Abstract
A modular merchandising display system which, for example, allows for the ability to easily mount and remove samples of household hardware products (e.g. cabinet or bath hardware) and visualize the hardware mounted to e.g. kitchen or bath cabinets, by allowing a person to remove the sample hardware and hold it up to e.g. kitchen or bath cabinets. The display system includes at least one slat wall piece, at least one display channel on a first side of the slat wall piece configured for displaying at least one item and for providing interchangeability of the displayed item; and at least one frame piece framing the at least one slat wall piece.
Claims26
A display system comprising:
- a plurality of interlocking slat wall pieces vertically interlocked together, wherein each slat wall piece comprises at least one display channel on a first side of the slat wall piece, wherein, the plurality of interlocking slat wall pieces are configured such that when interlocked together, each of the at least one display channels are located only on one side of the display system, and wherein each slat wall piece comprises:
- an upper locking groove disposed at a top side of each slat wall piece comprising an upper horizontal element;
- and
- a lower locking lip disposed at a bottom side of each slat wall piece comprising an upper horizontal face corresponding to the upper horizontal element of the upper locking groove;
- and
- wherein the lower locking lip of an upper slat wall piece is configured to be received in the upper locking groove of a lower slat wall piece such that the upper slat wall piece and the lower slat wall piece are interlocked together;
- a plurality of display pieces each having a base configured to display a display item attached thereto;
- and
- wherein each display piece is configured to be removably received in the at least one display channel for providing interchangeability of the display pieces;
- and
- wherein a top portion of each display piece is configured to be received first in an upper groove of the at least one display channel, and wherein each display piece is further configured to be tilted such that it clears a top edge of a lower groove of the at least one display channel, and a lower portion thereof is configured to be dropped in the lower groove after tilting, and wherein the upper groove and the lower groove are configured to cooperate with each display piece to allow each display piece to be tilted and dropped.

- and
- a bottom end;
- wherein the top end of the lower slat wall piece is configured to receive the bottom end of the upper slat wall piece and wherein the top end of the lower slat wall piece is configured to retain the bottom end of the upper slat wall in at least two dimensions;
- wherein, when the bottom end of the upper slat wall piece is received by the top end of the bottom slat wall piece, the slat wall pieces comprise an interlocked connection and are configured substantially coplanar with a vertical axis;
- and
- at least one display channel on a first side of the slat wall piece, each display channel comprising a channel height and a depth;
- wherein each display channel comprises
