Description

FIGS. 1–7 show an embodiment of my design, wherein various elements are shown in broken lines for environmental purposes only, and form no portion of the claimed ornamental design. FIG. 1–7 are described more fully as follows:

FIG. 1 is a perspective view from the front showing the front and left sides of an embodiment of my design. As shown, an exemplary crown portion atop the unit is shown in broken lines as forming no portion of the claimed ornamental design. Similarly, an interior shelving/cabinetry/drawer system within the unit is shown in broken lines as forming no portion of the claimed ornamental design. As also shown in broken lines, a shield portion may be included in the interior shelving system. Such shield portion is illustrated as substantially “L” shaped and is arranged on one of the interior shelves. This shield portion may be transparent (e.g., glass) or opaque. In certain embodiments, a cash register and/or other POS equipment (and/or merchandise) may be arranged on the interior shelf that has the shield.

FIG. 2 is an elevation view from the front showing the front side of the embodiment of my design. As can be seen from this view, two exterior shelves are also shown, in broken lines, arranged with one shelf above the other, extending from the retail merchandising unit's right side, just as with the two exterior shelves shown in broken lines on the left side in FIG. 1.

FIG. 3 is an elevation view from the right side showing the right side of the embodiment of my design. As can be seen from this view, two exterior shelves are also shown, in broken lines, arranged side-by-side, extending from the retail merchandising unit's back side, just as with the two exterior shelves shown in broken lines on the front side in FIG. 1.

FIG. 4 is an elevation view from the left side showing the left side of the embodiment of my design.

FIG. 5 is an elevation view from the back showing the back side of the embodiment of my design.

FIG. 6 is a plan view from the top showing the top side of the embodiment of my design, the interior portion of which is shown in broken lines as forming no portion of the claimed ornamental design; and,

FIG. 7 is a plan view from the bottom showing the bottom side of the embodiment of my design, wherein the bottom portion is shown in broken lines as the view from the bottom forms no portion of the claimed ornamental design.

It should be understood that the labels used herein for describing orientation (e.g., front, back, top, bottom, right, and left) are merely for reference, and the embodiments of my design may be disposed in any manner and still be within the scope of the present invention.
