Example

[0016]Referring to FIGS. 1 and 3, the merchandise display system according to one embodiment of the present invention is indicated generally at 10. The merchandise display system 10 may be of a modular construction and include a plurality of display units 100 and a base unit 200. The display units 100 and base unit 200 may be made of any suitable material, such as plastic or metal. In one embodiment, the display units 100 are hollow structures filled with a foam-based insulation material, which may reduce the weight of the merchandise display system 10. In one embodiment, the base unit 200 is also a hollow structure filled with a foam-based insulation material, which may reduce the weight of the merchandise display system 10.

[0017]The display units 100 and base unit 200 may be any suitable size or shape. In one example, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the display units 100 and base unit 200 are generally cube shaped. Alternatively, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the display units 100 and base ...

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates generally to a modular refrigerated display system for storing and dispensing merchandise.BACKGROUND[0002]Commercial refrigerators have had the same design and construction for many years.[0003]Commercial refrigerators are typically large heavy boxes that have failed to keep up with design trends and consumer expectations. Because of the large size, commercial refrigerators are often under-utilized and only partially filled. The walls of commercial refrigerators are generally formed from two thin steel plates with insulating polyurethane foam injected between them. This construction makes the commercial refrigerators heavy, time-consuming to build, and difficult to recycle. Additionally, many of the commercial refrigerators have negative impacts to the environment because of the type of refrigerant and compressor used.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0004]An object of this invention described herein is to provide a light weight modular refri...
