Description
- The present invention relates to an improved shelf tray assembly for use to hold and move forward in a simple and efficient way articles of a given dimension placed on a shelf toward a front edge of this shelf in order to allow frontal display of these articles.
- Shelf tray assemblies of the above-mentioned type, also called “universal shelving”, “shelf display dispenser” or “shelf organizer”, are products that are already known and commonly used in retail stores where it is desirable that the articles displayed on a shelf extend near the front edge of the shelf in order to give to the consumers an impression of cleanliness and order. Frontal display is also desirable for the consumers since they do not have to reach to the back of the shelf to pick up the desired article, in the case where other articles placed in front of the shelf have already been picked up. Such a frontal display may in fact allow the store owner to increase his/her sales by displaying the articles in a more desirable fashion and by allowing the consumer to have quicker and easier access to the article labels, and thus to shop more easily.
- As to the utility and advantages of such kind of shelf tray assembly, reference can be made by way of non-restrictive examples to U.S. Pat. No. 6,527,127 that was granted on Mar. 4, 2003, with designation of the same inventor and same assignee. Reference can also be made to the numerous prior art references that are discussed in the preamble of the specification of this U.S. patent and on the cover sheet of it.
- In this U.S. Pat. No. 6,527,127, the track which is used to support the articles, is provided with pushing means to pull the articles forward to the front of the shelf. This track is connected to a front rail positioned onto the shelf close to the front edge thereof, and to a rear rail positioned onto the shelf at a distance away from the front rail. Such a connection is achieved by means of grooves that are provided in the front and rear ends of the track, and may be snapped onto the front and rear rails, respectively.
- A problem with the existing assemblies is that, once the track is snapped on its holding rails, it can easily be moved laterally on one side or the other, unless very specific means such as teeth are used. If, however, such teeth are used, it becomes very difficult to remove the track and move it, especially when the assembly has to accommodate articles of dimensions different from those that were used so far on the same track.
- Another problem with the existing assemblies is that some of them have one lateral partition that projects from the track in order to extend vertically and thus laterally guide and retain the articles in position onto the track when these articles are pulled forward. However, in all the shelf tray assemblies known to the Applicant, such a lateral partition forms an integral part of the track and is therefore always positioned at a same given distance away from the guiding rail that serves to guide the pusher element used to pull the articles forward toward the front edge of the shelf.
- The present invention is directed to a plurality of improvements made to a shelf tray assembly for use to hold and move forward in a simple and efficient way articles of a given dimension placed on a shelf toward a front edge of the shelf in order to allow frontal display of said articles, which assembly is of the type comprising:
-
- (i) a front rail installable onto the shelf close to its front edge, this front rail having an upper surface of a given length with an upwardly projecting tongue extending all over its length,
- (ii) a rear rail installable onto the shelf at a distance away from the front rail in parallel relationship therewith, this rear rail also having an upper surface of a given length with an upwardly projecting tongue extending all over its length;
- (iii) at least one track extending perpendicularly to the front edge of the shelf, each said at least one track having:
- a front end with a bottom surface provided with a transversal groove sized to be snapped onto the tongue of the front rail;
- a rear end with a bottom surface provided with a transversal groove sized to be snapped onto the tongue of the rear rail; and
- an upper surface having a longitudinal portion devised to receive and support the articles to be displayed, this upper surface comprising a guiding rail that extends perpendicularly to the front edge of the shelf when the track is insta led; and
- (iv) pushing means comprising:
- a pushing element projecting upwardly from each of said at least one track, this pusher element being slideably mounted into the guiding rail of said at least one track; and
- means for pulling the pushing element toward the front end of the at least one track.
- In accordance with the invention, the above-mentioned shelf tray assembly is improved in that:
-
- its front rail (i) also has an upwardly projecting L-shaped element extending rearwardly of the tongue of the front rail in parallel relationship therewith; and
- the front end of each of said at least one track (iii) also has at least one clip sized and positioned to clip onto the L-shaped element of the front rail when the track is installed.
- Thanks to these clips, each track is mounted in a rigid manner onto the front rail and can therefore be moved laterally only if these clips are released.
- In accordance with a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, each of the tracks of the improved shelf tray assembly according to the invention, also has a set of parallel slots that are made in its upper surface and extend in parallel relationship with respect to the guiding rail. These slots are devised to receive at least one lateral partition detachably insertable therein in such a manner as to extend vertically and thus to laterally guide and retain the articles positioned onto the at least one track while these articles are pulled forward.
- Preferably, each lateral partition which is of a given height, can be replaced by another one of a different height, depending on the size of the articles to be guided.
- In accordance with another particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the above-mentioned shelf tray assembly may further comprise a retaining plate of a given width and height that is detachably connectable to the pushing element of each of the at least one track, the retaining plate providing better holding and stability to the articles mounted on the track when they are pulled forward.
- Advantageously, all the components of the improved shelf tray assembly according to the invention are made of molded plastic material. Advantageously also, each track is of small thickness ranging from ¼ to 5/16 inches and has a length ranging from 12 to 20 inches.
