In some embodiments, systems, apparatuses, and methods are described herein including a shelf assembly that utilizes the accumulated weight of products stocked thereon to compress a compression member disposed within the assembly. An electronic imaging device can be mounted proximate to the assembly and can be oriented to capture an image of the compression member to determine whether a particular shelf needs to be restocked and avoid having to manipulate or remove products from a shelf to determine a current stock level.

A hinged drawer type shelving apparatus includes a shelf with a first portion and a second portion hinged to the first portion. The first portion is connected between opposing arms that have a guide connected to a rearward portion of the arm. A frame has opposing side members between which the shelf is disposed. Each side member has a channel for directing or guiding movement of the corresponding guide. The shelf moves between a first stored position, where the first and second shelf portions are coplanar with one another, and a second extended position to facilitate restocking of product. In the extended position, the first shelf portion is tilted and non-coplanar with the second shelf portion.

Foldable shelving, including at least one primary shelf removably disposed on at least a portion of an external surface to receive at least one first item thereon, a plurality of folding brackets movably connected to at least a portion of the at least one primary shelf to move from retracted against the external surface in a first position to at least partially extended away from the external surface along a length of the at least one primary shelf in a second position, and move from extended away from the external surface along the length of the at least one primary shelf in the second position to retracted against the external surface in the first position, and at least one secondary shelf removably disposed on at least a portion of the external surface to receive at least one second item thereon.

A sheet for the assembly of a display shelving unit and the display shelving unit thus obtained, which, thanks to its structural simplicity can be assembled and disassembled for recycling in a practical, fast and easy way, since it is made of recycled materials which require fewer manufacturing processes, and which, because of its small volume, allows for the transportation of a larger number of units in the same shipment, thus significantly reducing the related costs.

Shelve brackets and shelf arrangements are provided. First and second brackets are provided. Each bracket has a support section, a mounting section and a transition section. The mounting section is laterally offset from the support section. The support section includes a vertical, top and bottom flange portions. The top and bottom flange portions are vertically spaced and extend from a first side of vertical flange portion in a direction the support section is offset from the mounting section. The transition section of the first bracket offsets the support section of the first bracket towards the second bracket and the transition section of the second bracket offsetting the support section of the second bracket towards the first bracket.

A universal merchandising system that includes a base, wherein the base has a front surface and a top surface. The universal merchandising system includes a bristle floor disposed on the top surface of the base. The bristle floor includes a plurality of bristles. The universal merchandising system includes a back wall connected to a back portion of the base. The universal merchandising system further includes binning disposed on a top portion of the back wall.

A method may include obtaining a weight of merchandise supported by a shelf and obtaining identifier data of the merchandise supported by the shelf. The identifier data may be wirelessly received from tags associated with the merchandise. The method may also include determining information for presentation to a consumer regarding the merchandise based on the weight of the merchandise and the identifier data of the merchandise. The method may also include providing the information for presentation to the consumer of the merchandise when the consumer is proximate the merchandise that is supported by the shelf.

The present disclosure relates to shelving units, more particularly shelving units having a lighting component that illuminates a product and/or provides ambient light. According to some aspects of the present disclosure, the shelf could be made from a transparent material and could include a lighting strip disposed in a groove in a front edge of the shelf. A power connector is provided for receiving power from a power supply. A reflective laminate could be disposed on top, front, rear, and lateral sides of the shelf. A second laminate could be disposed over the reflective laminate. A bottom surface of the shelf could be altered to evenly scatter light from the lighting strip. According to further aspects of the present disclosure, a floating shelf having a top layer, a bottom layer, and spacers, and a mounting bracket having a wall harness, hinges, and support rods are provided.

A cover for gondola style shelves is inexpensively constructed and quickly and easily installed by providing a decoratively treated blank that lies flat, but has outer sections that can be bent down and tabs that can be bent inwardly to attach the cover to the shelf.

The present invention provides shelf adjustment systems and methods that may be used in merchandiser display cases and other applications to accommodate changes in product offering, giving the user increased flexibility in the use of merchandiser display cases. The shelf adjustment systems of embodiments of the present invention provide methods and apparatus for coordinating shelf adjustment, such that adjusting the display angle of one shelf of the invention causes the display angle of another shelf or shelves to also be adjusted by the same amount as the adjusted shelf.
