Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a feeder device configured for mounting on a shelf for feeding successive products to a front of the shelf.
  • the feeder device comprises a spring arranged to act on a sled for pushing the products towards the front of the shelf.
  • the feeder device may be used e.g. in shops such as grocery stores or the like for providing and displaying products on shelves therein.
  • Feeder devices for merchandising in general are used for example in grocery stores where goods are exposed on the shelves.
  • Indexing devices are used to push forward placed goods or stored items, in a row one behind the other, to the shelf s front edge, to facilitate the picking of the goods, improve visibility of the goods and make the shelf aesthetic appearance more appealing.
  • the feeder device may include a base or web which is placed on the shelf so that it extends from the shelf front edge in a rearward direction.
  • a feed sled is slidably disposed on the base along its length.
  • the automatic feeder devices are sled biased, for example by a helical spring which is arranged on the backside of the sled and which at one end is attached to the front end of the base.
  • the dividers comprise a dividing wall that extends from the shelf front edge in an essentially rearward direction.
  • Dividers may also comprise a front stop plate or front extending perpendicularly to dividing wall on one or both sides of said wall, to prevent goods from falling off the shelf.
  • the dividers are attached to the shelf next to each other to form compartments in which the feeder devices are placed.
  • the distances between dividers are chosen in accordance with the relevant goods width, so that the goods are brought into line with each other in their respective compartments. This minimizes the space required to store the goods on the shelf, while the shelf aesthetic appearance becomes more appealing.
  • dividers can be designed in a variety of ways.
  • the dividing wall height may vary widely.
  • the fronts of the dividers can be designed in a variety of ways, for example as regards the width, height and contour, to suit different goods and to provide desired visual impact for every occasion.
  • Feeder devices and dividers should be easy to assemble and disassemble from the shelf.
  • the feeder devices and the partitions should also preferably be possible to fix at arbitrary positions laterally along the shelf, to thereby provide the goods compartment with the desired width.
  • DE 1 297 833 discloses a feeder comprising a product supporting wall formed integral with a housing which receives a wounded portion of a spring. The free end of the spring is fixed to a front stop which extends along the front edge of a shelf.
  • US 2004/0065630 A1 discloses a product feed apparatus comprising a track and a pusher member which is slideably mounted thereto and forwardly biased by means of a plurality of identical biasing elements.
  • the pusher member further comprises a spring biased pivotal hook for releasably holding the pusher member at a rear position of the track.
  • EP 0 591592 A1 discloses a display dispenser for rectangular packages.
  • the dispenser comprises a support and a pusher sliding over the support, the packages being stored in a row on the support and pushed forward by the pusher entrained by an elastic pulling means.
  • the rear end of the elastic pulling means is connected to the body of the pusher.
  • the front part the pusher bears on said body via a compression means pushing the articles towards the front of the display counter
  • EP 0 337 340 discloses a shelf divider system comprising a divider wall mountable in a channel member secured to the front of a shelf.
  • a spring-urged sled is slidably mounted on a track having a pair of rails integral with the divider shaft.
  • the operationally mounted divider wall is vertically oriented and the sled extends horizontally therefrom so that displayed merchandise resets directly on the shelf surface but is automatically urged forwardly by the retracted sled.
  • the track guiding the sled rests on the shelf such that it provides the supporting surface for displayed merchandise and a vertical divider wall is integrally formed with the track.
  • the distances between the guiding contact surfaces of the sled and the track are longer in the longitudinal direction than in the transverse direction.
  • US 2016/0324334 A1 discloses a feeder device intended for bottles which comprises a sled that is guided by a track and urged forwardly by a wound spring, the free end of which is fixed to a front portion of the track.
  • the sled comprises a vertical back support wall which urges the bottles forwardly by contacting a rear portion of the rearmost bottle.
  • the sled further comprises a horizontal bottom wall which extends forwardly from the lower edge of the back support wall.
  • This type of feeder provides good functionality for bottles and other types of products being comparatively rigid and having a comparatively large lower support surface. However, for other types of products and packages this type of feeder exhibits some major disadvantages.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates a known feeder device of generally the same type as described in US 2016/0324334 A1 .
  • this feeder device 1 is used for feeding pouch packages.
  • the feeder device 1 comprises an elongate track 2 which is attachable to a front profile 3 extending along the front edge of a shelf S.
  • a front stop 4 is also fixed to the front profile 3 and arranged to prevent pouch packages P being fed forwardly by the feeder device to fall off from the shelf S.
  • the feeder device further comprises a sled which slidably fixed to the track 2.
  • the track exhibits transversely protruding rails 6 which extend on both sides of the track along essentially its entire length.
  • the sled 5 comprises corresponding guide flanges 7 forming guide grooves (not visible) which receive a portion of a respective rail 6 for rectilinear guiding of the sled 5 along the track 2.
  • the sled further comprises a back support wall 8 which is arranged to contact a rear portion of the rearmost of a number of packages arranged one after the other in a row.
  • a support bottom 9 extends forwardly from the lower edge of the back support wall 8 and is arranged to support the bottom of a few of the rear packages in the row of packages.
  • the guide flanges 7 and guide grooves extend forwardly from the rear end of the sled almost all the way to the front end of the support bottom 9.
  • the feeder device 1 also comprises a wound spring (not shown), the wound portion of which is housed behind the rear support wall 8 and the free end of which is fixed to the front end of the track 2.
  • the spring thus urges the sled 5 forwardly along the track 2.
  • the sled will move forwardly pushing the row of packages forwardly such that the emptied space left after the picked package is filled by the next package in the row.
  • this known arrangement causes some problems when the feeder device is used for comparatively thin pouch packages.
  • the sled 5 When the sled 5 has reached its forward end position shown in fig. 1 and the remaining number of packages do not occupy the entire distance between the front stop 4 and the back support wall 8, the remaining packages will have a tendency to lean or tilt forward such that the upper portion of at least the front most remaining package will extend out in front of the front stop 4.
  • This may result in that persons or shopping carts passing by make contact with the tilted packages and causes the packages to unintentionally fall off from the shelf.
  • this is most unwanted and causes disorder in the shop as well as additional labour for putting the packages back on the shelf and it may even lead to that the packages are damaged such that they must be discarded.
  • These problems occur not only for pouch packages but also for rigid packages where the thickness of the packages is smaller than the distance between the front stop 4 and the back support wall 8, when the sled is in its forward end position.
  • the back support wall may rest directly on the shelf and may be forwardly urged by similar or corresponding spring means.
  • the lower support surface being in contact with the shelf is large enough for avoiding tipping over of the back support wall.
  • the lower support surface of the back support wall extends forwardly from the back support wall in order not to decrease the available space of the shelf when the back support wall is in its rear most position. For this reason, also such back support walls which are not guided by a track normally exhibits a support bottom which extends forwardly from the lower edge of the back support wall.
  • the forwardly protruding support bottom provides a satisfactory support for the back support wall on the shelf but also results in that the last remaining thin and / or soft packages resting on the upper side of the support bottom will experience the same problems of tilting, falling and bending as described above.
  • An object of the invention of the present disclosure to provide a an enhanced feeder device for feeding products to the front of a shelf.
  • Another object is to provide a feeder device which at use reduces the risk of comparatively soft products or packages fall off the shelf.
  • a further object is to provide such a feeder device which enhances the visibility and identification of products or packages being fed.
  • a still further object is to provide such a feeder device which enhances the visual appearance of the shelf as well as products and packages stored thereon.
  • Yet another object is to provide such a feeder device which is simple in construction and reliable in use.
  • the feeder device is configured for being mounted on a shelf for feeding successive products arranged one after the other in a row on the shelf to the front of the shelf. It comprises a sled which comprises a back support wall arranged to contact a rear portion of a rearmost product in the row and a support bottom which extends forwardly from the back support wall and is arranged to support the bottom of at least one product.
  • a first spring is connected to the sled and arranged to urge the sled forwardly towards a front of the shelf.
  • the sled further comprises a pusher which is arranged to urge a lower portion of a product placed on the support bottom forwardly relative to the sled by means of an elastic element which is said first spring.
  • the pusher thus forces products and packages placed on the bottom wall forwardly such that they will make contact with a front stop arranged at the front of the shelf.
  • a front stop arranged at the front of the shelf.
  • the pusher may be hinged to the back support wall.
  • the feeder device may further comprise an elongated guide member which is configured for extending longitudinally backwards from the front of the shelf when the device is mounted and the sled may be slidably and guidedly connected to the guide member such that the sled can slide longitudinally along the elongated guide member.
  • the sled and the guide member may be provided with cooperating guide means configured to guide the sled along the guide member and wherein at least one of said guide means is arranged at the support bottom.
  • the cooperating guide means may be separated in the longitudinal and the transverse direction of the guide member and at least one longitudinal separation distance may be then equal to or greater than at least one transverse separation distance.
  • the guide means may comprise at least two longitudinally extending guide flanges arranged side by side at the sled and wherein the longitudinal extension of the guide flanges is equal to or greater than the transvers distance between them.
  • the invention also relates to a shelf managing system comprising a front profile arranged to be fixed to the front edge of a shelf, a front stop and a feeder device as described above.
  • the feeder device 100 shown in figs. 2-4c comprises an elongate guide member 10, a sled 30 and a spring 60.

  • the guide member 10 comprises a front portion having a forwardly protruding fixation member 12 which defines a downwardly open fixation grove which receives the T-shaped flange 201 when the fixation member 12 has been snap mounted onto the front profile 200.
  • the guide member may be fixed to the shelf in many different ways, such as by adhesives, magnets, screws or the like.
  • the feeding device is easy to remove, re-mount and displace along the shelf for adjusting the shelf lay-out or planogram for different products.
  • the feeder device advantageously forms part of a shelf management system which also comprises fixation means such as a front profile, divider walls, front stops and other shelf accessories such as label holders, flag holders and illumination means.
  • the shelf management system is designed such that the accessories may easily be fixed and adjusted to any desired position along the shelf and the system often comprises a front profile having engagement means for such adjustable fixation of the accessories.
  • the engagement means may vary in many different ways which are known in the art and it is readily understood that the feeder device according to the invention may be provided with any type of corresponding fixation means which are not described further in detail here.
  • the guide member 10 comprises three sections comprising a front section 14, a mid section 16 and a rear section 18 which are provided with cooperating engagement means (not shown) for attaching the sections one after the other in the longitudinal direction.
  • the front 14 and rear 18 sections are identical and comprise the fixation member 12 for fixation to the front profile 200 and, when applicable, an identical or similar rear profile.
  • the rear profile has been dispensed with and the guide member is fixed to the shelf S merely by means of the front profile and the engagement member 12 of the front section 14.
  • the mid section 16 may be manufactured and delivered in different lengths, such that the guide member 10 and the feeder device 100 may easily be adapted to different shelf depths.
  • the assembled guide member 10 is generally plate shaped and exhibits a lower side which rests on the shelf S when mounted and an upper side which supports the products and the sled 30.
  • On the upper side two longitudinally extending first guide flanges 20, 22 are arranged along a respective side edge of the guide member 10.
  • the cross section of each first guide flange 20, 22 projects upwardly and transversely outwards passed the respective side edge of the guide member 10.
  • Two support ribs 24, 26 extend in parallel, side by side longitudinally along the guide member, between the guide flanges 20, 22.
  • the sled 30 comprises a vertical back support wall 32 with a forwardly facing rectangular support surface and two generally triangular side walls 34, 36 extending perpendicularly backwards from respective side edges of the back support wall 32.
  • Two spring housing walls 36 (only one shown) extend backwards from the rear side of the back support wall, in parallel with and between the side walls 34, 36, such as to define a spring receiving space them between.
  • a hinge flange 40 extends backwards, between the side walls 24, 26 from the upper edge of the back support wall 32.
  • the back support wall further exhibits two through penetrating slits 33 arranged vertically, in parallel and debouching in the spring receiving space.
  • the sled further comprises a pusher 42 which is hinged to the upper edge of the back support wall 32.
  • the pusher 42 comprises a rectangular pusher plate 44 with two generally J-shaped hinge hooks 46 extending backwards from its upper edge. Each hinge hook 46 hingedly receives a portion of the hinge flange 40.
  • Two curved spring legs 48 extend backwards from the pusher plate 44 through a respective slit 33 into the spring receiving space.
  • the sled 30 also comprises a support bottom 50 which extends horizontally forwards from the lower edge of the back support wall 32, The support bottom exhibits a number of longitudinally extending and upwardly projecting support ribs.
  • the guide member 10 and the sled 30 comprise cooperating guide means.
  • these guide means comprise the first guide flanges 20, 22 of the guide member and two corresponding L-shaped longitudinally extending second guide flanges 54, 56 projecting downwards and toward each other from the lower side of the support bottom 50.
  • the second guide flanges 54, 56 thus define a respective guide grove which faces each other and which receive a respective first guide flange 20, 22.
  • the second guide flanges 54, 56 are separated by a first distance in the transverse direction.
  • the longitudinal separation of the front most and rearmost guide surface portions should be equal or greater than the first, transverse separation distance. In the shown example, this is accomplished by that the second guide flanges 54, 56 extend over essentially the entire longitudinal length of the sled, which length is greater than the first transvers separation distance.
  • the second guide flanges 54, 56 may be exchanged by two or more pairs of transversely separated guide means, such as guide tabs or the like which cooperate with longitudinally arranged guide means on the guide member.
  • guide means such as guide tabs or the like which cooperate with longitudinally arranged guide means on the guide member.
  • the longitudinal distance between the front most and rearmost pair of guide means on the sled should preferably be separated by a distance which is greater than the transverse distance between the guide means in each pair.
  • An advantage of the feeder device according to the invention is that the support bottom 50, which extends forwardly from the back support wall 32 may be utilized for carrying the sled's 30 guide means.
  • the longitudinal distance between front and rear most guide means may be increased without the need of excessively extending the sled rearwards behind the back support wall 32. In this way a maximum portion of the shelf s depth may be used for storage of products.
  • the feeder device also comprises a spring 60 for urging the sled 30 forwardly along the guide member 10.
  • the spring 60 is a flat spiral spring of the clock spring type.
  • the spring 60 comprises a wound portion 62 and an elastically extendable and retractable extended portion with a free end 64.
  • the wound portion 62 is housed and maintained in the spring receiving space, between the spring housing walls 36.
  • the extended portion extends under the support bottom 50 and between the support ribs 24, 26 of the guide member 10.
  • the transvers distance between the support ribs 24, 26 is essentially equal to the width of the spring, thus maintaining the extended portion of the spring 60 aligned with central axis of the guide member 10.
  • the free end 64 is thread through a spring slit 28 arranged in proximity to the fixation member 12 and fixed to the guide member 10.
  • fig. 5a the feeder device 100 is shown in a fully reward extended position on the shelf S and loaded with a number of pouch packages P arranged one after the other in a longitudinal row.
  • the thickness of the packages allows the two rearmost packages to be supported on the support bottom of the sled 30.
  • the feeder device 100 is fixed to a front profile 200 as described above and a front stop 210 is also fixed to the front profile by a similar snap fixation.
  • the front stop comprises a transparent stop plate which extends vertically upwards and in parallel with the front profile.
  • the front stop 210 is positioned in front of the sled 30 and the pouch packages P.
  • the spring 60 urges the sled 30 forwardly whereby the back support wall 32 and the pusher plate 44 exerts a forwardly directed force to the pouch packages P.
  • the front most package P rests against the front stop 210, whereby the packages P are compressed and exert a normal force to the pusher plate 44.
  • the spring legs 58 rests against the wound portion of the spring which radially urges the pusher plate 44 to rotate clockwise (as seen in the figures) about a hinge axis defined by the hinge flange 40.
  • the normal force of the row of packages P is greater than the spring force applied to the spring legs 48 and the pusher plate 44, such that the pusher plate 44 is maintained in a vertical position in parallel with and resting against the back support wall 32.
  • the spring 60 is elastically wound, such that the extended portion is retracted and the sled 30 is urged forwardly pushing the row of packages P forward relative to the guide member 10 and the shelf S.
  • the lower edges of the packages P rest on the guide member's 10 comparatively narrow guide flanges 20, 22 and support ribs 24, 26 such that the friction between the packages P and guide member 10 is reduced, thereby enhancing feeding action of the feeder device 100.
  • the remaining package Since the thickness of the remaining last package is smaller than the longitudinal length of the support bottom and thereby the distance between the back support wall 32 and the front stop 210, the remaining package will not exert any normal force on the pusher plate 44.
  • the radial spring force exerted by the springs wound portion on the spring legs 48 will cause the pusher plate to rotate clockwise about the hinge axis defined by the hinge flange 40.
  • the lower portion of the pusher plate 44 thereby makes contact with a lower portion of the remaining package P and displaces the lower portion of the package forwardly relative to the now stationary support bottom 50 and the front stop 210. During this displacement the narrow support ribs 52 on the support bottom reduces the friction and facilitates the forward displacement.
  • the pusher plate is urged forwardly relative to the support bottom by means of a second spring or other elastic means such as an elastic pad which is arranged between the back support wall and the pusher plate.
  • the pusher need not be hinged to the back support wall but nay instead comprise any type of pusher plate or the like which is arranged in front of the lower portion of the back support wall and which is urged to be linearly displace forwardly.
  • the cooperating guide means of the sled and the guide member may take many other forms as long as they provide a satisfactory guidance of the sled along the guide member.
  • the movement of the sled may be accomplished by other means than a flat wound spring, e.g. by an extension spring or an elastically loaded rack and pinion drive.
  • the guide member is omitted.
  • the sled comprising the back support wall and the support bottom rests directly on the shelf and is urged forwardly by a suitable spring means such as a wound spring or similar.
  • the sled may be guided merely by the forwardly urging action of the spring means. It is however also possible that the sled, at such embodiments, is guided by divider walls or other shelf accessories that extend rearward from the front edge of the shelf in parallel with the movement path of the sled at either or both sides of the sled.
