Abstract: A display system has conductive shelf support brackets. A pair of conductive standards has slots, supporting at least one of the conductive shelf support brackets. The conductive standards have front and back standard surfaces. The front and back standard surfaces have a conductive protective coating. An insulating standard cover is pre-formed and preconfigured prior to assembly to the conductive standards. The insulating standard cover covers at least one of the conductive standards. An illumination structure includes a circuit board, and an array of light emitting diodes (LEDs) on a surface of the circuit board, and a connector at each end of the circuit board. Each connector is adapted to connect to a respective one of the shelf support brackets.

Abstract: At least one pair of conductive standards have a plurality of slots for receiving and supporting the conductive support brackets of a display module, with a low voltage power source electrically connected to the pair of conductive standards for supplying power to the display module through the conductive standards and support brackets.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of feeding containers on a pusher track includes these steps. Push a pusher back before the tray is loaded. Latch the pusher at a back end of the pusher track, by catching a pusher guide in a horizontal notch in an edge of the track. Load a backmost container. Load further containers, and thereby push the backmost container towards the pusher, and automatically unlatch the pusher. Push the backmost container against a more forwardly rotated sidewall of the pusher, thereby horizontally rotating the pusher slider out of the notch, and unlatching the pusher, to push the containers forward.

Abstract: One embodiment of the invention relates to a two-tiered shelf display having a plurality of trays one stacked on top of the other. The trays can have both channels where each channel from a top tray feeds into the corresponding channel on a bottom tray. At least one embodiment includes the two tray system with the first try serving as a base tray and a second tray serving as a top tray which can be coupled to or configured to rest upon the base tray. These trays can be configured to rest upon a rack. The rack can be part of the shelf system as well.

Abstract: A display shelf system includes at least one pair of conductive support brackets. At least one pair of conductive standards have a plurality of slots for receiving and supporting the conductive support brackets. An insulating rail cover is disposed at least partially over at least one of the conductive standards. An illumination apparatus includes LEDs (light emitting diodes), disposed on a surface of a circuit board having a connector at each end. A low voltage power supply can power the light emitting diodes through the conductive standards.

Abstract: A retail display shelf system has a gondola. There are a pair of conductive standards which are cooperatively configured for supporting conductive shelf support brackets. A circuit board has an array of light emitting diodes. The circuit board has, at each end, a connector. Each connector is adapted to connect electrically to its respective shelf support bracket, so that current travels from a low voltage power supply through the somewhat vertical standards through the shelf support brackets, through the circuit board, to power each of the LEDs, to illuminate local parts of the retail display shelf system. Various display elements reflect or transmit the light.

Abstract: A pusher system, for merchandising products, such as plates. The pusher system 2 has a tray 6. The tray 6 has a floor 10. A pair of wings are affixed to both sides of the floor, to hold products centered on the tray. A pusher 40 is slidably mounted on the floor. A spring biases the pusher customerward, thereby propelling the products customerward to barrier, which holds the products, which are forced against the barrier by the pusher.

Abstract: A lighting assembly (9) for a standard in-store display shelf (2). The standard shelf is mounted on a standard in-store shelf bracket (4), having in-store header mounting hardware (6), which standard in-store display shelf (2) includes a conventional metal spring clip (10) for mounting a standard light fixture. The lighting assembly has a mount (11) for spring mounting to clip (10). The mount has rails (16-19), which form a pair of board channels (19A-B). A circuit board (20) slide mounts into the board channels. The circuit board serves as a mount for an array of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs).

A circuit board has an array of light emitting diodes. The circuit board has, at each end a connector. Each connector is adapted to connect electrically to its respective shelf support bracket, so that current travels from the 12 V DC power supply through the somewhat vertical standards through the shelf support brackets, through the circuit board, to power each of the LEDs, to illuminate local parts of the retail display shelf system. Various display elements reflect or transmit the light.

Abstract: A system for securing a horizontal display component on different brands of slotted vertical rails, where the different brands of slotted vertical rails have different distances between the vertical rails, and different distances between slots. The system includes a pair of brackets, which slidably adjust their horizontal positions on the horizontal display component. Each of the brackets include a bracket front, secured to a bracket back, at a spacing which slidably encloses a horizontal member of the horizontal display component. A first hook is affixed to the bracket. A vertically slidable lower is slidable on the bracket. The vertically slidable lower has a second hook. The second hook has a slidably variable distance from said first hook, so that the first and second hooks may engage different pairs of said slots at their different distances.
