Disclosed are a method and apparatus devices for an acrylic display case wherein the two panels (walls or ceiling or even floor) are adjoined using substantially wedge-shaped (trapezoidal) fittings capable of easily snapping into slot cut-outs/notches in the acrylic panel walls (or ceiling or floor) before final screw-tightening. The wedge-shaped fittings are easily positioned (inserted by sliding-insertion, then push-snapped) into their receiving slots in their respective panel slots (before being screw-tightened from a screw coming from the perpendicular panel). The wedge-shaped fitting promotes one direction insertion and then snaps into place in its panel slot due to the fitting's substantially three layer (3-structure) style shape. Each fitting has an inner (anchors inside the box) face section with a surface area slightly larger than its panel notch. This inner section is ultimately positioned inside the case, acting as an inner anchoring lip against the acrylic panel's inside wall (wall herein interchangeable with panel, whether ceiling or side or floor). The fitting further comprises a tapered middle section that allows for easy sliding-insertion into the panel notch-slot, and then allows gentle pressing/pushing into place (until friction gives to the snap positioning). This seamless positioning is made possible due to the fitting's middle-section tapering. After insertion (smaller end of the wedge fitting is initially inserted into the wider end of the dovetail shaped slot), as the fitting is then pressed into its slot, the tapered middle structure is what allows the fitting to gently slide against the panel notch's edge until the fitting snaps into place when this friction is overcome. The fitting further comprises an outer face section which is substantially larger than its panel-slot. This fitting outer face section has the largest surface area of the fitting's three sections. Both the innermost and outermost layers/structures of the fitting function as lip-rim anchors to keep the fitting firmly in its panel-slot, while the trapezoidal wedge shape of the fitting allows efficient insertion and ultimately secure snap-placement.

The remainder of the system comprises modular panels with optional cut-out slots, tabs, indentations and screw holes to build a wide variety of display cases.

A display capable of being constructed from panels, shelving, racks, fixtures, endcaps, stands, or other implements. The display may include planar panels capable of being folded and assembled into a serving stadium having a tiered structure for displaying food and other items.

A foldable display case includes: a case main body; first connection portions; second connection portions; first side-wall portions, each configured to be turnable between a first position where the first side-wall portion stands up from the case main body and a second position where the first side-wall portion falls down on the case main body, and each including first engagement portions; second side-wall portions, each configured to be turnable between a third position where the second side-wall portion stands up from the case main body and a fourth position where the second side-wall portion falls down on the case main body, and each including second engagement portions; and joint portions each including third engagement portions engageable with and disengageable from the first engagement portions of the turning first side-wall portion, and fourth engagement portions engageable with and disengageable from the second engagement portions of the turning second side-wall portion.

Disclosed are embodiments of display modules, assemblies of display modules, and systems of display modules. Display modules have a plurality of light emitting elements arranged in a predetermined pattern and providing a highly uniform visual effect. Alignment and complementary alignment features enable the alignment of adjacent display modules and the creation of large displays from a plurality of aligned display modules. Features to grip and retain a support frame are provided. Modules and systems have features that permit installation and removal from the front side of the display. A system of modular support frames works cooperatively with the display modules, adapting to different mounting environments, and thereby providing large modular displays with desirable properties.

A sensor for a merchandise display security system for displaying and protecting an article of merchandise is provided. The security system includes a merchandise bracket configured to be secured to the article of merchandise and a sensor configured to releasably engage the merchandise bracket and to detect unauthorized removal of the merchandise bracket or the sensor from the article of merchandise. The sensor is configured to be releasably engaged with the merchandise bracket such that the sensor is removable from the merchandise bracket while the merchandise bracket remains secured to the article of merchandise.

The novel invention provides methods and systems for automated production of merchandising displays. The displays can be assembled in whole, shipped in whole and filled with customer-selected products in customer-selected amounts, filled with criteria-selected products in criteria-selected amounts or both.

The present invention relates to a system for moving panels of a display cabinet or counter for showcasing and selling food and non-food products. In particular, the invention relates to a system which allows the horizontal movement of adjacent panels without interference, irrespective of the shape of the panels.

A display case can include panels, and frame members (e.g., corner extrusions) that secure the panels. In some examples, the frame members can magnetically secure the panels together in an assembled configuration of the display case. In some examples, the frame members can cooperate to provide improved mounting and demounting processes.

The novel invention provides methods and systems for automated production of merchandising displays. The displays can be assembled in whole, shipped in whole and filled with customer-selected products in customer-selected amounts, filled with criteria-selected products in criteria-selected amounts or both.

A retail display system includes a first base panel, a pair of side panels, a second base panel, and one or more shelf panels. Each base panel incorporates raised alignment guides and an alignment flange. The alignment guides engage body surfaces of adjoining panels, and the alignment flanges engage end surfaces of adjoining panels to ensure perpendicular orientation during assembly. Pre-drilled apertures extend through the panels and align to receive threaded fasteners, enabling fast and accurate installation. The shelf panels install between the side panels in user-selected positions to provide customizable vertical spacing for displayed goods. In some embodiments, a back panel attaches to the side panels and base panels to enclose the rear, and doors attach by hinges to enclose the front. In other embodiments, the system omits doors and provides an open configuration. All panels disassemble into a flat configuration and pack into a shipping container smaller than the assembled system.
