Description
- The present invention relates generally to a point-of-sale device for an article to be sold at a retail shop, wherein the device is adapted to be mounted on a horizontally extending elongated element of a vertically extending mounting structure, and wherein the device includes plural panels with information about the article.
- One type of point-of-sale device, particularly used for hardware articles, includes horizontally extending elongated elements on a vertically extending mounting structure of a retail shop. Typically, the vertically extending mounting structure is a pegboard and the horizontally extending elongated elements are rods carried by anchors on the pegboard. The point-of-sale device typically includes a cardboard panel that carries the article in a blister pack or other similar container including a transparent portion, enabling a prospective buyer to see the article. The panel includes an opening enabling the entire point-of-sale device to be carried by the rod and enabling the point-of-sale device to be removed from the rod for inspection by a prospective purchaser. The panel includes text and illustrations with information concerning the article. The information includes, inter alia, how to assemble and/or use the article. However, the amount of space available for the information, as well as for promotional material concerning the article, is limited because the panels are relatively small, because of the limited amount of space a retailer is willing to allocate to the point-of-sale device in a retail shop.
- However, United States retailers are now requiring the information on point-of-sale devices of the foregoing type to be in one or more languages other than English, so that the information on the point-of-sale devices must be in English, Spanish and/or French in many instances. This requirement exacerbates the space problem because the retailer will not permit the point-of-sale device to occupy a greater area in the retail shop. However, lettering and graphical information on the point-of-sale device must have a fairly large minimum size. Otherwise, the information is of virtually no value to many prospective customers and/or users of the purchased article.
- It is, accordingly, an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved point-of-sale device that is adapted to be mounted on a horizontally extending elongated element of a vertically extending mounting structure of a retail shop.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a point-of-sale device adapted to be mounted on a horizontally extending elongated element of a vertically extending mounting structure of a retail shop, wherein the device can provide a substantially increased amount of information, without requiring additional area in the shop.
- A further object of the invention is to provide a new and improved point-of-sale device for hardware articles to be sold at a retail shop, wherein the device is adapted to be mounted on a horizontally extending elongated element of a vertically extending mounting structure of the shop and the point-of-sale device includes information about the article in plural languages, with lettering and graphics sufficiently large to be acceptable to a prospective purchaser, and wherein the point-of-sale device does not occupy additional area in the shop, compared to the prior art.
- Yet another object of the invention is to provide a new and improved point-of-sale device adapted to be mounted on a horizontally extending elongated element of a vertically extending mounting structure of a retail shop, wherein the point-of-sale device includes plural interconnected panels carrying information about an article carried by the point-of-sale device and wherein the panels, after being accessed by a prospective purchaser, can be easily returned to the initial condition thereof, for further inspection by other prospective purchasers and future use by an actual purchaser.
- In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, a point-of-sale device for an article to be sold at a retail shop is adapted to be mounted on a horizontally extending elongated element of a vertically extending mounting structure of the retail shop and comprises a structure for enabling the device to be presented to a prospective purchaser of the article at the retail shop. The structure for enabling the device to be presented includes an arrangement for enabling the device to be hung on the elongated element. The structure includes plural interconnected panels having one or more common edges. The panels are folded about the one or more common edges so that the device, when hung on the elongated element has substantially the same area as the largest panel. At least three faces of the plural panels include information about the article that is carried on the device in a manner enabling the article to be visible to the prospective purchaser while the device is hanging on the elongated element.
- Preferably, at least one of the panels includes a non-permanent fastener arrangement for holding a pair of the panels in an abutting relation while the point-of-sale device is on the elongated element. In one arrangement, the non-permanent fastener arrangement is on the pair of panels and includes a hook and loop fastener arrangement on the pair of panels and that holds the plural panels together. In a second arrangement, the non-permanent fastener arrangement is on the pair of panels and includes an easy on and off adhesive arrangement on the pair of panels and that holds the plural panels together. In a third arrangement, the non-permanent adhesive arrangement is a gel adhesive on a single face of the device.
- Preferably, an exterior face of one of the panels carries the article and all faces of the device carry information about the article. Usually, the information about the article is graphical and textual, with the textual information being in different languages.
- In a preferred configuration, when the device is folded about the at least one edge (a) a first face of a first panel of the device is completely exposed to a prospective purchaser as the purchaser looks at the first face of the first panel, and (b) a portion of a first face of a second panel of the device is exposed to a prospective purchaser as the purchaser looks at the first face of the first panel, a first language being on the first face, a second language being on the exposed portion of the second face.
- In accordance with a first embodiment, the device includes two panels having a common edge, wherein the panels are folded together at the edge to form a four page booklet.
- In accordance with a second embodiment of the invention, the device includes three panels, such that a first of the panels is a center panel, a second of the panels is an exterior panel having a first common edge with the center panel, and a third of the panels is an exterior panel having a second common edge with the center panel. The third panel is folded along the second edge so that a first face thereof abuts a first face of the first panel. The second panel is folded along the first common edge so that a first face thereof abuts a second face of the third panel. The first face of the second panel and the second face of the third panel are in abutting relation. Preferably, the non-permanent faster arrangement is on at least a first face of the second panel to hold the first face of the second panel and the second face of the third panel in abutting relation.
- In accordance with a third embodiment of the invention, the device includes four panels, such that a first and a second of the panels are interior panels having a first common edge, while the first and third panels have a second common edge. The third and fourth panels are exterior panels. The third panel is folded along the second edge so that a first face of the third panel abuts a first face of the first panel. The first panel is folded along the first edge so that a second face of the third panel abuts a first face of the second panel. The fourth panel is folded along the third edge so that a first face of the fourth panel abuts a second face of the first panel. A first face of the fourth panel and the second face of the first panel abut. Thus the device has two exterior faces that are second faces of the second and fourth panels. Preferably, the non-permanent fastener arrangement is on the second face of the fourth panel and/or the second face of the second panel.
