  • Patent number: 11910938
    Abstract: A mullion assembly for a merchandiser including an elongated mullion body that has a first end and a second end. The mullion body defines an elongated channel extending from the first end toward the second end along a longitudinal axis oriented along a length of the mullion body. The channel is defined by a support surface, opposite sidewalls, and opposite hooks that are coupled to the sidewalls and that extend in a direction across the longitudinal axis. A light assembly is coupled to the mullion body within the elongated channel, and the light assembly is captured by the hooks to retain the light assembly in the channel.

  • Publication number: 20210052088
    Abstract: A shelf assembly including a shelf and a luminaire coupled to a front edge of the shelf. The shelf also includes a rear edge and side edges, as well as a top surface that supports product and a front surface defined at the front edge. The luminaire includes a housing and one or more LEDs that are embedded in the housing and that illuminate above or below the shelf. The front surface of the shelf is non-planar, and the housing is flexible to conform to the non-planar front surface.
