Description
Docket D-2268 -2-3ISCLOSURE OF THE Il~lVENTION
In accordance with this invention in one foml, a wedge shaped structure is arranged for mounting on a generally horizontal support in such man~er that an upper surface thereof is disposed in an inclined plane and a transverse rail is provided with a pair of vertically spaced transverse flanges for receiving therebetween the lowermost edge of the wedge shaped structure so as to afford a transverse bumper extending upwardly together with a plurality ~f generally chamlel shaped low friction elements mounted on the wedge shaped structure in side by side relation and forming a plurality o downwardly inclined guide paths for respectively receiving a plurality of rows of articles the lowermost of which in each row is engageable with said bumper whereby movement thereof 15 iS arrested. In accordance with a feature of the invention a third transverse flange is provided and is spaced above the upper one of said pair of transverse flanges so as to form a channel for receiving the lower end of said low friction elements and a sui~able tape having adhesive on opposite surfaces thereof is arranged for adherance ~o a bottom of said wedge shaped structure and to the upper surface of a support so as to secure the wedge shaped struc~ure in place. In accordance with another feature of the invention, tape having adhesive on opposite sur~aces is secured to the back surface of the wedge shaped structure and is arranged to eng~ge a wall or to engage an L-shaped bracket in such manner that a horizontal leg of the L-shaped bracket engages the lower surface of a support so as to secure the wedge shaped structure in position on the support.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
In the drawings FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a gravity feed display unit forMed according to the invention and which shows the unit mounted on a hori~ontal support;
Docket D-2268 -3-FIG. 2 is a perspective view from a vantage point below the unit and which shows the lower porLion thereof and FIG. 3 is a cross sectional view of the unit illustrated in FIG. 2 and which shows that unit mounted on a suppor~ structure.
BEST MODE OF CARRYI~G OUT THE INVENTION
5~~ In the drawings the numeral 1 designates a horizontal - support and the numeral 2 designates a vertical element which forms a part of horizontal support 1. Structures 1 and 2 could constltute a conventional horizontal shelf forming a component of a display unit for use ln supermarket outlets and the like. The gravity feed display unit formed according to this invention is generally designated by the numeral 3 and as is apparent from FIG. 1, gravity display unit 3 is mounted atop horizontal support 1 and with its rear edge adjacent the vertical panel 2.
1~ Gravity feed display unit 3 comprises a wedge shaped structure 4 which preferably is formed of foam material as is apparent particularly from FIGS. 1 and 3.
The upper surface 5 of wedge shaped structure 4 is inclined downwardly and away from vertical panel or wall 2 and thus surface 5 lies in an inclined plane.
A transverse rail structure generally designated by the numeral 6 includes a pair of transverse vertically spaced flanges 7 and 8 which receive therebetween the front or lowermost edge 9 of the wedge shaped structure 4. Rail structure 6 also includes a transverse bumper 10 which extends above the lowermost or front edge of wedge shaped structure 4. Windows as indica~ed at 11 are ormed in bumper structure 10 for affording product visibility.
For receiving a plurality of rows of articles to be displayed, a plurality of channel shaped low friction elements designated by the numeral 12 are mounted on the wedge shaped structure 4 in side by side relation so as to form a plurality Docket D~2268 -4-of downwardly inclined guide paths for respec~ively receiving a plurality of rows of articles. As is obvious, the lowermost article in each row of articles is arranged to engage the transverse bumper 10 which obviously arrests forward 5 _ movement thereof.
For securing the lowermost end of the channels 12 in position relative to wedge shaped structure 4, a horizontal flange 13 is formed integrally with rail 6 and is spaced upwardly above the channel 8 so as to receive the lowermost ends of the channels 12 as is apparent in the drawings.
Since t'ne gravity feed display unit generally designa~ed by the numeral 3 and formed according to this invention may be used in conjunction with support structures designated by the numeral l and which may be of different dimensions from front to rear, it is possible that the front edge of display unit 3 may project outwardly beyond the front edge such as la of support 1. In this event it is desirable to provide supplementary support means for the front edge of wedge shaped structure 4. Toward this end the flange 7 is arranged as is obvious in the drawings to project rearwardly to the point indicated at 7a and by this means to provide support for the front edge of wedge shaped structure 4 as is shown in the drawings.
In order to secure the gravity feed display unit 3 in position atop a support such as that indicated by the numeral l, a tape designated by the numeral 14 is provided in accordance with one facet of this invention. Tape 14 is the type which includes adhesive on its opposite surfaces.
Thus with the tape 14 secured to the bottom surface 4a of the ~edge shapedstructure 4 and near the rear part thereof, adhesive on ~he lowermost surface of tape 14 forms a bond with support 1. This adhesive action secures the wedge shaped structure 4 in position on support l.
'Doc'~e~ D 2268 -5-In ins~c.nces whcLe ~le ver~ical panel 2 is '.lO~
employe~ or where s-~po,~ 1 is spaced horizontally frG~ a verLical paneI suc.l as 2, it is desirable to provide supplementary securing means in L'ne form OL t'ne L-shaped 5~ bracket designated by the nu~eral 15 and as shown in -- FIGS, 2 and 3. L-shaped bracket 15 is secured io the rear panel 4b o,'wèdge sha~ed sLruc~ure by rr,eans of ~ape 16 which like tape 14 is ~rovided with adhesi~e on opposite surfaces thereof.
Th~s with the tape 16 securely a~.her~d to the'rear surface io 4b of wedge shaped structure 4, the bracket 15 having U2L igh~
component 15a is arranged with panel 15a secured to the outer surface of tape 16 simply by removal OL the s.~rip o~ masking material which o~erlies the outer surface of tape 16.~ Thereafter panel 15a of bracket 15 may be secured to tape 16 at ~he desired elevation so that ~he horizontal panel 15b of bracke~ 15 'underlies a lower sur~ace such as lb which,forms a parc of structure 1. Thus by this means bracke~ 15 aids in securing Lhe gravity ~eed unit 3 in position atop support 1. In appropriate situations, it ~ay be desirable to use either the tape 14 or ~he tape 16 or in some ins~ances both these units and -~he bracke~ 15 may be employed. For some a?~lica~ions of the invention, it is ~esirable to secure the panel 15a o, bracket 15 to the rear 4b o wedge shaped structure by suitable mechanical means such as screws, nails, or a complementary bracke~ or ~he like as is . obvious.
~ 3USTRIAL APPLICAB~LITY
This invention is par~icularly well suited to provide an economical gravity feed unit ~or use in 30 installations where generally horizon~ally dlsposed sup?ort surfaces are already in exis~ence. Such support surfaces may constitute a building floor or a horizon~al shelf of a conventiona.l shelf unit or some o~her suppor~ surface sucll as a counter ~op.
In accordance with this invention in one foml, a wedge shaped structure is arranged for mounting on a generally horizontal support in such man~er that an upper surface thereof is disposed in an inclined plane and a transverse rail is provided with a pair of vertically spaced transverse flanges for receiving therebetween the lowermost edge of the wedge shaped structure so as to afford a transverse bumper extending upwardly together with a plurality ~f generally chamlel shaped low friction elements mounted on the wedge shaped structure in side by side relation and forming a plurality o downwardly inclined guide paths for respectively receiving a plurality of rows of articles the lowermost of which in each row is engageable with said bumper whereby movement thereof 15 iS arrested. In accordance with a feature of the invention a third transverse flange is provided and is spaced above the upper one of said pair of transverse flanges so as to form a channel for receiving the lower end of said low friction elements and a sui~able tape having adhesive on opposite surfaces thereof is arranged for adherance ~o a bottom of said wedge shaped structure and to the upper surface of a support so as to secure the wedge shaped struc~ure in place.
