MODULAR WALL ASSEMBLY FOR A COSMETIC FIXTURE SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A modular wall assembly configured to provide electrical power to a shelf assembly, the wall assembly comprising:
- a vertically oriented back panel;
a cross bar horizontally and detachably mounted to the back panel;
a pair of vertical uprights detachably mounted to the cross bar, each of the vertical uprights having an electrically non-conductive portion and an electrically conductive portion, the electrically conductive portion being electrically isolated from the cross bar by the electrically non-conductive portion; and
a top cap disposed along an upper edge of the back panel and in electrical contact with electrically conductive portion of each of the vertical uprights.

Abstract
Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a merchandise display system having a modular wall assembly configured to provide electrical power to one or more shelf assemblies. The wall assembly can include a vertically oriented back panel, a cross bar horizontally and detachably mounted to the back panel, a pair of vertical uprights and a top cap. The pair of vertical uprights can be detachably mounted to the cross bar with each of the vertical uprights having an electrically non-conductive portion and an electrically conductive portion. The electrically conductive portion can be electrically isolated from the cross bar by the electrically non-conductive portion. The top cap can be disposed along an upper edge of the back panel and in electrical contact with electrically conductive portion of each of the vertical uprights.

22. A method of configuring a reconfigurable merchandise display comprising:
-
securing a cross bar to a vertically oriented back panel; securing two or more vertical uprights to the cross bar, each of the first vertical uprights having an electrically non-conductive portion and an electrically conductive portion, the electrically conductive portion being electrically isolated from the cross bar by the electrically non-conductive portion; securing a top cap in electrical contact between two or more of the vertical uprights; and securing a shelf assembly to two or more of the vertical uprights, the shelf assembly including an area configured to hold merchandise for display, a pair of electrically conductive support arms extending from the shelf assembly, and circuitry selectively engaging the electrically conductive arms, wherein electricity flows from the top cap through a first one of the vertical uprights to a first one of the electrically conductive arms to supply the electricity to the circuitry and flows from the circuitry through a second one of the conductive arms and a second one of the vertical uprights back to the top cap. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25)
