  • Patent number: 10028595
    Abstract: A display unit for products has a mounting frame (10) with mounting profiles (12, 11; 14) disposed parallel and spaced apart from one another. Frame-shaped or box-shaped inserts (30) are fastened releasably to the mounting profiles. The inserts (30) have side walls (31) that form a rectangular frame, and the inserts are fastened releasably by their rear faces on the mounting profiles. Due to the fastening an electrical voltage is supplied simultaneously to the inserts. The inserts can be modules that are fastened individually to the mounting frame and each can be designed differently. The respective inserts are fastened releasably by their rear faces on the mounting profiles. Thus the display unit can be configured variably in a simple manner both in the case of conversions and also in the case of new constructions in sales premises.

  • Patent number: 7516854
    Abstract: A compartmented, stackable and nestable system bin includes a bottom having a rear wall, opposed end walls and a front wall integrally connected thereto. A plurality of spaced divider walls separate the bin into a plurality of compartments. A plurality of notches are formed in a top of each of the divider walls and the end walls and a plurality of grooves are formed in the underside or bottom of each of the compartments with sets of notches on the top of the bin being in vertical alignment with sets of grooves on the bottom of the compartments. The notches of a system bin receive a pair of dowels which support an upper system bin of identical construction when the upper system bin is in stacked relation thereon and the grooves of a system bin receive a pair of dowels positioned in notches on a lower system bin of identical construction when the system bin is in stacked relation on the lower system bin.

  • Patent number: 7086538
    Abstract: Multi-section retaining/sorting/browsing apparatus including a base defining at least one cavity and including a first plurality of parallel slots opening thereto and dividers arranged in connection with the base to define an object-retaining section between adjacent dividers. Each divider has an anchor portion arranged in the cavity and an object support portion coupled to the anchor portion and extending through a respective slot to provide a support for retaining objects. To retain the dividers in connection with the base, the anchor portion of each divider has a width larger than a width of the respective slot. The anchor portion is rotatable in the cavity to enable the divider to be flipped forward and backward in a longitudinal direction. When file folders or other objects are retained in the object-retaining sections, it becomes possible to sort papers, documents or files in the sections and to browse through the contents of a file folder without removing them from the apparatus.
