Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fixation device for releasable fixation of shelf accessories to a shelf.
  • the fixation device is particularly usable for fixation of different types of accessories to or in the proximity to the front edge of one and the same shelf.
  • the accessories to be fixed may include e.g. printed and/or electronic labels, sign holders, flags, holders for product samples and coupons as well as light sources for illuminating products and product information, etc.
  • the invention also relates to a system comprising such a fixation device.
  • product information such as price and content and also other information, e.g. promotional information and eye catching signs and flags are made easily accessible and visible to the customers.
  • price and content information has been displayed on printed paper labels which have been attached to the front edge of the shelves in proximity to the products in question. More recently, it has become increasingly common to display such product information at electronic displays, often referred to as electronic labels, which are attached to the front edge of the shelf.
  • elongate label holder strips which may be permanently fixed to the front edge of the shelves. These strips are normally formed as profile elements which are manufactured by extrusion of a polymer material. Typically, the length of the strips is adapted such that one strip, when mounted, extends over the entire length of a shelf or a shelf section.
  • the strips may be provided with transparent label pockets for allowing insertion of printed labels and/or with a fixation portion, the geometry of which allows for releasable fixation of holders for electronic labels, signs flags and the like.
  • the strips thus provides for that several printed labels and/or electronic labels and other accessories may readily be attached, one next to the other, at any desirable position along the front edge of the shelf. Each label and other accessory may also readily be removed and repositioned to any desirable position.
  • the height of the strip maybe limited such that the strip does not essentially project above or beneath the upper or lower edge of the shelf in question.
  • a further important aspect of such strips is that they allow good visibility and readability of the information fixed hereto, irrespective of at which height the shelf in question is positioned. This aspect is particularly important at fixation of electronic labels, since such labels normally have a limited viewing angle.
  • WO 01/78043 discloses a mounting system for arranging label holders in optional positions along the front edge of a shelf. It comprises a supporting profiled strip with a mounting part intended to be mounted to a front edge of a shelf and an attachment part which is fixed in relation to the mounting part and adapted for detachable fixation of label holders.
  • the label holders have a height which is greater that the height of the profiled strip and a hinge such that they may be temporarily pivoted up in front of the profiled strip for allowing access to product placed on the shelf below.
  • EP 1405 651 B1 discloses a similar profiled strip having a mounting part intended to be mounted to the front edge of a shelf provided with a row of mounting openings and a second part which is formed as a label holder pocket or for supporting separate label holder pockets. Also at this arrangement the second part is fixed in relation to the mounting part.
  • Wo 2007/073294 A1 discloses a device for simultaneous fixation and release of a plurality of shelf accessories to a shelf.
  • the device comprises an elongate channel element which is adapted to be fastened to the front edge of a shelf.
  • the channel element comprises a channel adapted to receive mounting feet of a plurality of accessories and a fixing element which is pivotally connected to the channel element.

  • a fixation device which, in its entirety, may readily be manufactured as a single piece, e.g. by extrusion of a polymer material.
  • the single piece construction facilitates and reduces cots for manufacturing, storing and transportation as well as for installation and daily use at site of the fixation device.
  • the first and second fixation portions allow for that two different types of accessories may readily be fixed to a shelf by means of one and the same fixation device.
  • the second fixation means further allow for that each of the second accessories may individually be fixed in different positions relative to the fixation device and thereby relative to the shelf. This entails for a great advantage since it increases the flexibility in use of the fixation device and the system comprising the fixation device and various first and second accessories. Particularly, it facilitates the use different second accessories which may require to be positioned at different positions relative to the fixation device and the shelf, in order to function in the desired manner. Additionally it facilitates the adaption of the system for providing different visual appearances, which may be required in different environments or at different applications.
  • the arrangement of the second fixation portion and the second fixation means thus allows for that various mutually differing accessories may readily be fixed to a shelf by means of one and the same fixation device. Hence, the number of different components needed for setting up a fully equipped shelf may be kept at a minimum. This in turn facilitates and reduces the costs for manufacturing, distribution and mounting of the shelf accessory systems.
  • the second fixation means are adapted to allow fixation of the second accessory at different distances from the shelf, when the profile element is mounted to a shelf. This may be particularly advantageous when the second accessory is a holder for a light source, which may require to be positioned at a certain distance from the objects which are to be illuminated in order to give a satisfactory light distribution.
  • the second fixation portion may extend over essentially the entire length of the profile element.
  • the second fixation portion is arranged at the mounting portion.
  • the second fixation portion may comprise a second accessory channel portion defining an elongated longitudinally open channel.
  • the second fixation means may comprises at least one ridge.

  • the cross section of the first fixation portion may exhibit an upper edge portion and a lower edge portion, which edge portions form part of the first fixation portion's fixation means and maybe adapted to allow a plurality of fist accessories to be engaged by snap-fitting onto the first fixation portion.
  • At least one of the upper and lower edge portions may be convexly curved.
  • the first fixation portion may be pivotally connected to the mounting portion and movable relative to the mounting portion, between a first angular position and a second angular position.
  • the fixation device may comprise first angle retention means for retaining the first fixation portion in one of the first and the second angular position.
  • the fixation device may also comprise second angular retention means for releasable retention of the first fixation portion in the other of the first and second angular position.
  • the invention also concerns a system for releasable fixation of shelf accessories to a shelf, comprising a fixation device as described above, at least one first accessory which comprises first accessory engagement means, adapted to cooperate with the first fixation means for releasable fixation of the first accessory to the first fixation portion and at least one second accessory comprising second accessory fixation means adapted to cooperate with the second fixation means for releasable fixation of the second accessory to the second fixation portion.

  • the label holder portion 62 comprises a rear wall 67, a top wall 68 which project forwardly from an upper edge of the rear wall and a bottom wall 69 projecting forwardly from a lower edge of the rear wall 67.
  • An engagement flange 69' is arranged at the free end of the bottom wall and projects upwardly, towards the top wall 68.
  • the first accessory 60 may readily be fixed onto the first fixation portion 40 of the fixation device 1, by first positioning the upper curved edge 64 around the edge 45 of the first fixation portion 40 and then pressing the lower curved edge 65 towards the first fixation portion 40, such that lower curved edge 65 snaps around edge 46 into engagement. This results in a secure fixation of the first accessory onto the first fixation portion 40 of the fixing device 1. For releasing the first accessory 60 it is sufficient to pull the grip portion 66 forwardly by using a finger, whereby the resiliency of the lower curved edge 65 will allow this edge to snap free from its engagement.
  • the accessories When the accessories are hung in such a manner, they may very easily be repositioned along the fixation device 1, simply by using a finger or the like to push each accessory for displacing it along the fixation device 1, to any desired temporary or final position.

  • the first accessory 600 maybe fixed to the first fixation portion 40 by means of the upper curved edge 640 engaging upper edge 45 and lower curved edge 650 or intermediate curved portion engaging lower edge 46. It is thus possible to fix the first accessory 600 to the fixation device 1 at two different angular positions.
  • the distance between the lower curved portion 650 and the intermediate curved portion 651 corresponds to the angle between the first and second angular positions that the first fixation portion may assume relative to the mounting portion 20. This allows for that a sign, a flag or the like which is held by the second accessory 600 may be kept in e.g. a horizontal or vertical orientation irrespective of whether the first fixation portion 40 is positioned in its first or second angular position relative to the mounting portion and the shelf.
