  • Patent number: 8616387
    Abstract: A device and method for providing selective concealment and access to items stored on an overhead part of a retail shelving system. The device includes one or more mounting posts attachable to the retail shelving system and one or more panel support units. The mounting posts further include one or more substantially vertical channels. The panel support unit is engaged with the mounting posts and extends above the retail shelving system. The panel support unit is selectively moveable between an open configuration and a closed configuration such that when in the open configuration the panel support unit is displaced to provide access to the items stored on the overhead part of the retail shelving system, and when in the closed configuration the panel support unit conceals the items stored on the overhead part of the retail shelving system.

  • Patent number: 8333285
    Abstract: A track for a display case. The track can be mounted to a front edge of a shelf to allow prominent display of food or beverage containers, as well as promoting more complete use of the space within the display case. While applicable to all beverage display cases, the track of the present invention is particularly beneficial in retail or related commercial display cases, as it places products in a prominent visual location without obscuring a user's ability to identify or retrieve a container disposed on a shelf behind the track. In one form, it allows for substantially horizontal alignment of containers, to minimize the likelihood of obscuring products situated behind the track.

  • Publication number: 20060076303
    Abstract: A product display comprises a frame removably mountable to a shelf and a support arm mounted to the frame via a pivot mechanism. The support arm is configured for removably mounting a product on the support arm. The pivot mechanism is configured to enable pivotal movement of the support arm between a first position in which the support arm is generally parallel to a front edge of the shelf and a second position in which the support arm extends generally outward at an angle relative to the front edge of the shelf. The pivot mechanism biases the support arm to return from the second position to the first position.
