Abstract

A display fixture has a bin with multiple sections. A clip attached to a back panel of the bin has an aperture for receiving a fastener to fasten the bin to a peg board. A back support is mounted to the bin and has a downwardly extending leg that is sized to fit between the peg board and a back surface of a base that the display fixture is seated upon. The bin includes a lower tier of product sections defined in part by a front panel and has a lower sign support with two legs attached to the front panel and a lower label holder connected between the two legs such that there is an open space defined between the two legs and between a top of the front panel and a bottom of the lower label holder. The bin also includes an upper tier of product sections.

wherein the front edges that define the open front are connected together with a bottom strip proximate a bottom of the at least one first divider and a top strip proximate a top of the at least one first divider, the bottom strip is spaced apart from the top strip and is completely hidden behind the front panel of the lower tier and the top strip is completely hidden behind the lower label holder.

2. The display unit of claim 1 wherein the front panel of the upper tier of product sections defines a back of the lower tier of product sections.

3. The display unit of claim 1 further comprising a support attached to the display unit and having a leg extending downward from a bottom of the display unit.

4. The display unit of claim 1 further comprising at least one second divider structure made of a single, continuous piece of material having three parts including a center part and two side parts folded relative to the center part to oppose each other and including front edges that define an open front, wherein the center part of the at least one second divider structure is attached to a back wall of the upper tier, the side parts of the at least one second divider structure divide the upper tier into at least three sections, a lower portion of the front edges of the at least one second divider structure abut the front panel of the upper tier and an upper portion of the front edges of the at least one second divider structure abut the upper label holder.

5. A display unit comprising:

a front section defined by a front wall and a floor, wherein the front section includes a pair of legs attached to an inside surface of the front wall and extending above a top of the front wall to free ends and a front label holder connected between the free ends of the pair of legs so there is an open space between the top of the front wall and a bottom of the front label holder; and

a back section defined by a front wall that also defines a portion of a back of the front section, a back wall and a floor, wherein the back section includes a pair of legs attached to an inside surface of the front wall of the back section and extending above a top of the front wall of the back section to free ends and a back label holder connected between the free ends of the pair of legs of the back section so there is an open space between the top of the front panel of the back section and a bottom of the back label holder;

wherein the front section comprises at least one clear divider made of a single, continuous piece of clear material having a first panel attached to the front wall of the back section, second and third panels folded relative to the first panel and facing each other to divide the front section into at least three bins and front edges that define an open front, the at least one clear divider of the front section extends from the floor of the front section, above the top edge of the front wall of the front section and terminates behind the front label holder between the bottom of the front label holder and a top of the front label holder and the front edges of the at least one clear divider of the front section abut the front wall of the front section and the front label holder;

wherein the floor of the back section is located above the floor of the front section and wherein the back label holder is located above the front label holder.

6. The display unit of claim 5 wherein the back section comprises at least one clear divider made of a single, continuous piece of clear material having first panel attached to the back wall of the back section and a second panel folded relative to the first panel that divides the back section into at least two bins.

7. The display unit of claim 6 wherein the at least one clear divider of the back section extends from the floor of the back section, above the top edge of the front wall of the back section and terminates behind the back label holder between the bottom of the back label holder and a top of the back label holder.

8. The display unit of claim 6 wherein the at least one clear divider of the back section further comprises a third panel so that the second panel and the third panel divide the back section into at least three bins.

9. The display unit of claim 5, wherein the front edges of the second and third panel of the at least one clear divider of the front section comprises are fastened together by at least one strip.

10. The display unit of claim 5, wherein the back section comprises at least one clear divider having a center panel that is fastened to the back wall of the back section and first and second side panels located on opposing sides of the center panel and the fronts of the first and second side panels being fastened together by at least one strip.

11. A wrapping holder display comprising:

a lower tier defined by a front panel and a floor, wherein attached to an inside surface of the front panel includes a pair of legs extending above a top of the front panel to free ends and a lower tier label holder connected between the free ends of the pair of legs so there is an open space between the top of the front panel and a bottom of the lower tier label holder;

an upper tier defined by a front panel that also defines a portion of a back of the lower tier, a back panel and a floor;

wherein attached to an inside surface of the upper tier includes a pair of legs extending above a top of the front panel of the upper tier to free ends and an upper tier label holder connected between the free ends of the pair of legs of the upper tier so there is an open space between the top of the front panel of the upper tier and a bottom of the upper tier label holder;
