Multi-interface apparatus
A multi-interface apparatus includes a crossbar to which a plurality of accessories using different mechanical interfaces may be attached and detached. Accessories such as wire hooks, shelves, bins, and so forth may be used. The different mechanical interfaces may include slatwall, pegboard, and saddle mount. Multiple accessories with different types of mechanical interfaces may be supported simultaneously by the crossbar. The crossbar may be instrumented. For example, load cells may be used to determine the weight on the crossbar.
MULTIDIRECTIONAL WALL MOUNTED STORAGE PANEL
A storage panel for mounting items using a plurality of brackets includes a planar mounting surface having a longitudinal axis and a latitudinal axis. The storage panel includes a means for securing the storage panel to a wall or another substantially vertical surface. An array of spaced apart mounting slots extends through the mounting surface. The array of mounting slots includes longitudinal mounting slots and latitudinal mounting slots. The longitudinal mounting slots are arranged to be parallel to the longitudinal axis of the mounting surface. The latitudinal mounting slots are arranged to be parallel to the latitudinal axis of the mounting surface.
Pegboard Hanger Assembly
A pegboard hanger assembly is provided for mounting on a pegboard surface. The pegboard includes a first hole formed therethrough. The pegboard hanger assembly includes: a hanger including a hanger base and a pin projecting from a rear surface thereof, the pin including flanged end and a grommet locatable on the at least one hole formed through the pegboard surface, the grommet including a passage formed therethrough and an inwardly projecting shoulder formed within the passage of the grommet. The pin projecting from the hanger is insertable through the passage of the grommet and the flanged end of the pin is insertable through the shoulder of the passage of the grommet when the grommet is located on the at least one hole formed through the pegboard surface to secure the hanger on the pegboard surface.
PAPER-BASED PEG HOOK
An environmentally friendly peg hook made from a paper based material that can be used on a display. The paper material can be recycled or is degradable in a land fill. The peg hook includes an anchor structure for securing the peg hook to a wall of a display through a slot in the wall. The peg hook can include a single hook structure or multiple hook structures in a single row or multiple rows.
Merchandise display stand
A merchandise display stand includes a pair of brackets for carrying a panel having advertising indicia on a first end thereof. A plurality of spaced-apart upright supports extend vertically, and a channel extends across a horizontal support that spans the spaced-apart upright supports. The channel defines an upper and lower flange. The upper and lower flange define a space therebetween for selectively receiving a power cord. Each bracket defines a pair of shoulders on a second end thereof. Each of the shoulders is configured for engaging with a respective flange to receivably engage each of the brackets with the channel.
Anti-sweep merchandise display hook
A retail display hook for merchandise packaged with a hang tab aperture includes mounting bracket with a hang bar and an access bar cantilevered therefrom. The hang bar extends outwardly along a straight portion, through an upwardly peaked portion, and followed by an upwardly angled portion. An access flap pivotally engages a distal end of the access bar, and is located above and adjacent to the distal end of the hang bar. The access flap includes an arrester extension and a blocker extension. Rotation of the access flap between a display position and an access position controls removal of merchandise to one unit at a time, requiring cyclical operation to remove more than one unit.
Wall hanging system
A tool hanging system. The tool hanging system includes a power tool having a mount receiving portion. A mounting attachment is engaged with the mount receiving portion. The mounting attachment includes a first portion adjacent to the power tool and an overhang portion spaced apart from and opposite the first portion. A groove is located between the first portion and the overhang portion. The mounting attachment also includes a peg board projection, the peg board projection projecting away from the power tool and past the overhang portion. The peg board projection engages with a pegboard.
Signage Systems And Merchandising Display Assemblies
A merchandising display system includes a base, a pair of vertically extending uprights, and a wire frame. The wire frame is disposed in a vertically extending plane and upwardly extends from the base.
Anti-Theft Merchandise Hook
An anti-theft merchandise hook that includes a top wire connected to a housing at a first end of the top wire, and to a mounting portion, used to mount the anti-theft merchandise hook to a stationary surface, at a second end of the top wire opposite the first end. A bottom wire is attached to the mounting portion and extends from the mounting portion towards the housing. The bottom wire is configured to hold retail merchandise. A hanger is at least partially disposed within the housing. The hanger is configured to move linearly between a closed position in which the hanger abuts the bottom wire, and an open position in which the hanger is spaced some distance from the bottom wire. A motor is configured to drive a rotary shaft in order to move the hanger between the closed position and the open position.
Actuator with locking mechanism
A product-dispensing device comprises a rod, a product-dispensing coil, an actuator, a locking gear, and a button. The rod is configured to support a product. The product-dispensing coil is disposed about the rod. The actuator is operably coupled to the product-dispensing coil for rotation about a first axis. The locking gear is rotatable between a first position and a second position and includes a locking arm configured to inhibit rotation of the actuator in the second position. The button is operably coupled to the locking gear and configured to rotate the locking gear between the first position and the second position.
