Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a self-facing merchandise pusher system suitable for use in presenting products on shelves in retail stores.
  • the system of the present invention is modular and can be fitted to existing shelving units of substantially any size.
  • Products in many retail stores are presented to the customer on shelves. In order to present the products in a neat manner and to create the look of a well-stocked store products are usually faced. Facing involves positioning all of the products at the front of the shelves in a neat and organised manner.
  • Pusher systems typically use a spring-urged pusher positioned behind the products to push them towards the front of the shelf.
  • each pusher is positioned between dividers that keep each product in the proper alignment.
  • Pushers typically push products towards the front of a shelf by means of spring action.
  • a pusher may have a spring formed between a rear face and a back of a shelf.
  • the present invention provides a modular pusher system for facing products on a shelf, the system comprising:
  • the pusher system of the present invention is advantageous in that it is a modular system that can be easily retrofitted on existing shelving units. It can be mounted on existing shelving units or individual shelves of substantially any size in a simple manner. This can be achieved by providing components of different sizes, for example dividers and back rails of different lengths. The system does not require specially constructed shelves. Further, the system of the present invention can be easily constructed and removed as and when is required.
  • the system of the present invention can be used with products of a variety of sizes. As discussed below this can be achieved by mounting the dividers and front retainers at different spacings, by providing pushers of different sizes or widths, and/or by providing components of different sizes.
  • the system of the present invention may be mounted on a shelf in the following manner.
  • the front retainers are mounted at a front edge of a shelf and the back rail is mounted on the shelf in a position parallel to the front edge of the shelf and at a distance from the front edge of the shelf.
  • the back rail and the front retainers may be mounted in any manner apparent to a person skilled in the art.
  • the back rail and the front rail are removably mounted but in some embodiments of the invention they may be permanently mounted.
  • each divider is mounted between a front retainer and a back rail.
  • a front end of each divider is mounted to a front retainer and a rear end of each divider is mounted to the back rail.
  • the dividers are mounted to be parallel to one another and to be perpendicular to the front edge of the shelf and the back rail. In this manner channels extending back from the front edge of the shelf are formed between adjacent dividers. The channels are perpendicular to the front edge of the shelf and the back rail. The width of the channels can be controlled by positioning the dividers and the front retainers appropriately.
  • the dividers may be mounted to the front retainers and the back rail in any manner apparent to a person skilled in the art.
  • a pusher is mounted in each channel such that it is biased towards the front edge of the shelf by its spring means. Finally, products can be placed in the channels between the pusher and the front retainers.
  • the front retainers are formed to hold the products in position adjacent the front edge of the shelf but to allow the products to be easily removed from the shelf by a consumer. When a product is removed from a channel the pusher acts to push the remaining products in the channel to the front of the channel and thereby faces the products.
  • a system according to the present invention can be removed from a shelf by reversing the above-procedure.
  • the system of the present invention may further comprise a low-friction glide mat for positioning on the upper surface of the shelf wherein when the system is constructed on a shelf the glide mat is positioned between the upper surface of the shelf and the other components of the system.
  • a low-friction glide mat may be advantageous in that it can allow both the pusher and products positioned in the channels of the system to be more easily slid along the shelf as they only need slide along a low-friction surface, rather than the upper surface of the shelf.
  • a low-friction glide mat may be formed of any appropriate material and in any manner that provides a mat with a low-friction upper surface.
  • the mat may have a PTFE coated upper surface.
  • a glide mat according to the present invention may have an upper surface with a coefficient of friction of less than 0.3. More preferably, a glide mat according to the present invention will have an upper surface with a coefficient of friction of less than 0.15.
  • a glide mat may be permanently mounted on the upper surface of the shelf. However, as for the other components of the system it is preferable that the glide mat is removable.
  • a glide mat may be held in position on a shelf at a front edge by the front retainers and at a rear edge by the back rail. The glide may be further held in position by the dividers and the pushers when they are appropriately mounted.
  • a glide mat of the present invention may comprise longitudinal channels formed on an upper surface and oriented to extend parallel to the dividers and channels of the system this can reduce the surface area of the mat that is contact with products positioned in the channels and thereby reduce the force required to push the products to the front of the channel. As these channels are parallel to the direction in which products are pushed they should make facing products to the front edge of the shelf easier. If the glide mat has longitudinal channels formed on an upper surface in this manner then a lower surface of each pusher may have cooperatively formed longitudinal channels to help maintain the pushers in the correct orientation within each channel. In particular, forming the pusher and the glide mat with cooperative longitudinal channels can prevent the pusher from twisting within a channel as it is pushed towards the front of a channel. A further advantage of forming longitudinal channels in an upper surface of the glide mat is that the channels can be used to position a lower edge of the dividers and thereby maintain the dividers in the correct position.
  • the back rail of the present invention may comprise magnetic mounting means for mounting the rail on an upper side of a shelf. This is appropriate if the shelf is formed of magnetic materials or has magnetic components that allow such mounting. If the back rail comprises magnetic mounting means then a glide mat may be positioned between the back rail and the shelf when the system is in use and held in position by the magnetic mounting of the back rail on the shelf.
  • the dividers of the present invention may be mounted in the back rail in any manner apparent to the person skilled in the art.
  • the back rail may comprise a plurality of slots formed therein for mounting a cooperative rear portion of the dividers.
  • Slots may be provided at any suitable intervals that allow channels of appropriate widths to be formed between adjacent dividers. Slots may be provided at regular intervals at a spacing from 2mm to 5mm thereby allowing channels to be formed of widths equal to multiples of these intervals. For example, if slots are provided at 3mm intervals than the width of the channels can be adjusted by multiples of 3mm as required.
  • the dividers of the present invention may be formed of any suitable material.
  • the dividers may be formed of sheet metal.
  • the spring means of the pusher may be substantially any means suitable for biasing the pusher towards the front retainers whilst still allowing products to be positioned between the pusher and the front retainers.
  • the spring means may be a variable force spring that is attached at an outer end to either a front retainer or at or near a front end of a divider and that is attached at an inner end to the pusher.
  • the pusher may further comprise a removable plate formed on a front side to allow the pusher to better push products to the front of a channel.
  • a removable plate may be required to push particularly tall or large items such that a pushing force is provided over a sufficient area of the product to push it forward whilst maintaining it in the correct orientation relative to a shelf.
  • a removable plate may be particularly useful for tall products that otherwise might fall over if they were only pushed at a lower portion.
  • the front retainers of the present invention act to hold the dividers in position and thereby form the channels in which products can be positioned. They also act to hold the products in position at the front edge of the shelf and prevent them being pushed off the shelf. They are also formed to allow customers to remove products from the shelf without difficulty.
  • the front retainers may be formed in any manner that achieves all of these functionalities.
  • each front retainer is substantially formed of a transparent material such as a transparent polymer. It may also be advantageous that each front retainer is substantially formed as a unitary injection moulded component.
  • the front retainers may be mounted to the front edge of a shelf in any manner apparent to a person skilled in the art. However, it is preferable that the front retainers are formed to be mounted to the front edge of a shelf without the need for additional fixing means, such as a secondary rail system. In order to allow this the front retainers may be formed to be mounted and held in position in a slot formed in a front edge of a shelf. This can be achieved by forming each front retainer with a cooperatively sized vertical mounting plate that can be positioned in a slot in a front edge of a shelf.
  • the mounting plate may be provided with fixing means such as a plurality of resilient gripping ridges on one or both sides of the mounting plate.
  • Front retainers formed in this manner will be resiliently but removably held in a slot formed in a front edge of a shelf.
  • Many existing retail shelving units are formed with suitable slots in their front edges, for example to allow positioning of product labelling.
  • a dividers may be mounted to a front retainer in any suitable manner.
  • a divider will be fixed to a front retainer in a secure but removable manner i.e. a manner that securely holds the divider in position but that still allows the divider to be removed from the front-retainer when required.
  • each front retainer has a vertically oriented slot for mounting a front end of a divider therein.
  • a divider may be cooperatively formed to engage with a slot in a front retainer.
  • the vertically oriented slot and/or the front end of each of the dividers comprises locking means for locking the front of the divider in position within the slot.
  • Suitable locking means may comprise a resilient tab formed on one of the front end of the divider or the vertically oriented slot and a cooperating formed recess formed on the other of the front end of the divider and the vertically oriented slot.
  • any locking means will be temporary such that a divider may be capable of being removed from a front retainer when required.
  • the pushers of the present invention may be mounted as part of the system in any suitable manner. It may be preferable that the pushers are mounted to one or both adjacent dividers in order to hold them in position and to ensure they move along a channel smoothly.
  • each pusher and each divider may be formed such that a pusher can be cooperatively mounted in a divider such that the pusher is movable between the rear end and the front end of the divider.
  • a pusher and a divider may be cooperatively mounted in any manner apparent to a person skilled in the art, for example each divider may have a longitudinal aperture extending substantially from a front end to a rear end for mounting a cooperatively formed protrusion of the pusher therein.
  • the protrusion of the pusher may be slotted in the longitudinal aperture of the divider to allow the pusher to move longitudinally relative to the divider but to prevent movement in all other directions.
  • the spring means of the pusher is a variable force spring that is fixable at an outer end to a front end of a divider to thereby bias the pusher along the slot towards the front end of the divider.
  • Figure 1 Part of an embodiment of a modular pusher system according to the present invention is shown in Figure 1 .
  • the part of the system shown in the Figure comprises a front retainer 1, a pusher 2, a back rail 3, and a divider 4. These components are shown individually in Figures 2 to 5 .
  • the complete system mounted in position on an upper side of a shelf is shown in Figure 6 .
  • the system is used to position and products (not shown), i.e. to face products, on a shelf.
  • the system when in use the system comprises a plurality of front retainers 1, pushers 2, and dividers 4 and a glide mat 5.
  • Figure 1 shows only a single front retainer 1, pusher 2, and divider 4 and omits the glide mat 5.
  • the front retainer 1 is substantially formed as a unitary injection moulded component of transparent polymer.
  • the front retainer 1 has a vertically oriented mounting plate 10 formed at a front side for mounting the front retainer in a slot formed at a front edge of a shelf.
  • the mounting plate 10 has a plurality of resilient gripping means 11 formed on each side to hold the mounting plate 10 firmly in position in the slot.
  • the front retainer 1 has vertical front retaining plates 12, 13 that are formed above and substantially parallel to the mounting plate 10. When in use, the retaining plates 12, 13 act to hold products in position at the front edge of the shelf until removed by a consumer.
  • the retaining plates 12, 13 extend to approximately 40% of the height of a divider 4 mounted in the front retainer 1.
  • the front retainer further comprises a vertical orientated slot 14 for holding a divider 4.
  • the slot 14 extends perpendicular to the mounting plate 10 and the retaining plates 12, 13 and comprises a resilient tab 15 for locking a divider in position 4.
  • the front retainer 1 further comprises a horizontally extending portion 16 that extends over a front portion of the shelf when the retainer is positioned in the shelf to hold the glide mat 5 in position on the shelf.
  • the horizontally extending portion 16 is formed at an upper end of the mounting plate 10 and at a lower end of the retaining plates 12, 13 and the slot 14.
  • a pusher 2 is shown in Figure 3 .
  • the pusher 2 has a vertical pushing face 20 at a front side and a mounting protrusion 21 at a first side.
  • a lower side 22 of the pusher 2 is formed to sit on the glide mat 5 between adjacent dividers 4 and allow the pusher to be pulled along the glide mat 5.
  • the pusher 2 is mounted in an adjacent divider 4 by means of the mounting protrusion 21 being mounted in a longitudinally extending slot 41 formed in the divider.
  • the pusher 2 is biased towards a front end of the system by means of a variable force spring 23 that can be seen in Figure 1 .
  • An outer end of the spring 23 is fixed to a divider 4 adjacent a front end of the divider.
  • An inner end of the variable force spring 23 is mounted to the pusher 2.
  • a back rail 3 is shown in Figure 4 .
