The invention can be carried out in various ways. shapes. With reference to the figures in which similar numbers indicate similar elements, a view is shown in figure 1 isometric front of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention The marketing system 10 by way of example includes a base 12 that defines one or more guides 14 on the that a pusher mechanism 16 is mounted that can slide to along the guides. System 10 also includes at least one roller assembly 18 that includes a plurality of rollers 20 configured in an aligned manner on set 18. You can also a divider element 22 be used to separate products into rows. The base 12, the pusher mechanism 16, the roller assembly 18 and the divider element 22 can also be mounted on a rail 24 front or rear The components of the system 10 can be independent components, components spliced together, or components configured together as a set of a piece, unitary.

The marketing system 10 by way of example allows to place and push larger and / or heavier products on a shelf or surface and in particular on a shelf or horizontal or not inclined surface. The invention also allows push products that present product packaging that does not Easily slide on a shelf or horizontal surface. By example, soda boxes or detergent boxes that are packed in a cardboard or paper material, usually not easily slide on the shelf without significant effort due to the weight of the product and the frictional forces between the product packaging and the shelf on which the product. The marketing system 10 improves the commercialization of these and other products through the use of exemplary pusher mechanism 16 used with the one or more roller assemblies 18 by way of example. Placing the product on one or more of the roller assemblies 18, the mechanism 16 pusher can more easily force the product towards the part front of the shelf or towards the aisle for marketing appropriate product.

Advantageously, with the pusher mechanism 16 and exemplary roller assembly 18, heavier products that were previously placed on a shelf or surface horizontal, or products that did not slide easily over the shelf or surface, can now be properly marketed No need to make changes to the system. Also, being able to invention selectively placed in any position at along a shelf or other surface, the system of marketing can accommodate and properly push on the shelf almost any product normally marketed regardless of size, shape, weight, configuration and type of packaging.

With reference to figure 1, in one embodiment by way of example, base 12 defines a surface generally flat flat that can be configured to engage with or mount on any known shelf used in a store, and in any configuration and orientation of known mounting. Base 12 defines a front edge 26, a rear edge 28, and one or more guides 14 extending along base 12 from edge 26 front to rear edge 28. As illustrated, they can use two guides 14 with each pusher mechanism 16 and are separated to mount the pusher mechanism 16. It should be understood that more or less than two guides could be used with the invention, Depending on the particular application. The front edge 26 of the base 12 is configured to mount on or on rail 24 of Any known way. Once mounted, the base 12 can slide along lane 24 to any position along of lane 24 to thereby locate pusher mechanism 16 mounted in any desired position behind the product.

The guides 14 extend longitudinally to the length of base 12 and each guide defines at least one lane 30 and an elongated opening or channel 32 at base 12. The opening 32 and rail 30 are sized and shaped to housing and mounting a coupling flange of mechanism 16 pusher, as described above. When viewed from or either the front edge 26 or the rear edge 28 of the base 12, lane 30 and opening 32 by way of example can generally define a configuration conformed to "L". This configuration allows the flange of the pusher mechanism 16 to be mounted so sliding on the base 12 and also prevents the pusher mechanism 16 stand up and leave the guide 14. The present invention contemplates the use of other forms of rails and openings to mount the 16 pusher mechanism at base 12.

In addition, one or more than the mounting rails 30 may define one or more parts 36 clipped that can be located along the included lanes at the location of the support ribs 34.

As shown in Figure 1, located on base 12 in various positions along base 12 there are notches 38 that extend transversely that serve to hold releasingly the pusher mechanism 16 in a position stationary at that location during product replenishment On the shelf. The notches 38 can be placed in any location along base 12 and can define any numerous configurations to house and hold the mechanism 16 pusher in position.

The roller assembly 18 includes a roller housing 19 containing numerous rollers 20 which are mounted in the housing 19. The roller housing 19 It is usually represented as an elongated body that can stand in any position on the shelf, such as next of the pusher mechanism 16, next to a divider element 22 of products, or in the space between the pusher mechanism and the product dividing element. In essence, the invention contemplates the placement of roller assembly 18 in any desired position on the shelf where the roller assembly can provide help in marketing the product towards the front of a shelf or towards the aisle.

As shown in figure 1, the assembly 18 of rollers can be connected to or formed integral with the product divider element 22 or a divider element base of products from which the product divider element extends. In an exemplary embodiment, the roller assembly 18 it can be placed on one or both sides of the divider element 22 of products. Although the illustrated embodiment represents a set 18 of rollers located on one side of the dividing element, it is contemplated that the roller assembly 18 can be located on both sides of the dividing element to assist in the marketing of multiple product rows In yet another embodiment, set 18 of rollers can be independent of or placed away from the element 22 product divider. As will be readily appreciated, the position or location of roller assembly 18 may vary depending on the size and shape of the product to be placed on the set 18 of rollers for commercialization.

The roller assembly 18 can be mounted on the lane 24 using any known mounting technique or can mount directly on the shelf. Alternatively, the set 18 of rollers can be mounted on a rear rail, not shown, but known in the art. Depending on the type of lane used, the roller assembly 18 can be adjusted by pressure in or on the rail or it can slide on or on the rail. He roller assembly 18 can also be configured to move to any one of the numerous positions along the lane, regardless of whether a front lane is used, a lane Rear or both. In another alternative embodiment, the housing 19 of the roller assembly 18 can be mounted on another structure that ride on a shelf or rail, or the housing 19 can simply put on the shelf or other surface. As it should Easily appreciated, there are numerous ways to assemble the set 18 of rollers, all contemplated by the invention.

With reference to figure 3, in one embodiment alternatively, the housing 19 of the roller assembly 18 may be connected to or formed in solidarity with the pusher mechanism 16. In an exemplary embodiment, a roller assembly 18 may be placed on each side of the pusher mechanism 16. Alternatively, the roller assembly 18 can be independent or placed away from the product pusher mechanism 16, again Depending on the type of product to be marketed.

With reference again to Figure 1, the rollers 20 are mounted in housing 19 in a manner generally aligned and are separated to provide the appropriate directional movement of the product placed on the rollers 20. The number and separation of rollers 20 can vary depending on the application. The invention is therefore not limited to the number, placement, separation, orientation or configuration of the rollers 20 since numerous are possible alternative embodiments.

With reference to figure 5, a roller 20 of the invention by way of example. Roller 20 can be made of a plastic material and can define a structure generally shaped in cylinder. Roller 20 may include also opposite 44 stems that extend outwardly located centrally at each end of the roller 20. The stems 44 are they will mount in separate notches or grooves 46 formed in the 19 roller housing. The notches or grooves 4 6 are configured to allow the rotational movement of the rollers a once mounted.

With reference to figure 2, the 10 marketing system pushing the product. As it represents, in an exemplary embodiment, element 22 product divider is used to separate products marketed in rows on the shelves. In one embodiment, the element 22 divider is formed in solidarity with a base 50 of element divisor as a one piece structure, unitary. In this embodiment, the divider element 22 can be formed with the base 50 of so that it cannot slide out or rise from base 50. In another embodiment, the divider element 22 may be located of sliding way in a notch that is formed at base 50 and that extends from the front to the back of the base 50. With this configuration, the divider element 22 can be a detachable divider element that slides away or is lifts from the notch formed in base 12. As can be seen, the divider element 22 can define various configurations. How example, depending on the size and shape of the product marketed, the divider element 22 can define a height and suitable length to separate the rows of products that are going to commercialize In fact, the divider element 22 can define any shape, profile or contour that improves placement and product removal on the shelf.

As shown in Figure 2, the product to be marketed is placed on two sets 18 of rollers separated as well as the base 12 of the pusher mechanism. The sets 18 of rollers shown are located at opposite ends of the product to support the product at the ends. In operation, the pusher mechanism 16 will force or push the product towards rail 24 and roller assemblies 18 will help to the pusher mechanism that is pushing the product. As it should appreciated, the roller assemblies 18 may be placed in Any desired location below the product.

With reference again to figure 1, in a by way of example, the pusher mechanism 16 can define a flat, smooth or other pusher surface or panel 52 suitable way to push specific product packages. The pusher surface 52 further defines a suitable thickness for push wider, heavier products without experiencing curving undue of the pusher mechanism. The pusher surface 52 it can be made of any known material, such as a plastic material, which is suitable for pushing the product.

As illustrated in Figure 2, the pusher surface 52 is coupled to guide 14 by means of the use of a pusher support base 54. The surface 52 of pusher can be fixedly mounted on support base 54 or it can be slidably mounted on the support base 54 to along a support guide 56. If a guide 56 of support, the pusher surface 52 can be adjusted so slide in a generally horizontal way to adjust the location of pusher surface 52 behind the product. A one skilled in the art will appreciate that other techniques are possible for mount the pusher surface 52 on the support base 54 of pusher and that the support guide 56 is simply illustrative of an exemplary embodiment. For example, it is contemplated that the pusher surface may be operatively mounted on the base 12 without the use of guides. That is, the system can be a system without guides because the pusher surface can simply put on base 12 without the use of flanges, guides or any other structure that could be used to hold the pusher surface to the base.

The support base 54 defines flanges 58 that are extend out used to mount and fix so sliding support base 54 to one or more guides 14 and more specifically to one or more lanes 30 of the guides 14. The flanges 58 serve to hold the support base in the guides. The support base 54 defines a sufficient width and depth for provide the pusher surface 52 with a support support that will allow pusher surface 52 to push properly larger and often heavier products on the shelf without the undesirable binding of the flanges 58 in the guides 14. Also, in an exemplary embodiment, the flanges 58 which extend outward are separated on the support base 54 to provide support support that will prevent bending or tilt of the pusher surface 52 as you push the larger and often heavier products. An expert in technique will appreciate that the number, situation, separation and flange configuration 58 will vary depending on the desired application and the size of the product being pushed and that the invention is therefore not so limited.

In an exemplary embodiment, base 54 support also defines a base extension 55 that serves as a support structure for pusher surface 52 mounted. The base extension 55 is represented as protruding out from the support base 54 and through the side rear of the pusher surface 52. The base extension 55 can be formed in solidarity with the support base 54 or can join support base 54 using known joining techniques.

The support base 54 also serves to contain at least one pusher forcing element 60 used to force the pusher surface 52 towards the front of the shelf. The pusher forcing element 60 may be any deviation element that includes, without limitation, a flat helical spring normally used with systems pushers The present invention can use one or more pusher forcing elements 60 to force the surface 52 of pusher depending on the desired application. The tension Pusher force element 60 helical may vary also depending on the particular application.

The pusher forcing element 60 can be mounted on pusher mechanism 16 and base 12 using Any known mounting technique. In the embodiment by way of example, one end of the pusher forcing element 60 is fixed to base 12 near the front edge 26 of base 12, and the end opposite of the pusher forcing element 60, which is represented as a rolled end, it is located behind the pusher mechanism 16 to force pusher mechanism 16 toward the front part of the shelf, as is known in the art. Other mounting configurations of the forcing element 60 of Pushers are possible with the present invention. In other words, the fixed end of the pusher forcing element 60 can be mounted on the pusher mechanism 16 while the other end rolled up can be operatively mounted on base 12 or other structure.

Located behind pusher surface 52 and above the support base 54 is a piston 70. The piston 70 is configured to extend through support base 54 to engage the notch 38 extending transversely to releasably holding the pusher mechanism 16 in the location of the notch on the base 12. In one embodiment by way for example, when the pusher mechanism is placed on one of the notches 38, the piston can be manually operated down and inward of the notch. Once in the notch, the mechanism 16 pusher will be held in position to allow replacement of products in front of the pusher mechanism. To unhook the notch piston, the user only needs to push back on pusher surface 52 moving away from the front from the shelf and the piston will retract from the notch automatically allowing the free movement of the pusher mechanism on the base.

In an alternative embodiment, it is contemplated that the pusher mechanism 16 may be mounted on the element 22 divider in the same way and using the same techniques described above with respect to the assembly of mechanism 16 pusher at base 12, or with any mounting technique known, such as the technique described in US Pat.
