  • Patent number: 9963161
    Abstract: A cart including a frame assembly and a number of tote support assemblies is provided. The frame assembly includes a longitudinal axis, a first lateral side and a second lateral side. Each tote support assembly includes a tote support member defining a plane. Each tote support member is movably coupled to the frame assembly wherein each tote support member moves between a number of positions including a level, first position, wherein the plane of the support member is generally horizontal, and a tilted, second position, wherein the plane of the support member is tilted toward one of the frame assembly first lateral side or the frame assembly second lateral side.

  • Publication number: 20170190345
    Abstract: A tote assembly including a tote body and a divider assembly is provided. The tote body includes a generally planar bottom member and a number of sidewall members which define a generally enclosed space. Each tote body sidewall member upwardly depends from the tote body bottom member. Each the tote body sidewall member tapered outwardly. The divider assembly includes a number of generally planar first members and a number of generally planar second members. Each the first member having a limited length. Each second member having a limited length. Each second member is removably coupled to one the first member. Further, the plane of each first member and each second member is disposed generally vertically. The divider assembly is removably disposed within the tote body enclosed space. Thus, the tote body enclosed space is divided into a number of compartments.

  • Patent number: 8317038
    Abstract: A modular apparatus displays and dispenses merchandise at first and second dispensing locations placed at plural dispensing tiers at a point-of-purchase adjacent a display shelf. A first pusher-track assembly extends along a first path of travel of first serially arranged packages, and dividers are spaced apart to straddle the first path of travel and the first serially arranged packages. A second pusher-track assembly is secured to each of the dividers, elevated altitudinally above the first pusher-track assembly, and extends along a second path of travel of second serially arranged packages. A securing arrangement integrates the second pusher-track assembly with the dividers within the apparatus, and a stabilizing arrangement stabilizes the dividers against inadvertent movements relative to the display shelf to complete a stable apparatus. Multiple dividers and counterpart pusher-track assemblies enable the modular apparatus to provide any selected number of display and dispensing bays.

  • Publication number: 20110147323
    Abstract: A system of modular components enables the selection and assembly of components of the system to accommodate a compact display, effective dispensing by gravity-feed, and convenient restocking of merchandise articles of different dimensions at a compact matrix of dispensing locations placed at a point-of-purchase. Selected chutes are assembled with counterpart selected left and right sidewalls for carrying merchandise articles of selected dimensions, with the lateral spacing between the sidewalls being determined by the lateral width of the selected chutes.

  • Publication number: 20100096401
    Abstract: A modular article storage and dispensing assembly which includes a side-by-side series of article dispensers for storing and advancing articles for removal. A series of support shelves are positioned end-to-end and supported from upright supports and each shelf section includes at least two spaced and horizontally disposed elongated parallel shelf bars supported on opposite ends by end brackets. The end brackets are removably securable to the upright supports. Support saddles depend downwardly from each of the dispensers and are positioned respectively to register over and engage the support bars to thereby support the dispensers. The support shelf end brackets are relieved and contoured to conform to the contours of the shelf bars whereby the support saddles may be supported on the support bars at the bracket locations, as well as between end brackets, thereby permitting a continuous side-by-side uninterrupted supported series of the article dispensers.

  • Publication number: 20090308885
    Abstract: A modular gravity feed storage and dispensing assembly including a dispenser having a plurality of spaced vertically disposed panels with a ramp assembly disposed between adjacent vertically disposed panels whereby a chute is provided between each of the adjacent panels for defining a travel path to guide articles traveling therealong between adjacent panels. The ramp assembly is slightly inclined so as to allow cylindrical articles to be rollingly advanced by means of gravity from an upper portion between the panels in the chute to a lower portion, and a removal area is disposed proximate the lower portion of the chute for allowing selective removal of one or more of the articles from the dispenser.

  • Patent number: 6527122
    Abstract: Stackable display bins for supporting quantities of cylindrical articles such as tubes of caulk and the like have U-shaped interiors that are accessible through U-shaped front openings. The bins have generally rectangular front, rear and side walls that connect with a symmetrically curved bottom wall to define their U-shaped interiors. The front, rear and side walls extend substantially vertically so they can directly underlie and overlie the front, rear and side walls of other identically configured bins in a vertically stacked array of bins. Removable extenders connect with the bins near front ends of the right and left side walls for pivotally mounting doors at locations spaced forwardly from the U-shaped openings for supporting signs that identify the contents of the bins. Methods of utilizing single bins and pairs of bins with short and long doors and removable interior partitions to display quantities of relatively large and relatively smaller sized tubes of caulk also are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 4854533
    Abstract: The present invention is a mounting assembly for mounting a display sign on either a vertical support or a horizontal support as part of a product display. The mounting assembly includes a sign holder, a brace for supporting the sign holder, and a universal attachment bracket for attachng the brace to either the vertical or the horizontal support. The bracket allows the brace to be attached at varying angles to the horizontal support (such as a shelf), and also allows the brace to be attached at different horizontal distances from the vertical support (such as a pegboard). The sign holder may be attached at varying angles relative to the brace.
