
  • support member 10' may be mounted on structure 1 by engaging hook members 18 into holes or longitudinal members of rear plate 4 whichever is relevant.
  • FIG. 6b schematically shows a partial side view of support member 10' mounted on rear plate 4 where the latter has an array of identical longitudinal members each in the form of an upwardly-open channel, said longitudinal being identified by reference numeral 4a.
  • FIG. 7 shows still another embodiment of support member 10 - here identified by reference numeral 10".
  • Support member 10" is identical to support member 10, except that four hook members 18' - similar to hook members 18 of support member 10' - are arranged on third wall 15.
  • support member 10" may either be mounted on a tube member 3a, 3b with the help of channel portion 12 or on rear board 4 through hook members 18'.
  • Hook members 18' may be directly arranged on wall 13 by e.g. welding.
  • hook members 18' may be removable from wall 13 when support member 10" is intended to be mounted on tube members 3a, 3b.
  • hook members 18' may be fixedly arranged on a plate 15a e.g. by welding.
  • Plate 15a is removably secured to wall 15 by means of e.g. two screws 19 - with preferably countersunk heads to be flush with surface of plate 15a - and passing through corresponding holes in plate 15a and wall 15 behind which they engage a respective nut.
  • Fig. 8 shows product carrier tray 50.
  • Product carrier tray 50 comprises an upper plate 52 the upper surface of which is meant to receive the retail products.
  • a channel forming a slideway 51 is arranged under upper plate 52.
  • Channel 51 is preferably defined between upper plate 52 and a lower plate 53 spaced apart from upper plate 52.
  • the width of lower plate 53 is preferably substantially equal to the width of upper plate 52.
  • the left edge of upper plate 52 is connected to the left edge of lower plate 53 by a wall 54a.
  • the right edge of upper plate 52 is connected to the right edge of lower plate 53 by a wall 54b.
  • walls 54a, 54b define channel 51 in the lateral direction.
  • plate 53 is replaced by two plates 55 being less wide than plate 53, as shown in fig. 9.
  • Each plate 55 is arranged on a respective one of lateral walls 54a, 54b and extends under plate 52 substantially parallel to plate 52.
  • lateral walls 54a, 54b and plates 55 define two longitudinal L-shaped members along each lateral edge of plate 52.
  • slideway 51 is defined between plate 52 and plates 55 and between walls 54a, 54b.
  • longitudinal L-shaped members of fig.9 may be replaced by four or more L-shaped members 56 arranged under plate 52 as shown in fig. 10.
  • Two or more L-shaped members 56 are arranged on the left edge region under plate 52 and similarly two or more L-shaped members 56 are arranged on the right edge region under plate 52. So, slideway 51 is defined between plate 52 and the base of each L-shaped members 56 and between the vertical legs of the L-shaped members 56.
  • the cross section of slideway 51 substantially corresponds to the cross section of plate 11 of support member 10.
  • product carrier tray 50 may be mounted slidably on support member 10 by inserting plate 11 into slideway 51 as can be seen in fig. 2 and 3.
  • the upper surface of upper plate 52 is advantageously flush with wall 14 of support member 10 in case it has a channel portion 12 for mounting it to tube members 3a.
  • the whole height between two consecutive horizontal tube members 3a may substantially be used for placing retail products on product carrier tray 50 - the thickness of wall 14 may be very thin, e.g. less than 2 mm when made in metal.
  • Support member 10 is generally mounted on a tube member 3a with plate 11 extending towards the rear of structure 1, thus product carrier tray 50 extends from the tube member 3a towards the rear of structure 1, i.e. towards tube members 3b.
  • Slideway 51 preferably extends through substantially the whole length of product carrier tray 50 and is open at both extremities.
  • support member 10 may be engaged in channel 51 either by the front side of product carrier tray 50 as shown in fig. 2 and 3, or by the rear side of product carrier tray 50. The latter possibility is of interest when it is wished to mount support member 10 on a tube member 3b.
  • support member 10 is mounted on a tube member 3b by engaging channel 13 on it, plate 11 extending towards the front of structure 1, i.e. towards tube members 3a.
  • product carrier tray 50 is engaged by support member 10 by its rear side.
  • Support plate 10 may similarly be mounted on longitudinal beam member 5 of structure 1 provided that the cross section of channel portion 12 corresponds to its width.
  • product carrier tray 50 - here identified by reference numeral 50' - has two, or even more, parallel slideways 51a, 51b instead of one sole slideway 51.
  • Slideways 51a, 51b are preferably located under plate 52 and are laterally spaced apart of each other as shown in fig. 11.
  • Slideways 51a and 51b have preferably the same cross section.
  • each slideway 51a and 51b is defined as a channel similarly to channel 51 previously described.
  • slideways 51a and 51b may also be defined with help of longitudinal L-shaped members or with help of a plurality of narrow L-shaped members similarly to slideway 51 already described.
  • Product carrier tray 50' is mounted on a tube member 3a or a tube member 3b in a similar way as in the previous embodiment, except that two support members are used instead of one sole support member 10.
  • the two support members are similar to support member 10, except that they are less wide. Indeed, the cross section of plate 11 of these two support members corresponds now substantially to the cross section of slideways 51a and 51b. Thus, one support member may engage slidably slideway 51a and the other support member may engage slidably slideway 51b.
  • these two support members have each a respective means for mounting them on structure 1 that is similar to the one of support member 10.
  • product carrier tray 50 has a wide slideway 51 on its front side as shown in fig. 8 and two narrow slideways 51a and 51b of the type shown in fig. 11 on its rear side.
