Abstract: This invention relates to a product display system for packaged products, also known as a merchandiser, for storing and displaying products, and more particularly, to a merchandiser with extendible product drawers that can be pulled out and tilted downwards without the back product pusher to facilitate restocking of products in the merchandiser. The merchandiser includes a pull-out drawer or product holder secured to the shelf and capable of downward rotation in a restocking position by a restrictor means in the form of a U-shaped ring located either on the product pusher or the product holder. The display system further includes a nesting tab for securing the display in the display position on the shelf, and a product pusher in biasing relation with the front edge of the shelf for improved access in the restocking position.

Abstract: A set of panels having chutes therebetween. The chutes being defined by curvilinear rails on such panels. The curvilinear rails having stops thereon for stopping the products for viewing.

Abstract: A container for foodstuffs including a carton, tray and pad, each formed from a cut and creased blank of foldable sheet material. The carton is substantially a tubular element having end panels for enclosing the carton. A plurality of corner locks are provided to maintain the end panels oriented in a closed position. Handles formed in the carton permit stacking of the containers and easy transportation.

The carton is a substantially tubular element having end panels for enclosing the carton. A plurality of corner locks are provided to maintain the end panels oriented in a closed position. A lip is connected to one side panel and has a free edge disposed adjacent a top panel to provide support therefor. Handles formed in the carton permit stacking of the containers and easy transportation.

Abstract: A refrigerated merchandiser including a display case and a cooling module. The display case includes a plurality of walls defining a cavity and a receptacle. A plurality of vertically spaced shelves are disposed in the cavity extending between the side walls. A display zone is defined above the top surface of each shelf for the display of merchandise. A back panel disposed in the cavity adjacent to base back wall defines a duct in a fluid communication with a plurality of elongated openings formed in the back panel. A turbulence generating element is disposed in each display zone adjacent to the elongated opening.

Abstract: A product identifier system for identifying each of a plurality of groups of products arrayed on shelves, wherein the contents of each of the product groups differ but the groups have like product containers and similar labels. The product identifier system includes a product dividing apparatus for dividing the plurality of products that includes a base having a base clip contactingly engaging the shelf ledge, a base arm having at least one tab and a connector having an at least one aperture, wherein the connector is coupled to the base. Moreover, the product dividing apparatus includes a billboard having at least one aperture. The billboard is held in place by the contacting engagement of the base and the connector, wherein the billboard extends upward therefrom to divide said plurality of products, wherein the billboard is further rotationally adjustable relative to the base with respect to the shelf.

Abstract: A temperature compensated ECL gate (20) with each gate circuit resistance formed by a pair of opposite polarity temperature coefficient resistors. A first gate transistor element (Q1) and a second gate transistor element (Q2) coupled at a common emitter coupling (12) provide alternative collector current paths from high potential (V.sub.cc) through a first gate transistor collector path with collector resistance (R11,R12) and a gate transistor collector path with collector resistance (R21,R22). A current source transistor element (Q3) is coupled between the common emitter coupling (12) of the gate transistor elements and low potential (V.sub.EE) through current source resistance (R31,R32). The resistances of the ECL gate each include a positive temperature coefficient silicon first resistor (R11,R21,R31) and a negative temperature coefficient low capacitance polysilicon second resistor coupled (R12,R22,R32) in series.

Abstract: An improved MOS current mirror wherein the mirror transistors are biased to operate in the saturated region near the boundary between the linear and the saturated regions to maximize the voltage gain and the power supply rejection ratio while maintaining a high output impedance.

Abstract: A one-piece dispenser cartridge of the type having an extrusion orifice at one end and open at the other end to receive a movable bottom plug, which is adapted to be displaced inwardly toward said orifice by the plunger of a suitable holder and thus to extrude the contents of the cartridge in selected quantities, wherein the movable bottom plug is contoured to expel virtually all of the contents and wherein the orifice is sealed with a disc which is pre-scored or pre-cut to form a multi-segmented nozzle when extrusion pressure is exerted thereagainst.
