Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing signage display systems for store shelves lack innovative methods to effectively draw consumer attention and efficiently display product information on end stands or end caps.
Innovation Solution
A modular display system using foldable paperboard or corrugated cardboard components with integrated LED lighting and a side saddle product holder that can be easily assembled and secured on top shelves, featuring foldable arms and a compartment for housing batteries and electronics, along with a side saddle display that utilizes gravity to replace products.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If traditional signage is used on store shelves, then product information can be displayed, but consumer attention is not effectively captured
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions into a single display system: the signage structure, LED lighting elements, product information display, and attachment mechanisms are integrated into one unified assembly that can be easily installed on store shelves, thereby capturing consumer attention without requiring multiple separate components
Solution Approach 2:
The display system is designed to serve multiple purposes simultaneously: it provides product information, captures attention through lighting, and can be easily installed and removed. The system works with various shelf types and can display different product information, making it a versatile solution for retail environments
2Ease of manufacture
If complex display systems are installed on end stands, then advertising visibility is improved, but assembly and installation become difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is divided into distinct modular components including the main signage body, LED lighting sections, attachment arms, and mounting mechanisms. Each component can be separately manufactured and then easily assembled together through simple connection methods, reducing assembly difficulty while maintaining structural complexity for effective display
Solution Approach 2:
The display system components are pre-configured and pre-assembled to a degree that facilitates easy installation. The attachment mechanisms are designed to be pre-positioned on the signage structure, and the LED elements are pre-wired, allowing the system to be quickly installed on end stands without requiring complex on-site assembly or electrical work
3Productivity
If product holders are placed on end caps, then product availability is improved, but product replacement efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The product holder is designed with dynamic characteristics that enable easy product replacement. The holder includes movable components such as spring-loaded arms or gravity-assisted mechanisms that automatically adjust as products are removed and inserted, allowing rapid restocking without manual adjustment while keeping products easily accessible to customers
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The display system effectively captures consumer attention with lighting and product information while providing an efficient mechanism for product replacement, enhancing advertising and sales visibility on store shelves.
Implementation Method 1
The light display can include a plurality of LED lights powered by batteries held in a housing positioned behind the display system
Implementation Method 2
The products in the holder are removed from an opening in a lower portion of the holder. Accordingly, gravity feeds the next products being held to the opening
