  • Publication number: 20230200562
    Abstract: A bottom supporting shelf allocation and management system for allocating shelf space among rows of products comprises a plurality of adjacent shelf allocating and managing units. Each unit is associated with at least one row of products. Each unit includes a base extending to a shelf depth and supporting the row(s) of products, an integral perpendicular side divider attached to the side edge of the base, an open side of the base opposite the base side to which the side divider is attached, a puller that travels in a channel on the base and along the length of the base, a backstop attached to the rear of the puller extending laterally across the surface of the base which is configured to make selectively contact a rearmost product resting on the base and push the row of products on the base forward in sympathy to the puller forward movement.

  • Patent number: 11134797
    Abstract: A manual, bottom supporting, shelf allocation and management system allocates shelf space among rows of products and moves products toward the shelf front and includes a plurality of adjacent shelf allocating and managing units. Each unit includes a base adapted to rest on a shelf and to support the at least one row of products, a perpendicular side divider fixedly attached to a side edge of the base, a puller positioned immediately adjacent to the divider and immediately adjacent to a top of the base, and a back-stop attached to the rear of the puller and protruding laterally across the base which is configured, when the puller is drawn forward, to make contact with a rearmost product resting on the base and to push the rearmost product and any other products on the base forward with the forward movement of the puller.

  • Patent number: 9907413
    Abstract: A manual, bottom supporting, shelf allocation and management system allocates shelf space among rows of products and moves products toward the shelf front and includes a plurality of adjacent shelf allocating and managing units. Each unit includes a base and at least one removably attached side divider wherein at least one row of products may be positioned on the base immediately adjacent the side divider. Each unit is a modular tray which may be, while filled with at least a single row of products, lifted clear of the shelf and moved to another shelf location. The base and side divider are coupled to allow the side divider to move forward and backward relative to the base. A backstop is attached to the rear of the side divider so that the products may be moved towards the shelf front when the side divider is drawn forward relative to the stationary base.

  • Patent number: 9198527
    Abstract: A manual bottom supporting shelf allocation and management system for allocating shelf space among rows of products and for moving the rows of products toward the shelf front includes a plurality of adjacent shelf allocating and managing units. Each unit includes a base and side divider wherein at least one row of products is positioned on the base adjacent the laterally supporting divider. Each unit is a modular tray which may be, while filled with a row of products, lifted clear of the shelf and moved to another shelf location. A backstop is behind the products so that the products may be manually moved towards the front of the shelf when the backstop is drawn forward while the base remains stationary.

  • Patent number: 8350700
    Abstract: A system monitors parameters (e.g., speed, position, threshold boundaries) of mobile items attached to beacons and produces signals indicating these parameters. The system also monitors non-mobile parameters (e.g., battery life, door locks, windows) in the items. Different technologies (e.g., wireless) are provided for communicating between the beacons and a beacon controller interface. Different technologies are provided for locating and indicating item positions. The beacons and the interface provide for new beacons to be added to the system with different characteristics than the existing beacons for monitoring the operation of new beacons without affecting the operation of existing beacons. The system includes resellers, retailers, users and subscribers in a flexible relationship to enhance the ease in the system operation. Beacons can perform more than one function (e.g. tracking, threshold monitoring) simultaneously. Scenarios for the beacons can be created and monitored.

  • Publication number: 20120204458
    Abstract: A manual open bottom shelf allocation and management system for allocating shelf space among rows of products and for moving the rows of products toward the shelf front includes a plurality of adjacent shelf allocating and managing units. Each unit includes a pair of side dividers extending away from a backstop defining an open bottom, wherein at least one row of products may be positioned on the shelf between and laterally supported by the side dividers. Each unit is manually movable to advance products toward the front of the shelf. The side dividers of two adjacent units may be in vertical alignment with one another. A shelf ready packaging unit incorporates a row of products and a shelf allocation and management system and packaging material coupling the shelf allocating and managing unit and the at least one row of products together at least for shipping and stocking.
