1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to merchandising display assemblies. More specifically, the present invention discloses an elongated and three-sided merchandising display assembly, capable of being mounted to a vertically extending support structure, and for supporting thereupon product display hangers in turn supporting individual volumes of merchandise.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The prior art is well documented with various examples of merchandising display assemblies. Examples of wall mountable and revolving display units are disclosed in U.S. Design Patent No. 320,719, issued to Kolsrud et al., and U.S. Design Patent No. 327,187, issued to Swon. Each of the Kolsrud and Swon patents teaches a four-sided and rotatable display, each of the surfaces thereof consisting of a pegboard like surface, upon which volumes of product can be supported.
Another example of a rotatable merchandising display is set forth in U.S. Design Patent No. 462,556, issued to Shea, and which teaches a three-sided and elongated grid assembly supported at upper and lower ends by a pair of horizontally extending and telescopically extensible support arms. A further example of a three-sided and substantially āUā shaped grid element, secured to a pair of upper and lower extending and telescopic support, is set forth in U.S. Design Patent No. 457,770.
The present invention teaches a combination spin panel and telescopically adjustable power arm assembly for supporting and displaying pluralities of merchandise from a vertically extending support surface. In particular, the present invention combines the feature of impulse merchandising product placement with self-integrated advertisement indicia for increasing retailer space utilization and profit.
A horizontally extending member secures at a first end to a location of the vertically extending support surface and, in a preferred embodiment, includes such as a telescoping assembly with a foot support configured for engaging such as a slotted backplate portion associated with the vertical support surface.
A display assembly suspends from a second end of said horizontally extending member and includes a multi (typically three) sided display panel, a plurality of apertures being formed in spaced increments through at least one of said display panel sides and as specified locations. A pair of multi-sided brackets each include edge-extending flanges, and in order to support the multi-sided display panel at top and bottom locations. Fasteners secure each of the top and bottom panel locations to associated sides of the brackets.
Another fastener extends downwardly from the second end of said horizontal member and engages through an upper surface location of a top located bracket. Typically, a nut attached to an extending end of the fastener and in order to suspend the display assembly from the horizontal member in a freely rotatable manner.
Product hangers engage through the apertures and in order to support thereupon individual volumes of the product merchandise. Advertisement indicia is placed upon at least one of the display panel sides, and in at least partially non-obscuring fashion relative to the hangers and product merchandise.
Reference will now be made to the attached drawings, when read in combination with the following detailed description, wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout the several views, and in which:
Referring now to the several drawing figures, a combined spin panel and horizontal support assembly 10 is illustrated for supporting and displaying pluralities of merchandise from a vertically extending support surface. As previously stated, the present invention combines the feature of impulse merchandising product placement with self-integrated advertisement indicia for increasing retailer space utilization and profit.
As initially shown in
As best further illustrated in
A display assembly suspends from a second end of the horizontally extending member, and such as in particular from an end 22 of telescoping portion 12. The display includes a multi-sided display panel and such as which is constructed by such as a durable and substantially rigid material, such as a plastic or a paperboard material.
In the preferred embodiment, a three-sided display panel, illustrated by panels 24, 26 and 28, is provided and which is folded about its edges to define an elongated and triangular cross-sectional shaped element. A lip 30 extends from a selected edge location of the multi-sided panel, such as from third interconnected side 28, and for assembling said display panel into a polygonal cross-sectional shaped and elongate extending article. In a preferred application, the lid 30 is either glued or otherwise mechanically/chemically affixed to an opposing inner edge surface of the side 24.
A pair of multi-sided brackets are illustrated at 32 and 34 and correspond to top and bottom mounting locations for the assembled and multi-sided display panels. Each of the brackets 32 and 34 include side extending and angled flange portions and this is best illustrated in phantom in
Fasteners secure each of the top and bottom panel locations to associated sides of the brackets. Reference in particular is made to rivets 42, such as in particular being illustrated in each of
A further fastener 46 extends downwardly from the second end 22 of the horizontal telescoping portion 12 and engages through an upper surface location of a top located bracket 32. Typically, one or more nuts, see at 48 in
A plurality of apertures, see for example spaced apart and longitudinally extending pairs 50, are formed in spaced increments through at least one, and preferably all three, of the interconnected display panel sides. As illustrated in
