DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIVE EMBODIMENTS

Generally stated and in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a modular back panel assembly for a display structure. The modular back panel assembly comprises at least one back panel, at least one elongated electrical conductor, at least one display member, and an electrical assembly. The back panel is mounted to the display structure and defines lateral sides, top and bottom ends, front and rear faces, a horizontal width and a vertical height. The front face defines front face apertures along the vertical height. The rear face is mountable to the display structure and comprises at least one elongated channel along the vertical height in alignment with the front face apertures. The elongated electrical conductor is removably mountable within the elongated channel along the vertical height and defines conductor apertures for being coaligned with the front face apertures when the elongated electrical conductor is mounted within the elongated channel. The display member is mounted to the front face of the back panel and comprises a display member electrical conductor comprising at least one mounting element that is insertable within the coaligned front face and conductor apertures. The electrical assembly is in electrical communication with the elongated electrical conductor to provide electrical power thereto. Insertion of the mounting element within the coaligned front face and conductor apertures provides for mounting the display member to the front face and for electrical communication between the display member electrical conductor and the elongated electrical conductor for allowing the elongate electrical conductor when electrically powered by the electrical assembly to provide electrical power to the display member electrical conductor.


The back panel assembly provides for being powered by whatever configuration the user adopts. The back panel assembly provides for powering the display members such as shelves to light them up or to light up other articles connected to the shelves or the back panels. Thus, the display members herein can be provided with a variety of light elements or other power-requiring elements such as sensors, speakers, microphones, robotic structures and the like to enhance the shopping and displaying experience as the user sees fit. Accordingly, the panels may also include similar power-requiring elements. Thus the term “display member” includes any element mountable to the back panel for displaying.



FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 4, show the back panel assembly 10 mounted to a display structure 12. The back panel assembly 10 is modular and can be provided in a variety of suitable configurations, such as assemblies 10A, 10B, 10C and 10D respectively shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 4.


In this example, the display structure is a gondola. It should be noted that the term “gondola” refers to any fixture that provides for displaying merchandise. A gondola is usually free standing but may also be secured to a wall. A gondola usually has shelves but may also include other displaying elements. The term “gondola” herein is not used herein in a limited way and generally refers to the various display structures used in shops for displaying merchandise.


With reference to FIGS. 1-4 and 5, the modular back panel assembly 10 comprises one or more separate back panels 14 for mounting shelves 16 thereto. Each panel is mounted to a top hang bar 18 and a bottom support bar 20. The bars 18 and 20 are mounted to the top and bottom parts respectively of the display structure 12. The display structure 12 upstands from a base 22 and includes a header 24 as is known in the art.


With particular reference to FIGS. 13-16, each back panel 14 defines top and bottom ends 26 and 28, respectively, opposite lateral sides 30A and 30B and front and rear faces, 32 and 34 (see also FIG. 8), respectively. The horizontal width of the back panel 14 is defined between the lateral sides 30A and 30B and the vertical height of the back panel 14 is defined between the top and bottom ends 26 and 28, respectively. The front face 32 includes front face apertures 36 for receiving respective mounting elements 38 (see FIG. 12) of a display member 16. The rear face 34 of back panel 14 includes a top hook 40 for being mounted to the top bar 18 and a bottom hook 42 for being mounted to the bottom bar 20 (see FIGS. 7 and 9). The front faces 32 of the separate back panels 14 of an assembly 10 define the front face 44 (see FIGS. 6 and 7) of the assembly 10 which in turn is the front face of the display structure 12. The rear faces 34 of the separate back panels 14 of an assembly 10 define the rear face 46 (see FIGS. 7 and 8) of the assembly 10 which in turn is the rear face of the display structure 12.


Referring to FIGS. 5 and 8, the rear face 46 of the assembly 10 includes an electrical assembly 48 mounted thereto. The assembly 48 includes a driver 50 mounted to one of the panels 14 on the rear face 36 thereof, with a power input such as adaptor plug-in cable 52 which is connected via a connector 51 through the driver 50 to a cable assembly 53 comprising a spider cable 54. Each branch 56 of the spider cable 54 is connected to a bottom cable 58 via a connector 60. The bottom cable 58 has a pair of opposite ends 62A and 62B. The bottom cables 58 are mounted within the bottom bar 20.


Turning to FIG. 16, the back panel 14 comprises rear elongated channels 66A and 66B formed on the rear side 34 along the vertical height of the back panel 14 and being aligned with the front face apertures 36. In the present non-limiting example, back panel 14 comprises two elongated channels 66A and 66B but it is to be understood that a greater number of vertical elongated channels can be provided along the horizontal width of the rear face 34 of the back panel 14. It is to be also understood, that the back panel 14 can also include one such rear vertical elongated channel. In the present example, the channels 66A and 66B are respectively positioned at or at least near a respective lateral side 30A and 30B.


Each channel 66A and 66B, receives a respective elongated electrical conductor 68A and 68B along the vertical height of the back panel 14. In the example shown here, the elongated electrical conductors 68A and 68B in the form tubular tracks. It is understood that a variety of suitable elongated conductors can be used within the context of the present disclosure and thus the configuration shown here is but one non-limiting illustrative embodiment thereof. A greater or lesser number of elongated electrical conductors per back panel 14 can be contemplated within the scope of the present disclosure depending on the number of back panel rear channels.


The conductors 68A and 68B define respective conductor apertures 64 that are coaligned with respective front face apertures 36 to receive in tandem respective mounting elements 38 (see FIG. 12) of a display member 16. The electrical assembly 48 is in electrical communication with the conductors 68A and 68B to provide electrical power thereto. In one example, the conductors 68A and 66B are to ends 62A and 6B of the bottom cable 58. A variety of electrical assemblies can be connected to the conductors 66A and 66B along the length thereof for providing electrical power thereto.


Turning to FIGS. 10 and 11, each electrical conductor 68A and 68B is secured within a respective channel 66A and 66B. A fastening assembly 70 connects a cable cleat 71 to the outer channel 66B to the inner conductor 66B. The fastening assembly comprises a rear outer fastener 72 which is connected to the cable ends 62A, 62B and is fastened to an inner fastening element 73, positioned within the tubular conductor 68B and which engages the tubular conductor 68B. The fasteners 72 and 73 are conductive elements providing electrical current or power to the conductor 68B.


When powered by the electrical assembly, the electrical conductors 68A and 6B provide for supplying electrical power/current to elements connected thereto.


Turning now to FIGS. 12A and 12B, the display member 16 comprises a conductor 76 in the form of side brackets 78A and 78B comprising rear mounting elements 38 which are in the form of hooks. Each hook 38 is inserted within respective hole defined by the coaligned front face apertures 36 and conductor apertures 64, in the way the hook 38 is mounted to both the channel 66A or 66B and the conductor 68A or 68B. Of course, the channel 66A is made of non-conductive material. Thus, the display member 16 is mounted to the front face 32 of the back panel 16 when its hooks 38 are hooked to the coupled channel and conductor via the coaligned apertures 36 and 64. The hook 38 thus engages the conductor 66A or 66B and when the conductor 66A and 66B is powered by the electrical assembly 48 via its connection thereto, the conductors 66A or 66B provide for powering (i.e. providing electrical current) to the display member conductor 76 in engagement therewith.


Thus conductor 76 provides electrical current to an electrical element 80 mounted to the display member 16. In this example, the display member 16 is a shelf and has a forward opening 82 with an LED element 80 therein connected to brackets 78A and 78B via wiring 84. A reflector 86 protruding from the opening 82 provides for reflecting light. The display member 16 can be provided in a variety of shapes, sizes and types to display articles and the like as required by merchandisers. The electrical element 80 can be of any type requiring power for itself (microphone, speaker etc.) or transmitting power to another element as required by the merchandiser.


The electrical assembly 48 herein can be mounted or integrated to the display structure 12 including the header 24 or base 26 or lateral posts 25 for connecting the electrical assembly 48 to the conductors 68A or 68B or to any top bar 18 or bottom bar 20 or median bar 43 which in turn is connected to the conductors 68A or 68B by way of conductive fasteners or by way of direct contact from wiring as can be contemplated by the skilled artisan.


The posts 25, the header 24, the base 22 form part of the frame structure of the display structure which can be pre-assembled, provided as an assembly for being assembled or provided separately from the modular back panel assembly 10.


The user can thus install one or more back panels 14 on the top and bottom bars 18 and 20 and slide them along the length of the bars 18 and 20 closer to each other or further apart, or attached move bars 18 and 20 in a side by side fashion in order to increase the width of the display structure as desired thereby providing a modifiable and modular backing assembly for a hidden electrified gondola system. The foregoing also facilitates transport of the panel assembly 10 as it is divided in separate panels 14.
