  • Patent number: 10561241
    Abstract: An adjustable drip tray assembly for a rack of a gravity-fed display shelf. The adjustable drip tray assembly includes a pair of clip assemblies attached to the rack, each clip assembly having a body with a base, a front end, and a rear end. A projecting bracket is coupled to the front end, an adjustable bracket is disposed between the front and rear ends of the body, and a spacing bracket is disposed near the rear end. The adjustable bracket includes a longitudinal slot and a spring nut disposed within the longitudinal slot and into a receiving member to secure the adjustable bracket to the body. A drip tray includes ends disposed on the pair of clip assemblies, the pair of clip assemblies supporting and adjustably securing the drip tray to the rack and spacing the drip tray from the rack.

  • Patent number: 8499942
    Abstract: A system and method of reinforcement of an extra-wide display shelf for a gravity-fed display system. The shelf includes a front rail, a rear rail and two side rails disposed between the front rail and the rear rail, a plurality of cross-rails extending from the front rail to the rear rail parallel to and between the side rails, and a plurality of horizontal rails disposed under the plurality of cross-rails. The reinforcement system includes a plurality of support rails disposed under and perpendicular to the plurality of horizontal rails, and a plurality of reinforcement rails disposed perpendicular to and under the plurality of support rails. The reinforcement system puts the surface of the shelf in tension or otherwise bends a center region of the surface of the shelf upward when unloaded (or when free of product) to offset downward deflection due to weight of product to be displayed.

  • Publication number: 20130075352
    Abstract: A divider wall for use with a gravity-fed shelf assembly includes an elongate wall portion and a first front leg extending from a first end of the wall portion. The first front leg has a body portion and an engagement protrusion extending from the body portion. The divider wall further includes a rear leg extending from a second end of the wall portion. The first front leg and the rear leg are each adapted to be received into a front slot and a rear slot, respectively, of the shelf assembly. Gravity acts on the divider wall and displaces it within the front and rear slots toward a front end of the shelf assembly such that an undersurface of the shelf assembly adjacent the front slot is in contact with or immediately adjacent to the engagement protrusion to prevent the removal of the first front leg from the front slot.

  • Publication number: 20080016740
    Abstract: An integrally extruded price tag molding and front-end stop plate for use on a flat shelf or inclined gravity-feed shelf, wherein the height of the stop plate may be designed to safely keep contents of each dispensing track from falling onto the floor. The angle of the price tag molding may be designed to facilitate its viewing by the consumer. The mounting rail clamp portion of the unit may be designed to facilitate the installation of the unit onto the front rail of any shelf in the display. The upper and lower price tag channels may be designed in order to accept a variety of labelling media or advertising indicia.

  • Patent number: 7200903
    Abstract: An apparatus and method that effects selectable width of a roller track conveyance system having multiple roller tracks with asymmetric wall heights. The system includes a clip that connects lower or mating walls of two single roller tracks together. The connected roller tracks each have their own set of rollers, which form respective dispensing surfaces. A removable divider bar, which is capable of being selectively placed into the clips between the connected roller tracks, may be placed to divide the dispensing surfaces into separate surfaces or may be selectively removed to form a larger, single dispensing surface.

  • Publication number: 20060113262
    Abstract: A shelf divider member for use with gravity feed shelving systems, having outwardly-extending connector clips at each end, the shelf divider formed of generally elongated L-shaped divider member having a lowered connection point to the associated gravity feed shelf unit at the front, and an elevate+d connection point at the rear. Generally V-shaped divider guests extend downwardly from the elongated divider member to facilitate maintaining gravity feed product within the flow lanes. A plastic slide track sheet associated with the gravity feed shelf unit can be readily removed for cleaning, replacement and reinsertion, all without requiring any removal, including of any portion, of the respective shelf divider members.

  • Publication number: 20040178156
    Abstract: Flat, horizontal gondola shelving is converted to inclined gravity-feed shelving using an adapter with an inclined sheet supporting a bearing surface, a leg extending downwardly from a rear of the inclined sheet, which is received in a gap between a flat gondola shelf and a rear wall of the shelving unit supporting the shelf, a ledge extending forwardly of the leg, spaced from the rear of the inclined sheet, to lift the rear of the inclined sheet off the rear of the flat shelf, and a stop member along the front of the inclined sheet. Front end stop extensions may be provided to keep product from falling over the stop member along the front.
