Patent number: 7896171Abstract: A gravity feed shelving system is provided in which specially configured tiers contain necked-down channels for the receiving, storing and dispensing of series of flexible packages such as flex bags. Each channel is configured with relatively wide receiving and dispensing portions at the rear and front of the tier, respectively, and a narrowed intermediate portion that partially compresses the flex bags and restrains them against their removal from the channel until the flex bag passes from the intermediate portion into the dispensing portion. The tier has an operatively sloped orientation so that, once placed within the receiving portion of the channel, each flex bag is urged along the channel and into the intermediate portion by the force of its own weight.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2007Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: Universal Display & Fixtures CompanyInventor: Joseph M.

Patent number: 7837044Abstract: The apparatus includes first and second side walls, and a bottom wall having a first, a second, a third and a fourth side edge. A lower edge of the first side wall is secured to the first side edge, and a lower edge of the second side wall is secured to the third side edge. A door is rotatably coupled to a front edge of the first side wall and latchable proximate to a front edge of the second side wall. When latched, a bottom edge of the door is located at a pre-determined distance from the second side edge of the bottom wall. The first and second side walls, the bottom wall and the door form a substantially rectangular enclosure when first and second cross-members, fixedly attached to respective top and bottom back edges of the first and second side walls, are affixed to a vertical structure.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2007Date of Patent: November 23, 2010Inventor: Larry J.
