  • Publication number: 20120325763
    Abstract: A latching assembly for a graphic shelf display and a shelving unit incorporating the same. The display includes a support plate, a front panel, and a hinge securing them together so that the panel can pivot between an upright position and a flipped-down position. The latching assembly includes a spring clip on the panel and a latch member on the support plate. The spring clip is fixed at a first end to a spring clip housing on the panel and the second end thereof is free to pivot in a first direction to engage the latch member and in a second direction to disengage therefrom. A detent extending outwardly from the spring clip is received in aligned slots in the housing and latch member when the latching assembly is engaged. A graphics card is retained in a channel on the outer surface of the panel.

  • Publication number: 20120217212
    Abstract: A display assembly and shelving unit. The display assembly includes a base with one or more channels that extend between the front and back of the base. The back is higher than the front so that the base is retained at an angle to the horizontal within the shelving unit. A conveyor mechanism operable under force of gravity is provided across the channels. The conveyor mechanism includes roller assemblies that have rods with a plurality of small rollers thereon. The rollers are able to rotate about the stationary rod individually and independently. When a product for sale is removed from a front end of a first channel, then the products remaining in that first channel slide downwardly on the rollers until they engage a stop. Products in adjacent channels will remain stationary as the rollers in those additional channels will not rotate when product is removed from the first channel.
