Abstract
Module for playing a plurality of promotions, including: a plurality of fixtures sequentially configurable into the plurality of promotions by rotating at least one fixture while maintaining an original position of each fixture within the reconfigurable module, each fixture including a plurality of sides; and a plurality of fasteners to combine the plurality of fixtures into the reconfigurable module. Key words include corrugate, modular, and rotate.
Claims16
A reconfigurable module for displaying a plurality of promotions, the reconfigurable module comprising:
- a plurality of fixtures sequentially reconfigurable into the plurality of promotions by rotating at least one fixture while maintaining an original position of each fixture within the reconfigurable module, each fixture including a plurality of sides,
- wherein each promotion of the plurality of promotions has a plurality of panels, and each panel includes at least two of the plurality of sides,
- wherein fixtures at intersections of two panels use first and second adjacent sides for one promotion of the plurality of promotions and third and fourth adjacent sides for a next promotion of the plurality of promotions, and each of the remaining fixtures having one panel showing for each promotion use one side for the one promotion and an opposite side for the next promotion,
- wherein the sequential re-configuration includes the rotating the at least one fixture during a transition from the one promotion to the next promotion;
- and
- a plurality of fasteners to combine the plurality of fixtures into the reconfigurable module.
A module reconfigurable from a first promotion to a second promotion, the module comprising:
- a plurality of fixtures sequentially reconfigurable from the first promotion to the second promotion by rotating at least one fixture,
- wherein the sequential re-configuration includes the rotating the at least one fixture during a transition from the first promotion to the second promotion,
- wherein a position of each fixture within the module is maintained from the first promotion to the second promotion,
- wherein each promotion of the plurality of promotions has a plurality of panels, and each panel includes a plurality of sides,
- wherein fixtures at intersections of two panels use first and second adjacent sides for the first promotion and third and fourth adjacent sides for the second promotion, and each of the remaining fixtures having one panel use one side for the first promotion and an opposite side for the second promotion;
- and
- a plurality of fasteners to couple the plurality of fixtures together in the first promotion and the second promotion.
A method of reconfiguring a plurality of fixtures to display at least first and second promotions, the method comprising:
- arranging the plurality of fixtures into a modular unit using fasteners to form a first promotion, the plurality of fixtures sequentially reconfigurable from the first promotion to the second promotion;
- and
- rotating at least one fixture of the plurality of fixtures of the first promotion such that different sides of the plurality of fixtures are visible for the second promotion,
- wherein the rotating of the at least one fixture for the second promotion is done during a transition from the first promotion to the second promotion,
- wherein each promotion of the first and second promotions has a plurality of panels, and each panel includes a plurality of sides,
- wherein fixtures at intersections of two panels use first and second adjacent sides for the first promotion and third and fourth adjacent sides for the second promotion, and each of the remaining fixtures having one panel use one side for the first promotion and an opposite side for the second promotion.
