Abstract: An advertising display unit adaptable for attachment to a guard structure such as upright supports located adjacent the fuel pump islands associated with a typical service station, the present display unit including a sign structure having a pair of generally opposed display panels positioned in spaced apart relationship so as to form a cavity adaptable for receiving the guard structure. Each display panel includes an attachment structure for removably securing the sign structure to the guard structure so as to retain the display unit in a generally upright orientation. In a preferred embodiment, the attachment structure includes a plurality of openings associated with each display panel and a plurality of tie members or cable straps positionable through selected openings for pulling a portion of each display panel into engagement with the guard structure.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for changing the appearance of an existing product display unit including providing a panel member having a shape and appearance different from the shape and appearance of at least one side portion of the product display unit, and attaching the panel member to at least a portion of the product display unit such that, when so attached, the panel member interacts with the product merchandising unit to transform the overall appearance of the product display unit.

Abstract: A product inventory control system is provided that utilizes both fixed and movable racks. The present system may be utilized in a walk-in display cooler or other product storage application to help with inventory management and to provide easy access to stored product. The racks of the present system include shelf support members that are selectively positionable at a plurality of different orientations so as to achieve different product support surface orientations relative to a horizontal The shelf support members are adapted for storing a plurality of different types of products and product containers. Movable racks are positioned in front of fixed racks whereby movement of a movable rack provides access to a rack positioned therebehind.

Abstract: A product module for supporting and merchandising product containers therefrom including at least one elongated product channel defined by a pair of laterally spaced upstanding side walls and a substantially planar product supporting floor portion extending therebetween, each product channel having at least one front member spaced above the floor portion and partially bridging the product channel side walls, the at least one front member including a first wall portion extending from one of the product channel side walls and a second wall portion extending from the other of the product channel side walls. The first and second front wall portions define a space therebetween and are sufficiently resilient so as to allow a lead product container positioned within a product channel to be pulled therethrough to facilitate removal of the lead product container from the product channel.

Abstract: A product storage and merchandising unit adaptable for attachment to the underside portion of existing product merchandising equipment, the present unit having a plurality of openings positioned adjacent at least a portion of either the top or bottom portion of each of the opposed side portions thereof, the openings being adaptable for receiving appropriate attachment members for attaching the unit to the underside portion of the product merchandising equipment located thereabove. The attachment members may take the form of hook members, tie-type fasteners or other appropriate members, each attachment member being engageable with both the existing product merchandising equipment and at least one of the openings associated with the opposed side portions of the unit. In one embodiment, at least two sets of openings positioned in spaced apart parallel and aligned relationship to each other are associated with each of the opposed side portions of the unit.

Abstract: A display rack including a plurality of subassemblies which are removably stackably arranged one on top of the other to achieve a particular display rack height. Each subassembly includes a plurality of upright support members and a plurality of shelf members which are adjustably positionable between a substantially flat horizontal orientation and a gravity feed orientation. Each shelf member includes a removably attachable product organizer member which cooperates with the respective shelf members to align and guide products positioned thereon within segregated product channels. The present display rack may also include a plurality of side shelf members which are removably attachable to the side portions of each of the subassemblies for providing additional shelf space, and the present display rack may include a header assembly which is removably attachable to the upright support members associated with the uppermost subassembly forming the present display rack.

Abstract: A product module for supporting and merchandising product containers therefrom including at least one elongated product channel defined by a pair of laterally spaced upstanding side walls and a substantially planar product supporting floor portion extending therebetween, each product channel having at least one front member spaced above the floor portion and partially bridging the product channel side walls, the at least one front member including a first wall portion extending from one of the product channel side walls and a second wall portion extending from the other of the product channel side walls. The first and second front wall portions define a space therebetween and are sufficiently resilient so as to allow a lead product container positioned within a product channel to be pulled therethrough to facilitate removal of the lead product container from the product channel.

Abstract: A container for the collection of waste products including a base receptacle and a cover, the base receptacle having an upper lip portion, at least one rim portion and a supporting ledge. The cover is removably engageable with the base receptacle such that at least a portion of the cover engages at least a portion of the at least one rim portion when the cover is installed on the base receptacle thereby providing at least one peripheral area of contact between the cover and the base receptacle for securing a flexible bag liner therebetween. The base receptacle and cover are molded together as a one piece integral unit joined together by a web of material which connects the two component parts together. The cover is separated from the base receptacle by removal of the web of material.
