  • Publication number: 20170202370
    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.

  • Publication number: 20140218896
    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.

  • Patent number: 8646935
    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.

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.

  • Patent number: 7654497
    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.

  • Publication number: 20070006783
    Abstract: A pallet display comprising a four way pallet on which the merchandise is supported in two or more layers. Two or more pallet displays can be stacked for storage and transport. The permanent base may comprise a metal frame which can be covered by a base wrap containing graphics relating to the merchandise on display. The base wrap can be folded and is stored and transported with the pallet display. Additionally, the base can include cut-outs for forklift arms that allows the pallet display to be moved after the base wrap can include cutouts for forklift arms that allows the pallet display to be moved after the base wrap is applied.
