Abstract:
A dispenser is disclosed for carrying and dispensing a cable support of the type having a pair of hook structures disposed on opposite sides of a central shaft. The dispenser comprises a plurality of rails extending in parallel, spaced-apart relationship to one another and joined to one another at respective proximal ends thereof. Each rail has a cantilevered distal end slidably receivable within one of the hook structures of the cable support. Each rail further has a cantilevered distal end to allow the cable support to be slidably removed from the rail along the distal end.
Abstract:

The display rack further comprises first, second, and third open sidewall support members each having a first end engaged with the front support member and a second end engaged with the rear support member. The display rack further comprises a first stall formed between the first and second open sidewall support members. The first stall is adapted to receive the first display box. The display rack further comprises a second stall formed between the second and third open sidewall support members. The second stall is adapted to receive the second display box. The front and rear support members support the front and rear portions of the first and second display boxes, respectively.
Abstract:
A container dispenser includes structure to support a nested stack of containers. The dispenser includes a crossbar at the lower end of the structure and a pair of spaced apart upright posts to which a retention wire clip may be removably mounted. The wire clip is designed to engage the exterior side wall or lip of the outermost cup of the nested stack, and in effect, hold the outermost container against the cross bar. This not only keeps the outermost container from falling away from the dispenser but also retains the nested stack in the dispenser. The retention wire clip is preferably formed of spring steel.
Abstract:
A shelf divider member for use with gravity feed shelving systems, having outwardly-extending connector clips at each end, the shelf divider formed of generally elongated L-shaped divider member having a lowered connection point to the associated gravity feed shelf unit at the front, and an elevate+d connection point at the rear. Generally V-shaped divider guests extend downwardly from the elongated divider member to facilitate maintaining gravity feed product within the flow lanes. A plastic slide track sheet associated with the gravity feed shelf unit can be readily removed for cleaning, replacement and reinsertion, all without requiring any removal, including of any portion, of the respective shelf divider members.
Abstract:
A shelving rack includes a frame structure including two generally vertical rear legs and two generally vertical front legs and a plurality of shelves formed of welded wire mesh arranged one above the next with a width substantially equal to the width of the rack and a depth between a front edge and a rear edge substantially equal to but greater than the depth of the rack. Each shelf is supported at the front edge either on a wire of the shelf attached across between the front legs or on a transverse beam of the frame so the weight from the front edge is carried by the front legs. Each shelf is inclined upwardly and rearwardly from the front edge toward the rear edge which is elevated with each shelf having an element forming part of a rear stiffener thereof at the rear edge in engagement with a respective one of the rear legs or a transverse beam across the rear legs.
Abstract:
A gravity feed shelf capable of allowing a distance between a plurality of guide rails to be easily adjusted includes an upper shelf member having a pair of side frames, a pair of cross bars fixed on an upper portion of the side frames, respectively, a pair of junction bars fixed on a lower portion of the side frames, and a pair of guide fixing members, each being disposed on the cross bar. The guide fixing members are used to easily adjust the distance between the guide rails, thereby expanding the range of containers to be store therein. Further, the gravity feed shelf includes a lower shelf member having a pair of U-shaped channels and a plurality of plane members. Each of the plane members has a first surface with a plurality of projections with a relatively low contact area and a second surface with a plurality of projections with a relatively large contact area, the first or the second surfaces being selectively utilized depending on the weight of the containers to be stored.
Abstract:
A rack for a shelf which may be mounted to an existing shelf. The rack has a series of front and rear securing clasps which maintain the rack in a tensioned fashion to the shelf. The rack provides a series of product sleeves defined by overhead rails. Stop members at the front and rear of the rails secure the rails in place and allow the rack to be reversible. The reversible nature of the rack also allows variation of the selected stop height within a single rack. The rack may be a part of a gravity feed shelf assembly.
Abstract:
A shelf assembly suitable for displaying products in refrigerated environments has a wire mat mounted to two brackets. The wire mat has a plurality of spaced-apart, parallel product support rods having integral, downwardly-extending, U-shaped portions in which cross bars are welded. The tops of the cross bars and product support bars are co-planar forming a substantially planar product supporting surface. Stiffening members are welded to the bottom surfaces of the U-shaped portions to impart rigidity to the wire mat. A rearward end bar engages one of a plurality of locking slots in the mounting brackets to provide a plurality of positions for the wire mat. Guide rails extending over the wire mat define discrete product channels. Forwardly-extending portions of the product supporting rods form extensions to the product channels to which product label holders can be mounted. A shelf extension is removably mountable between the brackets when the wire mat is in a forward position.
Abstract:
An apparatus for displaying goods packaged in glass containers on a shelf along the "glass aisle" of a grocery store is disclosed. Included is a bracket having two outwardly extending flanges positionable in a card channel on the front of a store shelf, outwardly extending mounts and a fascia mounted thereto, the fascia including a surface adapted to receive a label appropriate for the goods displayed, a stop to prevent containers from being pushed off the shelf, and opposed holes. Elongated rails extend rearward of the bracket and include outwardly extending forward terminations to permit the rails to be pinched together for alignment with and insertion into the holes in the bracket to join the bracket and rails, facilitating selective detachment of the rails from the bracket, an inner, lower pair of rails on which the containers may be supported, a first outer, upper pair for engaging the sides of the containers, and a second upper pair of rails to restrain tipping of the glass containers. A pusher is adapted to ride on the rails and has channels through which the outer rails extend with a face towards the bracket which conforms to the glass containers' shape. A variable rate tempered spring extends rearward of the bracket to drive the pusher towards the bracket so that the amount of force driving the pusher toward the bracket decreases as the pusher gets closer to the bracket. Thus, the bracket can be engaged on a store shelf with the rails extending toward the rear of the shelf so that the pusher can move forwardly and rearwardly along the rails with the spring member driving the pusher towards the front of the shelf, permitting goods packaged in glass containers to be located by the rails so that the pusher continually advances the glass containers toward the front of the shelf as forward ones of the glass containers are removed.
Abstract:
A storage rack for storing and sequentially dispensing containers is disclosed. The storage rack comprises a base support having a length extending from a rear container receiving port to a front container receiving port. First and second side guides are provided extending substantially the length of the base support member on opposite sides thereof, the side guides being vertically spaced from the base support member by a distance less than the height of the containers. A top guide is provided extending a portion of the length of the base support member. The top guide is vertically offset from the base support member by a distance greater than the height of the container when the container lies flat upon the base support member, but less than the height of the container when the container is tilted upward from the base support member. A front stop bar is disposed adjacent the container dispensing port, transverse to the base support member and vertically spaced therefrom.
