Merchandise display system

Abstract

A plurality of pairs of opposed and vertically spaced guide rails are provided on the right and left sides of frame rods provided at the front and rear sides of a frame unit. Each guide rail has a cut portion provided at an appropriate intermediate position on the lower side thereof. A free tray adapted to be mounted on a pair of opposed right and left guide rails has projections at appropriate positions on the right and left side ends of the bottom thereof. The projections are engageable with the cut portions of the right and left guide rails. Individual trays are placed in parallel on the free tray. Each individual tray has a high side wall on one longitudinally extending side thereof and a low guide wall on the other longitudinally extending side. Each individual tray has a mount provided in a front end portion thereof and a slider slidable along a longitudinal slot rail provided in the center of the bottom thereof. A work-table plate is fitted in table guides provided on the lower side of a base plate to which the bottom portions of the frame rods of the frame unit are secured.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a merchandise display system for displaying merchandise such as packs of cigarettes.[0003]2. Discussion of Related Art[0004]In displaying merchandise such as packs of cigarettes for sale at stores such as convenience stores, it has heretofore been common practice to place various kinds of merchandise items in parallel on trays in a three-dimensional display case. Techniques relating to the conventional merchandise display method are disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Publication Nos. Sho 59-218113 and 2005-237566, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. Hei 1-86856, and Japanese Registered Utility Model Nos. 3115289 and 3118700.[0005]There is, however, no technical document relating to a merchandise display system in which a frame unit section, a tray section and a work-table section are integrated collectively. The present invention has been made in view o...

Benefits of technology

[0008]In the merchandise display system according to the present invention, cut portions are provided at appropriate intermediate positions on the lower sides of the right and left guide rails extending between the front and rear frame rods constituting a frame unit, and projections provided at appropriate intermediate positions on the right and left side ends of the bottom of the free tray are slidingly engaged in the cut portions, respectively. Therefore, the free tray can constantly keep a stationary state even when accommodating a large number of individual trays therein. Accordingly, merchandise can be displayed securely.

[0009]The cut portions of the guide rails and the projections of the free tray may be provided at slightly offcenter positions. This positional relationship makes it possible to vary the extent of projection of merchandise items on the individual trays in the free tray. Accordingly, it is possible not only to give variation to the displaying effect but also to modify the configuration of the tray section according to the conditions of the installation space.
