Abstract

A shelving merchandising system for installation on preexisting shelves comprising an extrusion, wherein said extrusion comprises an attachment member, a display front and a plurality of connection members. The attachment member may be any device or combination of cooperating devices that are capable of either permanently or removably attaching the extrusion to at least a portion of a shelf.

Claims

1. A shelving merchandising system for installation on preexisting Industrial Rack or Gondola comprising an extrusion, wherein said extrusion comprises an attachment member, a display front and a plurality of connection members for cooperative attachment of one or more extrusion components.

2. The shelving merchandising system of claim 1 wherein the attachment member is taken from the group consisting of wire, a cable tie, a strap, a belt, a screw, a bolt, a clamp, a push-in insert, a clip, a snap, a channel, hook and loop fasteners, double sided tape, an adhesive, a bracket, a magnet and combinations thereof.

3. The shelving merchandising system of claim 2 wherein the attachment member is a bracket, said bracket comprising a back stabilizer, a front stabilizer, a hole in a length and a shim, adapted such that at least a portion of said shim is received by said hole, said length connecting the back stabilizer and the front face with the front stabilizer extending from the length adjacent the hole for attachment to a front beam of an Industrial Rack shelf.

4. The shelving merchandising system of claim 3 wherein the length is adapted to be oriented horizontally along a top of the beam and said front and back stabilizers extend downwardly from said length at an angle of approximately 90°

from said length.

5. The shelving merchandising system of claim 2 wherein the attachment member is a bracket and the extrusion is removably attached to the bracket by retention means taken from the group consisting of a channel for receiving a portion of the bracket, hook and loop fasteners, snaps, catches, clasps, hooks and corresponding receptacles and adhesives.

6. The shelving merchandising system of claim 1 wherein the attachment member comprises a screw that passes through at least a portion of the extrusion into a shelf.

7. The shelving merchandising system of claim 6 wherein the extrusion further comprises a trough extending from the extrusion, the trough being adapted to receive a screw and contact at least a portion of the shelf, wherein the screw passes through the trough for attachment of the extrusion to the shelf.

8. The shelving merchandising system of claim 2 wherein the bracket is integrally formed with the extrusion.

9. The shelving merchandising system of claim 1 wherein at least one of the connection members is taken from the group consisting of channels, hooks, catches, clips, snaps, holes, slits, hook and loop fasteners, and combinations thereof.

10. The shelving merchandising system of claim 9 comprising a hook at a top and a bottom of the extrusion, wherein the hooks are provided with a catch to secure one or more cooperating extrusion components on the extrusion.

11. The shelving merchandising system of claim 1 wherein the one or more extrusion components are taken from the group consisting of a display, a divider panel, a bin, a pocket, a mounting block, a lens, a secondary display front, a merchandising prong and combinations thereof.

12. The shelving merchandising system of claim 1 wherein the extrusion further comprises a holding rack and a back lip.

13. The shelving merchandising system of claim 1 wherein the extrusion further comprises a hinge between the means for removable attachment to the front face of the bracket and the display front.

14. The shelving merchandising system of claim 8 wherein the extrusion further comprises a stop between the means for removable attachment to the front face of the bracket and an interior portion of the display front.

15. The shelving merchandising system of claim 1 wherein said display front comprises means for receiving at least a portion of a display.

16. The shelving merchandising system of claim 15 wherein the means for receiving at least a portion of a display is take from the group consisting of a channel for receiving the display, hook and loop fasteners, snaps, catches, clasps, hooks and corresponding receptacles and adhesives.

17. The shelving merchandising system of claim 1 wherein the extrusion includes a hinge upon which the display front is lifted and further comprises an interior display front for engagement of a second display.

18. The shelving merchandising system of claim 17 wherein the interior display front extends across the hinge upon which the display front is lifted.

19. The shelving merchandising system of claim 11 wherein the bin comprises at least two adjacent bin walls that are positioned perpendicular to said extrusion, said walls each being provided with one or more tracks, and a bin floor adapted to be received within said tracks on said adjacent bin walls.

20. The shelving merchandising system of claim 19 wherein said bin floor further comprises fastening hooks, said two or more tracks further comprise clasp receiving hooks, and said bin floor is removably connected to said walls via a connection between said fastening hooks and said clasp receiving hooks.

21. A shelf merchandising system for attachment to an existing shelf system, said existing shelf system comprising a shelf having one or more openings at the lateral ends running parallel to a front edge of a shelf, comprising a display element including a display body including a display area on a first side of said display body and one or more pegs corresponding to openings at the lateral ends of the shelf extending from an side opposite said first side of said display body, wherein said display element is removably attached to a shelf by inserting said one or more pegs into said openings at said lateral ends of said shelf.

22. A shelf merchandising system for attachment to an existing shelf system comprising a vertical column fixture wherein said vertical column fixture comprises a vertical shaft, said vertical shaft having a width approximately the same as a vertical support column of the existing shelf system and two side angled faces attached to said vertical shaft at converging angles of equal to or less than 90°

and one or more support hooks located on the rear of said vertical shaft for removably mounting the vertical column fixture on a vertical support column.

23. The shelf merchandising system of claim 22 further comprising a front face attached between said two side angled faces at an angle equal to or greater than 90°

, said front face being substantially parallel to said preexisting vertical support column.

24. The shelf merchandising system of claim 22 further comprising a plurality of holes on each of said faces for accepting merchandising prongs on which product may be hung.

25. The shelf merchandising system of claim 22 further comprising a plurality of merchandising hooks on each of said faces for hanging product.

26. The shelf merchandising system of claim 22 further comprising an indicia space for providing information.
