Modular storage system for storage containers
A storage system is configured for adjustable suspension from fixed points on a vertical wall, such as from fixed tie-down loops that are rigidly and permanently affixed to the wall of a shipping container. The system includes a plurality of pivotable arms that may have attached thereto shelves or other planar panels and may be variably positioned to provide vertical storage panels, flat work surfaces (such as a desk surface), or upwardly angled support posts, for example, for hanging items such as cables, ropes, pipe sections, and the like. A suspension assembly for the storage system enables hanging suspension of the system at any desired location along the length of the vertical wall, despite the location of the fixed loops from which the system is ultimately suspended.
Multi-wheel rotational display assembly
The multi-wheel display assembly includes a lower display portion having a circular configuration in a horizontal plane and an upper display portion having a circular configuration in a horizontal plane that is displaced upwardly from the lower display portion by a plurality of support rods, each display portion including a plurality of planetary and orbital gears each having a peripheral edge and teeth appropriately engaged for rotation of the gear systems. Specifically, the display assembly includes a gearing system with a central drive gear, multiple planetary-gears, and a third layer of orbiting gears that each have a horizontal side wall for holding a display article such as a mug or food item and which remains level even as respective gears revolve. The orbiting gears and the planetary gears are radially arranged along concentric circumferential paths and connected to the central drive gear through complementary rotational movements and complementary gear teeth.
MODULAR STORAGE SYSTEM FOR STORAGE CONTAINERS
A storage system is configured for suspension from a storage container or modular building. The storage system includes a first vertical upright, a second vertical upright, a first arm coupled to the first vertical upright, a second arm coupled to the second vertical upright, and a shelf coupled to the first and second arms. The shelf has a first side located proximate the first and second vertical uprights and a second side opposite the first side. Each of the first arm and the second arm is configured to pivot between and to be releasably fixed in position in a first state in which the arm is oriented perpendicular with respect to the vertical upright, a second state in which the arm is angled toward an upper end of the vertical upright, and a third state in which the arm is oriented parallel with respect to the vertical upright.
Merchandise display roller track having high structural rigidity
A roller track for a merchandiser has a roller frame with longitudinally spaced pedestals having a top surface and extending vertically from the roller frame on each lateral side to form receptacles. A roller is disposed in at least a portion of the receptacles. A plurality of longitudinally spaced apart, laterally extending first protrusions is disposed on each lateral edge of the roller frame. Spaces between first protrusions define first openings. A bottom of the first protrusions is elevated from a bottom of the roller frame. A plurality of longitudinally spaced apart second protrusions extends laterally from each lateral edge of the roller frame. Spaces between the second protrusions define second openings. The first protrusions and the second protrusions are longitudinally and vertically offset from each other. A longitudinally extending rail is affixed to the pedestal top surfaces on each side of the roller frame.
SECURITY BARRIER APPARATUS AND SYSTEM
A security barrier apparatus includes a support portion connected to a display fixture, a barrier portion pivotally coupled to the support portion, an input device coupled to the support portion; and a locking assembly in communication with the input device and structured to define an unlocked state and a locked state. The locking assembly is configured to move to the unlocked state when an input is provided to the input device and is configured to move to the locked state when the input ceases to be provided to the input device. In the unlocked state, the barrier portion is enabled to be pivoted relative to the support portion between an open and closed position, and when in the locked state, the barrier portion is inhibited from pivoting relative to the support portion.
SELF-CLOSING SECURITY DOOR ASSEMBLY FOR RETAIL DISPLAY
A self-closing door assembly for limiting access to goods displayed on a shelving system. A frame assembly is attached to the shelving system adjacent the front edge of a first shelf, with upper and lower guide rails to slidably engage a pair of overlapping and self-closing doors. The doors are aligned to laterally slide open from a closed position at which they interfere with manual access to the goods displayed on the shelf. Biasing members disposed between the frame assembly and the doors urge the doors toward the closed position. The doors are adapted for manual engagement to be urged toward the open position, and the biasing members automatically return the doors to the closed position upon manual release thereof.
ROLLER-TYPE PRODUCT DISPLAY DEVICE
A roller-type goods display device that includes a roller stage on which a plurality of unit columns are disposed and a frame rail disposed between the unit columns. The roller stage may include a roller stage body, a roller part where a plurality of rollers are disposed on a first surface formed on one side of the roller stage body, a frame part disposed between the roller parts and formed on a sliding surface arranged parallel to and alternating with the first surface, and a fastening part disposed between the roller part and the frame part. A frame rail is disposed in each frame part, and the frame rail includes a covering area that covers the fastening part.
Retractable Tile System for Retail Shelf
A merchandising system for a retail shelf, the merchandising system including a frame configured to attach to the retail shelf and including a hinge extending between a first end and a second end of the frame, a plurality of tiles each pivotally coupled to the hinge and operable to independently rotate about the hinge from a first position to a second position, and an actuator system coupled to the hinge and selectively engageable with the plurality of tiles to simultaneously move the plurality of tiles from the first position to the second position.
Display Unit with Intermittently Rotating Drive Mechanism
Disclosed is a drive mechanism. The motor unit generates a rotational force to rotate the motor shaft. The primary shaft is adapted to be rotated upon rotation of the motor shaft. The plurality of partially toothed gears are adapted to be rotated upon rotation of the primary shaft. The plurality of fully-toothed gears rotates upon rotation of the plurality of partially toothed gears, and the plurality of secondary shafts rotate upon rotation of the plurality of fully toothed gears. The plurality of plates includes an engaging surface and a plurality of grooves, such that each groove of the plurality of grooves is adapted to engage with a ball portion of each spring loaded ball plunger of the plurality of spring loaded ball plungers during the rotation of the each fully toothed gear of the plurality of fully toothed gears to intermittently rotate each secondary shaft.
