    Abstract: A storefront shelf can have a shelf front, a shelf top, a shelf bottom, a right sidewall, and a left sidewall. The shelf front includes a transparent barrier, one or more product exit apertures, one or more product movement apertures, and a set of restocking components. The transparent barrier permits shoppers to view shelf contained products and, when closed, inhibits extraction of any of a set of shelf contained products except through at least one product exit aperture. Each product exit aperture is an opening in the shelf front sufficiently large to permit one of the shelf contained products to pass. The product movement apertures are each opening in the shelf front sufficiently large to permit a hand of the shopper to pass and to thereafter manipulate positions of the shelf contained product(s). The set of restocking components are connected to open and close the transparent barrier. When the transparent barrier is open the shelf contained products can be restocked via the opening.

  • Patent number: 9615674
    Abstract: A dispenser is provided for storing and individually dispensing cylindrical containers in a vertical orientation. The dispenser includes an upper chamber having a ramp sloping downward toward a back of the dispenser, which receives the containers loaded in a vertical orientation at a front of the dispenser. The containers move down the upper chamber ramp by gravity to an opening at a back end of the dispenser, through which the containers pass to a lower chamber. The lower chamber has a ramp sloping downward toward the front of the dispenser. The containers move down the lower chamber ramp by gravity to a dispensing position at the front of the dispenser. A latch is positioned at a back portion of the upper chamber to restrict passage of the containers so that they pass through the opening one at a time as containers are removed from the dispensing position.

  • Publication number: 20110309228
    Abstract: A product-lifting display and merchandising system is provided which includes a bottom platform formed of solid molded plastic and having one or more feet extending from an underside surface thereof A top deck has a planar horizontal upper surface for supporting a quantity of stacked product thereon. One or more movable support members are connected between the bottom platform and the top deck for dynamically adjusting a vertical position of the top deck relative to the bottom platform. There is a compression member positioned between the bottom platform and the top deck. The compression member supplies a lifting force to the top deck in opposition to a weight of the stacked product. As the weight of the stacked product is reduced due to gradual removal by consumers, the top deck rises to maintain a top layer of the stacked product at a determined height for ease of accessibility by the consumers.
