Abstract
A modular display for consumer products, contains a support frame, several modular display shelves that can be displaced in a rotating manner upwards and downwards in relation to the frame, several containment elements that can slide laterally on a support grille, frontal securing elements and bracket elements that allow the modular shelves to rotate. The modular display allows the products to stay organized, contained and permanently at the front of the display. The display also facilitates the counting and distribution of the products. In addition, the modular display allows products of different dimensions, to be displayed, by simple adjustments to their configuration.
Claims17
A modular display for consumer products comprising:
- support frame including stringers;
- at least two display shelves constructed and arranged to be rotated and displaced upwardly or downwardly with respect to said support frame, each of said display shelves including:
- a support grille;
- and
- a plurality of containment elements, including end containment elements and intermediary containment elements, arranged in lateral, side-by-side relation across said display shelf, each of said containment elements being laterally slidably connected to said support grille to permit relative sliding adjustment between adjacent pairs of said containment elements to thereby adjust the size of a product-receiving space therebetween, each of said end containment elements including a frontal wall, a lateral wall, a back wall, a bottom wall, and a guide element disposed on an upper part of said lateral wall, said guide element of said end containment element projecting transversely to one side of said lateral wall along at least a portion said lateral wall, and each of said intermediary containment elements including a frontal wall, a central wall, a back wall, a bottom wall, and a guide element disposed on an upper part of said central wall, said guide element of said intermediary containment element projecting transversely to opposite sides of said central wall along at least a portion of said central wall, wherein the guide element of each of said containment elements cooperates with the guide element of each laterally adjacent containment element to guide product sliding through the product-receiving space between the adjacent containment elements;
- and
- bracket elements connected to opposite sides of each of said display shelves, each of said bracket elements being engageable with a selected portion of a corresponding one of said stingers to secure said display shelf at a selected position along said corresponding stinger, said bracket element being constructed and arranged to permit upward and downward rotation of said shelf with respect to said support frame and to permit locking of said shelf with respect to said support frame in either of a generally horizontal orientation or an inclined orientation.
