  • Patent number: 7665618
    Abstract: An improved gravity feed product dispenser track apparatus for products sold in containers having a truncated conical shape, such as a bell shape or an inverted bell shape used for certain popular yogurt products. The dispenser track assembly of the present disclosure aligns the products on a track with a front discharge portion and an exit ramp that tilts the lead product forward or rearward so that the inclined or declined front surface of the container is pivoted to a more vertical state to improve its visibility for customers. A plurality of pull through fingers is disposed near front discharge portion. These fingers maintain a lead container on the track while also allowing a customer to remove a container by pulling it through the opening between the fingers.

  • Publication number: 20070012372
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a cover for protecting the terminal end of a fixator pin proximate to the attachment point of the fixator pin to a frame member of a fixator device. The cover comprises at least first and second body portions in overlying relationship that, in combination, form an internal space adapted to receive the terminal end of the fixator pin proximate to the point of attachment with the frame member. The body portions may be designed to engage with each other or with one or more elements of the fixator frame. The present invention is also directed to a method for covering the terminal end of a fixator pin proximate to an attachment point to a fixator frame by enclosing the terminal end of the fixator pin within the cover of the present invention.

  • Patent number: 6962260
    Abstract: An integrally molded display floor for a gravity feed display tray where the floor devoid of integrally molded side walls extending upward therefrom, has front and rear end walls, and a plurality of longitudinal ribs which can receive upward extending partitions which are releasably attachable to the floor and extend longitudinally, thus dividing the display tray into laterally spaced paths. Each display tray has opposite side walls extending downward, and transversely extending beams intersecting the longitudinal ribs. The end walls, side walls, and bottom surfaces of the longitudinal ribs thus establishing a basement where the bottom surfaces of the ribs constitute the ceiling of the basement. This basement is a space suitable for receiving downward extending tabs of the partitions to engage and stabilize such partitions with the display track.

  • Patent number: 6874646
    Abstract: A depth-extendable display unit consists of at least two essentially identical standard depth display tracks for forming a single depth-extended display track from one of the tracks and at least one section of another of the tracks. Each track has a front section, a breakaway back section with a rear connector at the rear thereof, and an interconnected series of breakaway intermediate sections connecting the front and back sections. The intermediate and back sections define at the front thereof forward connectors for engagement with the rear connectors, the forward connectors being exposed for engagement by breaking away of the immediately forward section.

  • Patent number: 6637604
    Abstract: A front loading and front-dispensing drop rotation tray for product display and dispensing include a pair of vertically aligned inclined tracks for supporting product thereon, the tracks generally being inclined in an orientation for fostering product movement relative thereto—namely, a first upwardly and rearwardly inclined loading/dispensing track, and a second upwardly and rearwardly inclined dispensing track beneath the first track. The first track defines a drop aperture adjacent the rear end thereof enabling the passage of product from the first track onto the second track, whereby successive forcible loading of product onto the front of the first track causes the product to pass, under the influence of gravity, to the second track for display and dispensing.

  • Publication number: 20030132178
    Abstract: This invention is an integrally molded display floor for a gravity feed display tray where the floor has no integrally molded side walls extending upward but has a plurality of longitudinal ribs which can receive upward extending partitions which are releasably attachable to the floor and extend longitudinally, thus dividing the display tray into laterally spaced compartments. Each display tray has opposite marginal side walls extending downward and transversely extending support beams intersecting the longitudinal ribs. The downward extending side walls extend below the bottom surfaces of the longitudinal ribs thus establishing a basement where the bottom surfaces of the ribs constitute the ceiling of the basement. This basement is a space suitable for receiving downward extending tabs of the partition to engage and stabilize such partition with the display track.

  • Publication number: 20030050802
    Abstract: A point-of-care device 112 is connected by wire or wirelessly to a local server 116 for a doctor's office. The local server 116 can also connect to a health plan database 104, which includes health plan coverage policies of health plan providers of patients. During a session with a patient, a doctor reviews information about the patient on the point-of-care device 112, and writes prescriptions using the device. The point-of-care device 112 allows the doctor to search for drugs and performs drug interaction, allergy and duplication checking. The prescriptions are printed on a printer 118 in the doctor's office, or automatically sent to pharmacies to be filled.

  • Patent number: 5975318
    Abstract: An assembly supporting a display shelf at a non-transverse angle to a support includes at least one elongate support, at least one transversely-extending display shelf and angling brackets. Each elongate support defines a plane, an upright front surface and a plurality of longitudinally spaced first engaging elements facing forwardly in the support front surface. Each transversely-extending display shelf defines a generally upright back surface and at least one plurality of longitudinally spaced second engaging elements facing rearwardly from the shelf back surface. The plurality of second engaging elements are configured and dimensioned for cooperation and interconnection with the first engaging elements for releasable maintenance of the shelf in a plane transverse to the plane of the support. The angling brackets are interposed between the shelf back surface and the support front surface.
