Abstract
Display assemblies with an incorporated lift box are disclosed, along with related systems and methods. The display assembly includes a common structure including and/or forming the lift box in a base thereof. An electronic display subassembly is connected to the common structure and includes a cover layer and an electronic display layer. Two such display assemblies may be arranged at a common surface such that an open end of the lift boxes faces in an at least substantially same direction. Forks of a forklift or pallet jack may be moved into the lift boxes for transporting the display assemblies together.
Claims17
A display assembly with an incorporated lift box for a fork of a forklift or pallet jack, said display assembly comprising:
- a common structure comprising and/or forming the lift box in a base thereof, said common structure comprising:
- a platform forming part of the base and a lower surface of the lift box;
- and
- at least one of:
- feet, forming art of the common structure, and extending from a lower surface of the platform;
- and
- apertures provided in the platform outside of a footprint of the lift box for receiving fasteners;
- and
- an electronic display subassembly connected to the common structure and comprising a cover layer facing in a first direction and an electronic display layer located rearward of the cover layer;
- wherein a longitudinal axis of the lift box extends in a second direction which is at least substantially perpendicular to the first direction.
A system for transporting multiple display assemblies together, each having an incorporated lift box, said system comprising:
- first and second display assemblies each comprising:
- a common structure comprising and/or forming the lift box in a base thereof;
- and
- an electronic display subassembly connected to the common structure and comprising a cover layer and an electronic display layer located rearward of the cover layer;
- and
- a common surface, where the first and second display assemblies are mounted to the common surface in an arrangement such that each of the lift boxes accepts one of the forks of a forklift or pallet jack, and such that the lift boxes collectively accept the forks of the forklift or pallet jack.
A display assembly with an incorporated lift box for a fork of a forklift or pallet jack, said display assembly comprising:
- a common structure comprising and/or forming the lift box in a base thereof;
- a first electronic display subassembly connected to the common structure and comprising a cover layer facing in a first direction and an electronic display layer located rearward of the cover layer;
- and
- a second electronic display subassembly connected to the common structure and comprising a cover layer and an electronic display layer, each facing in a third direction at least substantially opposite the first direction;
- wherein a longitudinal axis of the lift box extends in a second direction which is at least substantially perpendicular to the first direction.
