Definitions

  • the present invention relates to display trays, in particular display trays for displaying merchandise in retail stores.
  • Merchandise is often displayed in retail stores on fixed shelving units distributed over the retail floor in accordance with a fixed retail floor plan.
  • temporary display space for instance for displaying seasonal merchandise or merchandise that is temporary subject to additional promotion or merchandise with high rotation
  • display trays carrying the particular merchandise on the retail floor at locations where people will likely encounter the merchandise during shopping.
  • Such display trays are generally arranged in a stacked configuration in order to make efficient use of available retail floor space.
  • some types of merchandise allow for arranging on a first amount of merchandise that is carried by a first display tray of the stack of display trays, a subsequent display tray carrying a second amount of merchandise.
  • This method of providing the stack of display trays is advantageous in that it is easy in the sense that it merely requires arranging a subsequent display tray carrying merchandise thereon, on the merchandise arranged on and carried by the previous display tray. Furthermore, unstacking of the stack of display trays is easy, in the sense that it merely requires taking an empty display tray of the merchandise carried by the subsequent display tray.
  • Drawback is that this method of stacking display trays requires the merchandise to be able to carry the load of the all display trays and merchandise arranged thereon that are located higher in the stack of display trays. Furthermore, each time a display tray is empty, store personnel or even customers have to take the empty display tray from the stack of display trays in order to provide access to the merchandise that is carried by the subsequent display tray.
  • US 2015/257530 A , GV 25879 A , JP 2004 016377 A and BE 507 712 A show display trays and/or displays that require several parts involving additional support parts and/or require a relatively complex transition between a collapsed state and an extended state.
  • the present invention has as its object to provide an improved display tray that obviates or at least reduces one or more of the aforementioned problems.
  • the display tray according to the present invention comprises a carrier floor, and a support having a hinged end and a free end, wherein the support is at the hinged end thereof hingable connected to the carrier floor for rotation about an axis of rotation between an extended state and a collapsed state.
  • the display tray according to the invention allows for providing a stack of display trays wherein supports are arranged between subsequent display trays in the stack of display trays, wherein arranging the supports between subsequent display trays in the stack of display trays is relatively easy and quick.
  • arranging the supports between subsequent display trays in the stack of display trays merely requires rotating each support of one of the display trays into its extended state and arranging the subsequent display tray on the previous display tray such that the free end of each support of one of the display trays abuts the other one of the display trays.
  • Unstacking a thus formed stack of display trays according to the invention merely requires lifting each display tray from the stack of display trays until there is no stack anymore, and rotating the supports of the display trays into their collapsed state. Moving a support of the display tray according to the invention between its extended and its collapsed state is only by rotating the support about its axis of rotation. This is a simple movement that can be performed in little time and that is particularly suitable for automation.
  • the display tray provides the support having an abutment at its free end, and the display tray comprises an accommodation.
  • the abutment and accommodation have complementary shapes.
  • This preferred feature allows accommodating the abutment at the free end of the support of the display tray according to the invention in the accommodation of an identical display tray.
  • the complementary shapes of the abutment and accommodation allow the abutment and the accommodation to interact.
  • the complementary shapes are such that when the abutment of the support of a second, identical display tray is accommodated in the accommodation of the first display tray, rotation of the support of the first display tray is blocked.
  • This advantageous feature provides that arranging a first display tray according to the invention on a second identical display tray such that the free end of a support of the second display tray abuts the first display tray, in particular by accommodating the abutment of at the free end of the support of the second display tray in the complementary shaped accommodation of the first display tray, not only provides a stack of display trays, but additionally blocks rotation of the support of the first display tray about its axis of rotation. Consequently, no other movement of the support of the display tray according to the invention than rotation thereof and no other additional actions are required for locking the support in its extended state. Locking the support in its extended state contributes to the stability of the stack of display trays.
  • the complementary shapes are nesting shapes. Additionally or alternatively the complementary shapes are interlocking shapes.
  • the accommodation comprises a pair of facing abutment surfaces, wherein one of the pair of facing abutment surfaces is a surface of the support that at least partly is moved towards the other one of the pair of facing abutment surfaces when the support is rotated between the extended state and a collapsed state.
  • the other abutment surface of the pair of facing abutment surfaces is the surface of a tray body that comprises the carrier floor.
  • the support comprises two abutment surfaces, wherein one of the abutment surfaces of the support is one of the pair of facing abutment surfaces of the accommodation when the support is in the extended state, and the other one of the abutment surfaces of the support is one of the pair of facing abutment surfaces of the accommodation when the support is in the collapsed state.
  • the support comprises the accommodation.
  • the accommodation is arranged at the hinged end of the support.
  • the abutment comprises an abutment surface that is slanted relative to the longitudinal axis of the support, and the accommodation comprises a complementary abutment surface.
  • the support in the extended state, extends substantially perpendicular to the carrier floor, and in the collapsed state the support extends along the carrier floor.
  • the support is a one-piece body.
  • the support is plate shaped.
  • the support is hingable/hingedly connected to the carrier floor by means of a hinge that is configured for allowing rotation of the support post about a single axis of rotation and for restricting translation along and rotation about other axes of movement.
  • the display tray comprises a tray body comprising the carrier floor, wherein the tray body comprises a wall, preferably a side wall, perpendicular to the carrier floor; and the support is arranged on the wall, the hinge comprises the wall and a pen that extends perpendicular to the wall and through the support and that defines the axis of rotation of the support, and the support and the wall have respective surfaces that face each other and are in contact with each other.
  • the hinge further comprises an additional wall that extends parallel to the wall on the opposite side of the support, wherein the surface of the additional wall that faces the wall is in contact with a facing surface of the support.
  • the wall of the hinge is an abutment surface of the accommodation.
  • the additional wall is an abutment surface of the accommodation.
  • the display comprises a tray body comprising the carrier floor, wherein the tray body has adjacent the hinged end of the support an opening to the accommodation.
  • the opening to the accommodation is sized and shaped to closely fit the cross-sectional size and shape of the support.
  • the present invention further relates to a method for setting up a display, comprising the steps of providing a first display tray according to the present invention as described herein above, moving the support into its extended state, providing a second, identical display tray, and arranging the first display tray and the second display tray the one above the other such that the free end of the support of the first display tray abuts the second display tray.
  • the first and second display tray are according to the preferred embodiment of the display tray according to the invention as described herein above having an abutment at the free end of the support and a complementary shaped accommodation, wherein the step of arranging the first display tray and the second display tray the one above the other comprises accommodating the abutment at the free end of the support in the accommodation of the second display tray.
  • the accommodation of the second display tray is arranged at the hinged end of the support of the second display tray, and by accommodating the abutment at the free end of the support of the first display tray in the accommodation of the second display tray the support of the of the first display tray and the support of the second display tray are interlocked such that rotation of the support of the second display tray about its axis of rotation is locked.
  • the abutment of the free end With a shape that substantially corresponds to the shape of the accommodation that is partly defined by the hinged end of the support the position of the support is firmly locked in both the collapsed and extended states without requiring additional parts or supports.
  • This provides a stable and effective display tray.
  • the display tray in these preferred embodiments does not require parts to be positioned outside the surface of the carrier floor. This provides a safe display tray and associated display that also reduces the risk of damaging other goods.
  • the invention further relates to a display comprising a number of display trays in one or more of the embodiments according to the invention, and a method for setting up such display.
  • the display and/or method provide similar effects and advantages as described in relation to the display.
  • moving the support into its extended state is only by rotating the support about its axis of rotation.
  • FIGS 1 to 3 show a preferred embodiment of the display tray 1 according to the present invention.
  • the display tray 1 comprises a tray body 3.
  • the tray body 3 comprises a carrier floor 5 and four side walls 7, 9, 11, 13 that extend upwards from the carrier floor 5.
  • the display tray 1 further is shown with four supports 15a-d.

  • the supports 15a-d are at their hinged end 17 hingedly connected to the carrier floor 5 via two opposing side walls 7 and 11.
  • Each support 15a-d is hingedly connected near a respective corner of the tray body 3.
  • each of the supports 15a-d a planar surface 21 thereof faces an inwardly facing planar surface 7a, 11a of the respective side wall 7, 11.
  • the planar surface 21 of each support 15a-d is in contact with the inwardly facing planar surface 7a, 11b of the respective side wall 7, 11.
  • the supports 15a-d are fixed to the respective side wall 7, 11 by means of a pen 23.
  • the pen 23 defines an axis of rotation 25 about which the support 15a-d is rotatable between a collapsed state, shown in figure 2 , and an extended state, shown in figure 3 . In both states and while being rotated between the two states, the planar contact between the facing planar surfaces, i.e.
  • planar surface 21 of the supports 15a-d and respective planar surface of the side walls 7, 11, is maintained, in particular by virtue of the pen 23 holding the respective supports 15a-d and associated side walls 7, 11 together.
  • the pen 23 thus embodies a hinge that allows the supports 15a-d to rotate about their respective axis of rotation 25, while translation along and rotation about other axes of movement is restricted.
  • the supports 15a-d extend along the carrier floor 5. As shown in figure 3 , in the extended state the supports 15a-d extend substantially perpendicular to the carrier floor 5.
  • the supports 15a-d are each provided with a hole 27 that is offset from the respective axis of rotation 25.
  • This hole 27 allows for a machine to engage the support 15a-d by inserting an engagement member, such as an engagement pen, in the hole 27, and to simply rotate the support 15a-d about its axis of rotation 25 in order to move the support 15a-d between its collapsed state and its extended state.
  • a first surface 29 of the support 15 is in contact with the inner surface 9a of the side walls 9 and 13 that extend perpendicular to the side walls 7 and 11 on which the supports 15a-d are arranged.

  • Abutment surface 155 of the abutment 153 is in contact with the inner surface 9a of the side wall 9.
  • Abutment surface 157 of the abutment 153 is in contact with abutment surface 43 that is provided by the support 15.
  • Abutment surface 159 of the abutment 153 is in contact with abutment surface 45 that is provided by the support 15.
  • Abutment surface 161 of the abutment 153 is in contact with abutment surface 47 that is provided by the support 15.
  • the respective outwardly facing surfaces of the support 115 at the level of the abutment surfaces provided by the opening 39 are each in contact with a respective inwardly facing circumferential abutment surface of opening 39.
  • the abutment 153 at the free end of the support 115 and the accommodation 41 at the hinged end of the support 15 are in form locked relationship, wherein except for translation of the abutment 153 relative to the accommodation 41 in the direction indicated by arrow J opposite to the insertion direction indicated by arrow I, translational movement of the abutment 153 relative to the accommodation 41 is restricted by at least one of the abutment surfaces defining the accommodation 41.
  • the above described contact between abutment surfaces of abutment 153 and abutment surfaces of the accommodation 41 prevents the supports 115 of the second display tray 101 from rotating about their respective axis of rotation 125 in the direction of arrow B into their collapsed state. The latter even without the accommodation 141 at the hinged end of the supports 115 accommodating a free end of a support of an additional identical display tray therein.
  • Both embodiments allow for making a stack of display trays, as will be described under reference to figures 15 to 17 .
  • FIG 15 is shown that a stack of display trays 1, 101, 201, 301, 401, according to the present invention is arranged on a wheeled carrier 70, also known as a dolly.
  • a wheeled carrier 70 also known as a dolly.
  • the supports are in their collapsed state.
  • FIG 16 and 17 the same stack of display trays 1, 101, 201, 301, 401, is shown as in figure 15 , albeit that the supports 15, 115, 215 and 315, are in their extended state, while the supports 415 of display tray 401 are in their collapsed state.
  • the display trays 1, 101, 201, 401 shown in figure 16 are identical to the embodiment of the display tray as shown in figures 1 to 8 , i.e. the embodiment wherein the supports 15 extend upwards in their extended state.
  • the display trays 1, 101, 201, 401 shown in figure 16 are stacked in accordance with the method of stacking as described herein above under reference to figures 5, 6 , 9, and 10 , wherein the abutment 53 at the free end of a support 15 of a first display tray is nested in the accommodation 41 at the hinged end of a support 15 of a second, adjacent display tray in the stack.
  • a similar stack of display trays can be made with the embodiment of the display tray shown in figures 11 to 14 . In that case, instead of the top display tray 401, the bottom display tray 1 has its supports 15 in their collapsed state.
  • FIG. 18 to 20 a further alternative embodiment of the displays tray according to the present invention is shown.
  • the alternative embodiment shown in figures 18 to 20 corresponds to the embodiment shown in figures 1 to 10 , albeit that there are some differences as described herein below.
  • a first difference is that the length 1 of the supports 15 is different.
  • the length of the supports 15 is such that the pair 67 of supports 15a, 15b and the pair 69 of supports 15c, 15d that are arranged on the same side wall 9, 11, do not overlap when the supports 15 are in their collapsed state.
  • the length of the supports 15 is such that the pairs 67, 69 of supports 15a, 15b; 15c, 15d that are arranged on the same side wall 9, 11, do not overlap when the supports 15 are in their collapsed state.
  • the supports 15a, 15b are mutually offset over a distance z along an offset axis that is parallel to the respective axes of rotation 25a, 25b.
  • the support 15a is in contact with the inner surface 7a of side wall 7, while the support 15b is in contact with the inner surface 71a of a plate 71.
  • the plate 71 has a thickness z and is with its opposite surface 71b in contact with the inner surface 7a of side wall 7.
  • the display tray 1 is provided with an additional wall 73 parallel to the side wall 7, the outer surface 73b of which is in contact with the support 15b.
  • the supports 15c, 15d are mutually offset over a distance z along an offset axis that is parallel to the respective axes of rotation 25c, 25d.
  • the support 15d is in contact with the inner surface 11a of side wall 11, while the support 15c is in contact with the inner surface 75a of a plate 75.
  • the plate 75 has a thickness z and is with its opposite surface 75b in contact with the inner surface 11a of side wall 11.
  • the display tray 1 is provided with an additional wall 77 parallel to the side wall 11, the outer surface 77b of which is in contact with the support 15c.
  • the plates 71 and 75 may also be embodied by a local thickening of the side wall.
  • a second difference is that supports 15a and 15c are mutually connected by means of a connection plate 81, and that supports 15b and 15d are mutually connected by means of a connection plate 83.
  • the connection plate 81 allows for rotating the supports 15a and 15c simultaneously, while the connection plate 83 allows for rotating the supports 15b and 15d simultaneously.
  • the height h 1 of the side walls 9, 13 is less than the height h 2 of the side walls 7, 11, for accommodating the connection plates 81, 83, when the supports 15 are in their extended state.
  • connection plate Mutually connecting the supports that rotate about co-axial axes of rotation by means of a connection plate can also be applied to the embodiment of the display tray as shown in figures 1 to 10 and to the embodiment of the display tray as shown in figures 11 to 14 .
  • the additional walls 73, 77 of the embodiment of the display tray as shown in figures 18 to 20 may also be applied in the embodiment of the display tray according to the invention shown in figures 1 to 10 , without the pairs of supports mutually overlapping. In such case one of the surfaces of the support is in contact with the inner surface of the side wall while the opposite surface of the support is in contact with the additional wall.
  • the supports are provided with a hole 27 that allows for an apparatus to engage the supports 15.
  • the side walls on which the supports 15 are arranged may be provided with a cut-out to allow engaging members of an apparatus to reach the holes 27 from opposite side of the side walls.
  • the supports may be provided with an engaging member that extends side ways, such as a tab, flange, pal and the like. For instance a tab may extend from and perpendicular to the surface 21 of the support 15. This would require a cut-out in the side wall to allow the support to be rotated into its collapsed state.
  • the side walls 7 and 11 on which the supports 15 are arranged are longer than the side walls 9 and 13.
  • the side walls 7 and 11 on which the supports 15 are arranged are shorter than the side walls 9 and 13, or the supports are arranged on side walls 9 and 13 instead of on side walls 7.
  • the underside of the carrier floor is flat.
  • the underside of the carrier floor is shaped such that it partly nests in a second display tray when the display trays are stacked with their supports in the collapsed state.
  • the display trays each have four supports. It is also possible that a display tray according to the invention has less or more supports, depending on the specific shape of the display tray.
  • the accommodation is partly defined by an abutment surface provided by the support.
  • the accommodation 541 is only defined by abutment surfaces 541a-d provided by the tray body 503. In such embodiment the accommodation of the abutment in the accommodation does not block rotation of the support 515 about its axis of rotation 525.
  • one of the abutment surfaces of accommodation is the inner surface 9a, 11a of the side wall 9,11.
  • that abutment surface is a surface provided by the support.
  • the support 615 has a substantially U-shaped opening, wherein the base of the U-shape is provided by abutment surface 643, one leg of the U-shape is provided by abutment surfaces 645 and 647 of the support, and the other leg of the U-shape is provided by a surface 646 facing the abutment surfaces 645 and 647.
