Definitions

  • This specification relates generally to the field of brackets for attaching signage posts to display structures and has particular, but by no means exclusive, application to mounting promotional signage in retail environments.
  • Retail shops make significant use of in store promotional signage to promote various goods and services as well as other related information. For example, it is common to use promotional signage to inform shoppers that a new product has arrived and is available for sale or that the price of a particular product has been reduced.
  • a bracket for attaching a signage post to a display structure comprising at least any one or more of: a first mounting arrangement; and a separate second mounting arrangement that is different to the first mounting arrangement, the bracket comprising:
  • Different product display structures will often include different mounting arrangements which allows a range of different hardware such as shelving (for product placement) and promotional signage to be mounted to the display structures. While the use of different mounting arrangements does have some advantages it does have the drawback of requiring retail outlets to maintain in store a range of different mounting brackets for mounting hardware such as shelves and promotional items to display structures. The requirement to maintain different mounting brackets comes with additional cost (purchasing a range of different brackets) and well as additional storage space for storing the inventory of the different mounting brackets.
  • a benefit of the embodiment of the bracket described above is that it can ameliorate the above drawbacks.
  • This is achieved in the embodiment of the bracket by the mounting arrangement having the first section and the second section.
  • Each of this mounting arrangement sections can be configured to suit different mounting arrangements used by the product display cabinets.
  • the embodiment of the bracket provides a novel and inventive "two-in-one" bracket system that can be used to mount promotional signage to different product display structures such as slotted posts and peg boards.
  • the retail outlet now only needs to carry one mounting bracket that can be used with different display mounting arrangements, which provides cost, storage and inventory management benefits.
  • the embodiment of the bracket is such that the coupling of the body comprises a threaded surface that defines an aperture that extends through the body and which comprises: an opening in a main surface of the body; and another opening in another main surface of the body, the aperture and the threaded inner surface being arranged to receive a threaded end of the signage post.
  • the first section of the mounting arrangement comprising at least two spaced apart elements for cooperating with the first mounting arrangement of the display structure
  • the spaced apart elements are located at a peripheral region of the body
  • each of the spaced apart elements of the first section of the mounting arrangement extend outwardly from the main surface of the body to define a substantial right angle between the main surface of the body and each of the spaced apart elements of the first section of the mounting arrangement, each of the spaced apart elements of the first section of the mounting arrangement comprise an end section for engaging the display structure.
  • the first section or more specifically the spaced apart elements, are suited to product display structures that incorporate a slotted upright support member.
  • the end section of each of the spaced apart elements of the first section of the mounting arrangement define a substantial right angle between the end section and a respective main section of each of the spaced apart elements.
  • An advantage of the right angled end section is that it provides an effective means for engaging an inner surface of the slotted upright support member of a product display structure. Moreover, as the threaded signage post is threaded into and through the body of the bracket the end of the signage post engages the slotted upright support member and as the resultant force is exerted the right angled end sections serve to secure the bracket in place.
  • each of the spaced apart elements of the first section of the mounting arrangement comprise a surface that defines an aperture that extends through the respective spaced apart elements, the aperture of the spaced apart elements being arranged to receive a part of the first mounting arrangement of the display structure.
  • slotted upright support members used in product display structures to incorporate a small tag/lug that protrudes into the slots.
  • the aperture of the spaced apart elements is capable of receiving the tag/lug to provide additional securing of the bracket to the slotted upright support member.
  • the aperture of the body is such that an axis that extends from one of the spaced apart elements to another of the spaced apart elements passes through a center of the aperture.
  • the second section of the mounting arrangement comprising at least two spaced apart elements for cooperating with the second mounting arrangement of the display structure
  • the spaced apart elements are located at a peripheral region of the body
  • each of the spaced apart elements of the second section of the mounting arrangement extend outwardly from the other main surface of the body to define a substantial right angle between the other main surface of the body and each of the spaced apart elements of the second section of the mounting arrangement, each of the spaced apart elements of the second section of the mounting arrangement comprise an end section for engaging the display structure.
  • the second section or more specifically the spaced apart elements, are suited to product display structures that incorporate a "peg board” style of mounting assembly.
  • each of the spaced apart elements of the second section of the mounting arrangement define a substantial right angle between the end section and a respective main section of each of the spaced apart elements.
  • a benefit of incorporating the right-angled end section is that it provides a mechanism for engaging the peg board and securing the bracket to the pegboard.
  • the aperture of the body is such that an axis that extends from one of the spaced apart elements to another of the spaced apart elements does not pass through the aperture.
  • bracket is described in the context of being used to mount a signage post (carrying a promotional sign) to a display structure used in retail environments such as supermarkets. Display structures are commonly used to display goods available for purchases. Persons skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the use of the bracket is not restricted to carrying signage posts nor is the bracket restricted to use in retail environments. The bracket may well be used to support other items such as shelving and can have application outside of the retail sector to non-retail sectors.
  • the bracket 100 has several components.
  • the bracket 100 has a main body 102 and a mounting arrangement 104 - 110 that includes a first section 104 and 106 and a second section 108 and 110.
  • the body 102 is made from mild steel plate about 3 mm thick.
  • the body 102 is also powder coated.
  • the first section 104 and 106 is integrally form with the body 102.
  • the body 102 and first section 104 and 106 are formed using a metal press forming (stamping process) process.
  • the second section 108 and 110 is also made from mild steel and is welded to the body 102.
  • the body 102 has a coupling 112.
  • the coupling 112 includes a threaded inner surface 114 of the body 102.
  • the threaded inner surface 114 defines a general aperture in the body 102 and which has a 15 mm diameter.
  • the threaded inner surface 114 has a thread pitch that corresponds with the thread pitch of the post 234 (see figure 2 ).
  • the threaded inner surface 114 (and the aperture it defines) extends through the body 102 from the main surface 116 of the body 102 through to the other main surface 118 of the body 102 and as a result there are located in the main surfaces 116 and 118 opening of the aperture.
  • Figure 2 provides a side view of the bracket 200 mounted to a slotted upright support member 220 of a display structure. Slotted upright supports are used in retail environments.
  • Figure 3 provides an isometric view of the bracket 300 mounted to the slotted upright support member 320.
  • the first section 204 to 206 of the mounting arrangement 204 to 210 has two spaced apart elements 204 and 206 that are located on a periphery region of the body 202.
  • the spaced apart elements 204 to 206 are integrally formed with the main body 202 of the bracket 200 and are of a width that is less than the width of the body 202. In this particular embodiment of the bracket 200 the spaced apart elements 204 and 206 are approximately 8 mm wide.
  • each of the spaced apart elements 304 and 306 are formed such that they can be inserted in respective slots 322 and 324 of the slotted upright support 320.
  • each of the spaced apart elements 204 and 206 each have an end section 226 and 228 which engage an inner surface of the slotted upright support 220.
  • the end sections 226 and 228 are at a right angle relative to the main sections 230 and 232 of the spaced apart elements 204 and 206.
  • the body 102 has a threaded aperture 112 for receiving a threaded signage post 234 (see figure 2 ).
  • the threaded signage post 234 has the primary function of carrying promotional signage that is typically in paper form.
  • the promotional signage can, for example be secured to the signage post 234 using suitable clips or other similar securing mechanisms.
  • the bracket 200 has been specifically designed such that the signage post 234 serves an important second function; that is, as a mechanism for securing the bracket 200 to the slotted upright support 220. More specifically, as the signage post 234 is threaded into the body 202 and a threaded end section 236 of the signage post 234 engages with the outer surface of the slotted upright support 220.
  • the mounting arrangement 104 to 110 of the bracket 100 also has a second section 108 and 110.
  • the second section 108 and 110 is designed to be used with a "peg board" support structure 546 (see figure 5 ). Peg boards are used in retail environments.
  • the second section 108 and 110 has two spaced apart elements 108 and 110 that are formed from metal pins. The spaced apart elements 108 and 110 are welded to the body 102. The spaced apart elements 108 and 110 each have end sections 138 and 140 that are at an acute angle relative to main sections 142 and 144 of the spaced apart elements 108 and 110.
  • the spaced apart elements 508 and 510 of the second section 508 and 510 are such that they are spaced apart and are about 4 mm in diameter that allows them to be received by the peg board support structure 546.
  • the bracket 400 when the bracket 400 is mounted to the peg board 446 the end sections 438 and 440 engage a surface of the pegboard 446.
  • the signage post 434 is threaded into the body 102 as previous described and again the threaded end section 436 of the post 434 engages with the peg board support structure 446, which in turn exerts a force on the body 402 to secure it to the peg board structure 446.
