Definitions

  • Other systems include the use of a pusher system to push the product toward the front of the shelf as the product at the front of the shelf is removed.
  • the known pusher systems are typically mounted to a track and include a pusher paddle and a coiled spring to urge the product forward.
  • the track becomes obstructed with dirt or sticky materials that hinder the proper operation of the pusher system in the track.
  • the known pusher paddles may occasionally tip or bend backwards, thereby causing a binding of the pusher mechanism in the track. In those situations, the pusher mechanism may not properly push product toward the front of the shelf.
  • the pusher paddle may define a concave pushing surface for pushing cylindrical products, such as soft drink bottles or cans, and to keep the paddle centered on the track and behind the product.
  • the pusher paddle may define a flat pushing surface that may further include at its upper edge a curved rib or similar structure that can also be used to push cylindrical products.
  • the trays can be attached via a dovetail connection to form a shelf assembly. Additionally the dividers can be adjusted such that the width of the product rows can be adapted to receive different sized products.
  • a product management display system for merchandising product on a shelf that includes using a trackless pusher mechanism that travels along a surface on which product is placed and one or more dividers for separating product into rows is disclosed.
  • the one or more dividers may be attached and releasably engaged to a front rail. When the one or more dividers are not engaged and held in position to the front rail, the one or more dividers and product positioned on the display system may be moved in a lateral direction, or may be lifted away from the front rail. This permits ease of replanogramming of product on the shelf.
  • the one or more dividers may releasably engage to the front rail through the use of corresponding teeth, resilient surfaces, a locking tab, a locking bar, a cam and/or through a friction or press fit.
  • the at least one divider is (a) movable in a lateral direction parallel to the front rail and (b) secured in a direction perpendicular to the front rail when the at least one first projection of the front rail is engaged with the at least one recess of the divider and the at least one second projection of the front rail is in the first position.
  • the at least one divider is (a) fixed in the lateral direction parallel to the front rail and (b) secured in the direction perpendicular to the front rail when the at least one first projection of the front rail is engaged with the at least one recess of the divider and the at least one second projection of the front rail is in the second position.
  • the display system may include a pusher extender that increases the pushing surface of the pusher.
  • the pusher extender may define an elongated pusher body having a cavity.
  • the pusher extender may be configured to slide over the pusher wall via the cavity like a sleeve.
  • the pusher extender with an enlarged, substantially planar surface thereby creates an enlarged pushing surface for pushing larger products toward the front of the display system.
  • an adaptor 180 may be positioned on the surface 16.
  • the adaptor 180 may include one or more raised ribs 182 on which a product may sit.
  • the raised ribs 182 may extend longitudinally along the length of the adaptor 180.
  • the adaptor 180 may be a flat extrusion of plastic material (or any other suitable material) defining a planar surface 184 with the one or more ribs 182 extending outwardly from the planar surface 184.
  • the adaptor 180 may define a rounded end 185 and include a notch or cut-away portion 186 through which or across which the coiled spring may extend.
  • the trackless pusher mechanism 14 is shown mounted to the tray 12. As illustrated, the pusher mechanism 14 fits in the tray 12 between the dividers 18. End 29 of the coiled spring 30 extends through the notch in the pusher floor and mounts to the tray as described above. In use, the pusher mechanism 14 will slide along the surface 16 of the tray 12 without the use of tracks, rails, or guides. As depicted in FIG. 2 , the pusher mechanism 14 is shown in a forward position.
  • multiple trays 12 may be formed into a single multi-tray assembly 80.
  • the multi-trays may have a common floor with dividers 18 extending upwardly from the floor to create the multiple trays or rows.
  • the product-retaining member 44 may be a solid member that extends between two dividers, as discussed above.
  • One or more of the multi-tray assemblies 80 may be coupled or joined together in a side-by-side manner using any known technique, including clips, dovetailing, fasteners, or the like. With this configuration, numerous rows of product can be provided for the merchandising of numerous products.
  • the trackless pusher mechanism 14 may be used with gravity-fed systems, that is, systems having trays or product channels that are mounted on an incline to permit gravity to assist with the merchandising of the product.
  • the trackless pusher mechanism 14 may be used with systems that are mounted in a non-inclined or in a horizontal manner where gravity will provide little or no assistance with the merchandising of the product.
  • the trackless pusher mechanism 14 may also be used to push various shaped products.
  • the connecting portions 272 When assembled, as depicted in FIG. 41C , the connecting portions 272 are received between the teeth 278 of the rails. Additionally, the elongated angled surfaces 268 and 270 and the projections 274 are wedged between the teeth 278. Also as shown in FIG. 41C , the elongated angled surfaces 268 and 270 engage the face surfaces 280, and the projections 274 engage the lower surfaces of the teeth 278. Flank surfaces 282 contact the connecting portion 272.
  • the trays 306 are provided with dovetail connections.
  • a first side 308 of the trays 306 is provided with tongues 312 adapted to fit within grooves 314 located on a second side 310 of the trays 306.
  • the grooves 314 are aligned with tongues 312 such that the tongues 312 are firmly secured within the grooves 314.
  • the barrier is not integral with or integrated with the divider. In another example, the barrier is configured to engage with the divider. In an example, the divider wall and the divider floor are separate devices from each other and are not integral with each other or part of a single integrated device. In an example, the divider wall and the divider floor are configured to engage with each other. In further examples, a barrier can be connected to the front rail 580 or comprise a portion of the front rail 580.
  • the teeth 588 or other engaging member of the front rail 580 can be spaced apart.
  • the teeth 588 or other engaging member of the front rail can engage the teeth 562 or other engaging member of the divider 550, which teeth 562 are illustrated in FIG. 63 , so as to prevent the divider from moving in a lateral direction parallel to the front rail 580.
  • the teeth 588 or other engaging member of the front rail 580 are engaged with the teeth 562 or other engaging member of the divider 550 and prevent the divider 550 from moving in the lateral direction shown by arrow "A" in FIG. 65 .
  • the term engaging member as used herein can mean a projection, recess, planar surface, near-planar surface, or other item of structure that can engage with another item of structure.
  • a merchandise display system includes a front rail 580 and at least one divider 550 configured to attach to the front rail 580, the at least one divider 550 including a barrier, a divider wall 552 extending in a direction perpendicular to the front rail, a divider floor 554 perpendicular to the divider wall 552, wherein the divider wall 552 separates the divider floor 554 into a first portion and a second portion and each of the first portion and the second portion are configured to hold product.
  • FIGS. 83A-C show a step by step process for insertion of the divider 550 into the front rail 580.
  • the divider 550 is lowered into a channel 640 formed in the front rail 580.
  • the front rail 580 includes a rotating rod 660 which itself includes teeth.
  • the teeth of the rotating rod 660 are in a first position in which they are not engaged with the teeth 600 of the divider 550.
  • the tongue 724 only has two cam walls.
  • a first cam wall such as first cam wall 726
  • a second cam wall is straight and spans the length shown by cam walls 728 and 730. There is no bend in the second cam wall in this example.
  • the cam walls can extend for one or more portions of the width of the divider 550 or can extend the entire width of the divider 550.
  • the cam 720 fits within a cavity 740 of the barrier 556, as illustrated in FIG. 86G .
  • the cavity 740 is bounded by side walls 742. Side walls 742 render the front of the cavity 740 slightly narrower than the width of cam 720. An amount of force is required to push cam 720 past side walls 742 and into cavity 740. After the cam passes the side walls 742 it snaps into place in the cavity 740. The cam 720 can then rotate in cavity 740 and will not fall out of cavity 740 or detach from cavity 740 during normal use.
  • the cam 720 is rotatably secured within cavity 740.
  • cavity 740 also is bounded at its front portion by a front wall (not shown).
  • the front wall 561 of groove 560 is textured, as shown in FIG. 86K .
  • This texturing can be in the form of roughening or small teeth.
  • the texturing causes the surface of the front wall 561 of groove 560 to not be smooth.
  • front wall 585 of ridge 584 or other protrusion or engaging member is textured, as depicted in FIGS. 86I, 86J , and 86L .
  • This texturing can be in the form of roughening or small teeth and causes the surface of front wall 585 of ridge 584 to not be smooth.
  • front wall 561 of groove 560 is not in contact with or not in consistent contact with front wall 585 of ridge 584 while the cam 720 is in the position shown in FIG. 87B and the tongue of cam 720 is not engaged with groove 750 of front rail 580.
  • the cam 720 is moved from a first position shown in FIG. 87B to a second position shown in FIG. 97C , and the tongue 724 engages with groove 750, the tongue can force the divider 550 to move backward.
  • tension between the tongue 724 and the groove 750 forces divider 550 to move in a rearward direction.
  • the divider 550 can be moved in a lateral direction parallel to the front rail and can allow for ease of replanogramming.
  • the divider 550 can move along the front rail.
  • the divider 550, with or without product on the divider floor 554, can be slid in the direction previously noted by arrow "A" in FIG. 65 , without requiring that the divider 550 be lifted up.
  • the rotating "T" lock 900 may be pushed forward and downwardly toward the front rail 580.
  • the rotating "T" lock 900 may engage with a lip 901 on a front portion of the front rail 580.
  • the front rail 580 includes a top front surface 902.
  • a merchandise display system includes a barrier that is moveable by rotation between a folded position and an upright position without the aid of, for example, a rotation biasing element (such as a spring loaded hinge) dedicated to biasing the barrier into the upright position.
  • a rotation biasing element such as a spring loaded hinge
  • FIGS. 95 through 106 Various example aspects of example systems that include a barrier that is moveable between a folded position and an upright position without the aid of a rotation biasing element are shown in FIGS. 95 through 106 .
  • the system includes a divider assembly 550 configured to be secured to a support structure.
  • a divider assembly 550 can also be referred to as a divider 550.
  • a support structure can include, for example, a front rail 580.
  • a force applied in the forward direction to a product positioned in contact with at least a portion of the rear surface 569 of the barrier 556 while the barrier is in the folded position can cause the barrier to rotate from the folded position to the upright position.
  • a product can be placed on the top surface 554a of the divider floor 554 while the barrier is in the folded position.
  • a force can be applied to the product to move the product in the forward direction toward the barrier, as shown by example in FIG. 99B .
  • the force is gravity.
  • the alignment flap 577 is configured to be positioned in between opposing divider walls of a merchandise display system such that the alignment flap aligns the product tray and the product stored in the product tray with the product pocket so that the product stored in the product tray can be slid from within the product tray, as shown in FIG. 101D , directly into the product pocket of the merchandise display system, as shown in FIG. 101E .
  • a portion of the alignment flap can be tapered toward the distal end to aid in insertion of the alignment flap between the opposing divider walls of the system.
  • the alignment flap can be used to move the barriers from the upright position to the folded position to facilitate sliding of the product from the product tray into the product pocket of the system.
  • the unbiased barrier 556 is configured so that product can be placed onto the divider floor 554 and allow for product to be restocked in a prompt manner.
  • a pusher 520 exerts a force on the product in the direction toward the front of the divider 550 and the front of the product shelf or other structure on which the divider 550 is residing.
