INVENTORY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES
A system and method for monitoring the amount of alcoholic beverages dispensed from bottles in a business establishment that serves alcoholic beverages. The system and method uses a pair of scales located on opposite ends of at least one shelf upon which are positioned bottles of alcoholic beverages. The scales detect changes in weight on the shelf and provide that data, along with calibration data, to a system database and a processor which analyzes all that data to detect a change of weight of the shelf as well as position on that shelf of where that change of weight occurred. A point of sale system of the business establishment is also in communication with the system database/processor so that change of weight data, position data and sales data can be analyzed to display revenue and cost data on a computer including a software application that configures the computer for displaying spreadsheets of all of this data.
MEDICAL CABINET COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHODS
Described is an RFID-enabled medical item storage, organization, and/or tracking device, such as a cabinet or shelf, that includes a limited-range wireless network communication capability, such as low-energy Bluetooth or Zigbee, to communicate with nearby cabinets, shelves or mobile devices, any of which may serve as a communication aggregator to coordinate the communication of multiple cabinets, shelves and other devices with an inventory management system or other back-end computer system or other device via back haul wireless or wired networks (e.g., the Internet).
PULLOUT SHELF
A pullout shelf assembly for a retail merchandise display including a shelf, an adjustable length support arm and a latch arrangement is provided. The shelf has a product support surface. The first adjustable length support arm has first and second arm members movable relative to one another between a retracted position and a first extended position. The shelf moves with the second arm member. The latch arrangement has a first catch associated the retracted position and a second catch associated with the first extended position. A latch bolt secures the second arm member in the retracted position when engaged with the first catch and secures the second arm member in the first extended position when engaged with the second catch. The handle operably actuates the latch bolt out of engagement with the first and second catches to permit movement of the second arm member relative to the first arm member.
Bakery tray
A tray for displaying products in a bakery is disclosed. The tray for displaying products in a bakery includes: a display plate having a holder formed at an end portion thereof; and a perforated plate placed on an upper side of the display plate, wherein the display plate includes side plates on front, rear, left, and right sides thereof so that the perforated plate is seated on the upper side of the display plate, to form a space for accommodating the perforated plate, and at least one of the side plates on the front and rear sides of the display plate is provided with a holder in which a name card is to be inserted.
Footwear Storage and Display Rack
A footwear storage and display rack includes a mounting member configured to be mounted to a wall or other generally vertical surface. The mounting member includes an upper portion and a lower portion. A footwear shelf includes a proximal section and a distal section with the proximal section extending from the lower portion of the mounting member so as to be configured at an angle between about 0 degrees and about 90 degrees with respect to the wall or other generally vertical surface when the mounting member is secured to the wall or other generally vertical surface. The distal section extends from the proximal section. An accessory support extends from the upper portion of the mounting member.
PRODUCT DISPLAY SHELF, SYSTEM AND METHOD
A product display shelf, system and method are disclosed. The product display system includes a shelf unit having a back shelf portion and a front shelf portion. The back shelf portion includes a first connecting element for releasably attaching the back shelf portion to an electrically powered support member, and the front shelf portion includes a second connecting element for releasably attaching the front shelf portion to the back shelf portion. The front shelf portion can also include a body portion and a display panel connected to or integral with the body portion, suitable for displaying information to a user.
Rack system having electrical supply
A rack system having an electrical supply includes at least one backboard, a bus bar mounted on one of the backboard, and at least one supplier arranged on the bus bar. The bus bar includes a track body, two magnetic strips provided on the track body, and two current conductors spaced apart and disposed on the track body. The magnetic strip receiving grooves and the conductor receiving grooves being arranged two side walls of the track body respectively in a cross section perpendicular to the extending direction of the track body. The supplier includes two resilient contactors spaced apart from each other, and two magnetic columns arranged both sides of the resilient contactors respectively. When the supplier is mounted on the bus bar, the two resilient contactors are electrically connected to the current conductor.
Article feed device
An article feed device for feeding articles along a feeding direction towards a front edge of a shelf being provided with the article feed device. A least one roller carrier has a longitudinal extension which is parallel to the feeding direction and comprises a number of roller receiving seats for rotationally receiving the rollers. The roller carrier is arranged to be longitudinally inserted in the profile rails for fixation of the rollers. The roller carrier comprises end stops for preventing relative longitudinal displacement between the roller carrier and the first profile rails when mounted. The roller carrier is divided into at least two section arranged one after the other in the longitudinal direction. Each section is arranged to be inserted from a respective longitudinal end of the first profile rails and comprising cooperating snap engagement means for mutual engagement of one section to the other.
RETAIL MERCHANDISE SHELVING SYSTEM
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.
PLUG-IN OBJECT AND SHELF SYSTEM
Proposed is a plug-in object of a shelf system for goods presentation having a plug-in part for a plug-in apparatus of the shelf system into which the plug-in part is able to be plugged in a matching receptacle, the plug-in part forming electrical contact with a contact device in the plug-in apparatus and supplying electrical energy to an assembly unit having electrical contact points, in order to be able to supply electrical energy to an electrical load.
