Abstract
A gravity feed dispenser (50) for containers, in which the dispenser (50) carrying the containers includes a pair of longitudinally extending stringers (80) engaging with shelf rack (20) in snap-fitting relation to secure the dispenser (50) to the rack (20). In another embodiment, the dispenser (50) has sidewalls (52) of transparent plastic for product visibility and is provided with a glide strip (100) which is attached to the floor (54) of the dispenser (50) by hooks (102) temporarily, and permanently by fusion of the glide strip (100) to the dispenser (50) as by sonic welding.
Claims8
A gravity feed container dispenser comprising:
- a rack including a plurality of longitudinal rails;
- a container dispenser for dispensing product, including a channel shaped member having opposed sidewalls and a plurality of longitudinally extending stringers and lateral members providing a floor, the stringers having depending attachment means cooperating with the rack rails to hold the dispenser in place on the rack in snap fitted relation;
- a glide strip overlying the floor of the dispenser and having a plurality of longitudinally extending stringers overlying the dispenser stringers and a plurality of lateral members overlying the lateral members of the dispenser, and including attachment means at each end of the glide strip engaging at least two of the lateral members of the dispenser.
A gravity feed container dispenser comprising:
- a container dispenser for dispensing products, the dispenser having a plurality of longitudinal stringers and a plurality of lateral members dispensed at spaced intervals along the length of the stringers;
- a glide strip having a plurality of longitudinally extending stringers overlying the container dispenser stringers but being fewer in number than the dispenser stringers and having a plurality of lateral members overlying selected lateral members, the glide strip having selected longitudinal stringers provided with depending hook members to hook onto selected lateral members of the container dispenser to provide a temporary hook attachment to said selected lateral members, and
- at least two lateral members of the container dispenser being fused as by sonic welding onto associated lateral members of the dispensing container to provide a permanent heat fusion to said lateral members of the glide strip to said associated lateral members of the container dispenser.
