Abstract: A merchandising track device for displaying articles is disclosed. The device comprises first and second elongate track members formed separately as two discrete structures. The first and second members are connected together in an end-to-end, longitudinally adjacent relationship. Each member comprises a track base for carrying articles for sliding movement along the respective member, and at least one article-guiding side wall upstanding from the track base of the respective member and extending along the respective member. The one side wall of the first member is disposed in general longitudinal alignment with the one side wall of the second member. The track device further comprises a locking mechanism for interconnecting the one side wall of the first member and the one side wall of the second member to lock the first and second members in position relative to each other.

Abstract: A beverage display rack provides a track on which beverage containers slide forward for dispensing. A rib on the track engages a groove in the beverage container. The groove has a predefined relationship with the label on the container so that the label faces forward when the rib engages the groove. The rib can be an upstanding rib which extends upward from the bottom of the track or can extend inward from the sidewall of the track toward the center of the display rack to engage a groove in the beverage container. Existing display racks can be retrofitted with an insert that fits in the track and has a protruding rib to engage the beverage container.

Abstract: A display rack for a plurality of beverage bottles includes a base member with a plurality of vertically disposed channel members mounted thereon. Each channel member has a longitudinal slot and a keyway along the slot. The keyway or top of the slot receives the beverage bottles and holds the bottles by the neck ring which is larger in lateral dimension than the width of the slot. Bottles are dispensed one at a time through the keyway by moving a bottle up or down to align it in the keyway where it can be pulled laterally through the keyway.

Abstract: A display rack for displaying all sizes of beverage bottles has a single upright panel with a plurality of keyways. Each keyway receives and holds a beverage bottles by its neck ring. Each keyway has an arcuate upper portion, and arcuate lower portion smaller in dimension than the upper portion, and a generally straight intermediate portion connecting the upper and lower portions. Each keyway limits upward movement of one head of one bottle inserted therein while allowing the body of the bottle to tilt downward.

Abstract: A gravity feed merchandising device includes a plurality of longitudinally extending, downwardly inclined tracks. Each track includes a pair of parallel rails defining a space therebetween. The rails support a row of bottles such that the underside of each bottle neck flange engages the rails for movement relative to the rails. Each track is provided at its front end with a spring-urged stopper so that the cap of the leading bottle in that track is prevented from dislodgement through the front end of the track when the leading bottle is supported by the track, but can be removed from the track through the front end when pulled against the stopper.

Abstract: A display rack for displaying all sizes of beverage bottles has a support column with a plurality of keyways. Each keyway receives and holds a beverage bottle by its neck ring. Each keyway limits upward movement of one head of one bottle inserted therein while allowing the body of the bottle to tilt downward to thereby hold the bottle by its neck. A plurality of brackets, each having a keyway, can be fastened to the support column with each bracket having a lower connecting flange fastened to the support column and an upper positioning flange. The brackets can be fastened to one another forming a vertical column without the vertical support member. Each bracket has a lower horizontally oriented connecting flange and an angled upper positioning to cause a bottle to tilt downward when inserted in the keyway. The keyways can be formed in the support column without brackets or the brackets can surround the support column forming platforms.

Abstract: A display rack for displaying all sizes of beverage bottles has a bottom, laterally extending cross member, a top, laterally extending cross member spaced from and above the bottom cross member, and vertical support members for supporting the top and bottom cross members. The top cross member has at least one keyway for receiving the head of a beverage bottle and holding the beverage bottle. The keyway limits upward movement of the bottle the associated bottom cross member limits downward movement of the bottle.

Abstract: Display cabinet comprises a housing and a front door for closing the open front of the housing. The front door is connected to one of the housing walls for movement between the closed position and the opened position. The front door comprises a first panel member connected to the one housing wall for pivotal movement about a first axis, and a second panel member connected to the first panel member for pivotal movement about a second axis. The first and second axes are disposed generally parallel to each other such that when the front door is in the closed position, the first and second panel members lie in the same plane, and when the front door is in the opened position, the first and second panel members take an erected form of a V-shaped cross section which erected form has an edge extending along the second axis.

Abstract: A merchandising track device includes an elongate track base for carrying articles, such as bottles, cans, bricks or the like, for sliding movement along said track base, a pair of opposed side walls upstanding from the track base and extending at least partially along the opposite side edges of the track base, a pair of front stoppers extending respectively from the side walls toward each other to their respective free side edges, and a front wall member attached to and connecting between the spaced front stoppers. The front wall member has a pair of grippers for receiving the free side edges of the front stoppers. Each gripper includes front and rear elements disposed with a gap therebetween to receive in the gap the free side edge of the respective front stopper. The lower end of the rear element of each gripper is disposed above that of the front element of that gripper.

Abstract: A front panel for a display rack has a base, upstanding sidewalls connected along their bottom end portions to the base, face members connected to the front edges of the sidewalls, and an elongate connecting member connected to the top end portions of the face members. The base, face members and connecting member define a viewing window for the display rack through which a beverage container in a display rack in a refrigerator can be viewed. The base and connecting member curve outward to position a beverage container forward in the display rack.

Abstract: A merchandising device comprises first and second elongated parallel tracks arranged side by side, and a spacer for maintaining a space between the first and second tracks. Each track includes a pair of spaced parallel rails for suspending a row of bottles therefrom such that said bottles in said row are slidably engaged with said rails for movement along that track and are removable from that track through its front end. The spacer comprises a first limb integrally formed with the first track and extending to the second track.

Abstract: A merchandising device is designed for dispensing bottles each having an integrally formed annular neck flange. The device includes an elongate track for supporting a row of the bottles such that the bottles in the row are suspended by their neck flanges for movement along the track and are removable from the track through the front end of the track. The track includes a pair of side walls interconnected by a top wall to form a channel structure, and a C-shaped reinforcing flange provided at the front end of the track to increase the rigidity of the front end.
