FIG. 2 illustrates an assembled interior unit 12, in accordance with one embodiment. As assembled, the interior unit comprises a back surface 20, first and second sides surfaces 22, a plurality of shelves 24, and a bottom surface 26. As shown, the bottom surface 26 maybe utilized as a shelf.

FIG. 3a illustrates the interior unit in a flat, unassembled configuration. In this configuration, the interior unit may be referred to as an interior unit blank 112. FIG. 3a provides example measurements for portions thereof, for illustration only.

The interior unit blank 112 includes a plurality of vertical fold lines 30. In the embodiment shown, there are four vertical fold lines 30 and one vertical adhesive line 32. The vertical fold lines 30 divide the blank 112 into four panels, one each for forming: a left side surface 34, a front surface 36, a right side surface 38, and a rear surface 40. As assembled, the front surface 36 is a temporary construct, which is later divided into shelves. When the vertical fold lines are folded, the interior unit achieves a substantially rectangular configuration. In other embodiments, other numbers of fold lines may be provided such that the assembled unit may have a different three dimensional configuration. The rear surface panel 40 includes horizontal slots 44. The front surface panel 36 of the blank 112 includes a plurality of shelf sections for forming shelves of the assembled interior unit that cooperate with the slots 44.

FIG. 3b illustrates Section A of FIG. 3a. Each shelf section 48 comprises a front fold line 50 and a rear fold line 52, separated by panel 54. The shelf sections are separated by space 56. Folding along the rear fold line 52 forms rear tab 58. Folding along the front fold line 50 forms front shelf extension 60. The rear tab 58 is received by a slot 44. The height of the panel 54 corresponds to the depth of the formed shelf and the depth of the interior unit between the front surface panel and the rear surface panel. The height of the front shelf extension 60 corresponds to the front height of the shelf.

To assemble the interior unit, the blank is folded along the vertical fold lines 30 and the glue line 32 is exposed to adhere the right side panel 38 to the rear panel 40. This configuration is shown in FIG. 3c. To assemble each shelf, the front fold line 50 is folded and the panel 54 is directed rearwardly. The rear fold line 52 is folded downwardly and the rear tab 58 is inserted in the slot 44. FIG. 3d illustrates the interior unit with the bottom shelf being folded rearwardly. Slots 44 provided along the rear surface panel 40 receive the rear tabs 58 to generally fix the shelves in place. In various embodiments, each tab may be received by 1, 2, 3, or more slots. The embodiment of FIG. 3a illustrates two slots 44 for receiving each tab 58. While the slots are shown in groups of two per shelf, it is to be appreciated that more or fewer slots may be used as desired. FIG. 3e illustrates an embodiment having one slot 44 per shelf.

In some embodiments, a series of shelves are provided. These may be evenly spaced or unevenly spaced. While four shelves are shown, more or fewer shelves may be provided. These may be evenly spaced or unevenly spaced.

FIG. 4 illustrates an assembled exterior unit 14, in accordance with one embodiment. As assembled, the exterior unit comprises a back surface 70, first and second sides surfaces 72, a front surface 74, and a bottom 76. The bottom 76 may be open or closed. The exterior unit has one or more panels corresponding to placement of one or more shelves of the interior unit.

FIG. 5a illustrates the exterior unit in a flat, unassembled configuration. In this configuration, the interior unit may be referred to as an exterior unit blank 114. FIG. 5a provides example measurements for portions thereof, for illustration only.

The exterior unit blank 114 includes a plurality of vertical fold lines 80. In the embodiment shown, there are four vertical fold lines 80 and one vertical adhesive line 82. The vertical fold lines 80 divide the blank 114 into four panels, one each for forming: a left side surface 84, a front surface 86, a right side surface 88, and a rear surface 90. As assembled, the front surface 86 is a temporary construct, which is later divided into shelves. When the vertical fold lines are folded, the exterior unit achieves a substantially rectangular configuration. In other embodiments, other numbers of fold lines may be provided such that the assembled unit may have a different three dimensional configuration. The exterior unit 14 may have a three dimensional configuration different from the interior unit 12 three dimensional configuration so long as the interior unit 12 can be received by the exterior unit 14 and the panels of the exterior unit line up with the shelves of the interior unit (as described more fully below). In general, the exterior unit may have any number of sides.

In the embodiments shown, the interior unit shelf depth (and depth of unit) is less than the exterior unit shelf depth. In alternative embodiments, the interior unit shelf depth may be substantially the same as the exterior unit shelf depth.

The exterior unit blank may further comprise a plurality of cooperating extension pieces 92 along bottom edges of one or more of the left side surface 84, front surface 86, right side surface 88, or rear surface 90 that can be folded towards one another to form a bottom surface of the exterior unit. When the vertical fold lines are folded and the cooperating extension pieces folded, the exterior unit achieves a closed tubular configuration. In alternative embodiments, no extension pieces may be provided and the assembled exterior unit may have an open bottom.

FIG. 5b illustrates Section B of FIG. 5a. Each shelf section 94 comprises a front fold line 96 and a panel 98. Folding along the front fold line 96 forms front shelf extension 100. The height of the panel 96 corresponds to the depth of the formed shelf. As shown, an upper portion of the panel 98 may be slightly narrower than a lower portion. The narrower section may correspond to the area of the panel that is coextensive with the shelves of the interior unit when the shelved display stand is assembled. Placement of the front fold lines 96 in the exterior unit blank may generally correspond to placement of the front fold lines 50 of the interior unit blank.

FIG. 5c illustrates an assembled exterior unit, in accordance with one embodiment. To assemble the exterior unit, the blank is folded along the vertical fold lines 80 and the glue line 82 is exposed to adhere the left side panel 84 to the rear panel 90. If provided, the extension pieces 92 are engaged to form a bottom surface of the exterior unit. This configuration is shown in FIG. 5c.

FIG. 5d illustrates an exterior unit blank for forming an exterior unit having an open bottom. In this embodiment, no extension pieces 92 are provided. FIG. 5e illustrates an alternative closed bottom exterior unit blank wherein the extension pieces 92 have a smaller profile. The embodiment of FIG. 5e forms a partially closed exterior unit.

FIG. 5f illustrates an embodiment of an exterior unit blank 114 for forming an exterior unit having three shelves and a display surface 102 for displaying, for example, information about a product to be displayed by the assembled shelved display unit. As shown, the exterior unit blank 114 includes three front fold lines 96, each having a corresponding panel 98 for forming a shelf. Two shelf extensions 100 are provided, with the display surface 102 being provided in place of a third shelf extension 100. While the display surface 102 is shown at a lower portion of the exterior unit, it could alternatively be at an upper portion or generally centrally located.

After each of the interior unit 12 and the exterior unit 14 are assembled, the interior unit 12 is slid into the exterior unit 14 (or the exterior unit 14 is slid over the interior unit 12). FIG. 6a illustrates the interior unit 12 positioned to be slid into the exterior unit 14. As shown, at this stage, the shelves 24 of the interior unit 12 are fully formed while the panels 98 of the exterior unit are in a vertical orientation.

After the interior unit 12 is received by the exterior unit 14, the exterior unit panels 98 are folded along front fold lines 96 and the panels 98 pressed against the shelves 24 of the interior unit. FIG. 6b illustrates the interior unit 12 received by the exterior unit 14 and a bottom panel 98 folded along front fold line 96. In FIG. 6b, remaining panels 98 are still in a vertical orientation. FIG. 6c illustrates all panels 98 having been folded to form a fully assembled shelved display stand 10, in accordance with one embodiment. In the embodiment shown, the front shelf extension 100 forms a flat shelf lip. In alternative embodiments, other geometries may be used. For example, a profile piece may be provided (integrally or as an additional component) to extend above the surface of the shelf in front of product positioned on the shelf to assist in securing the product.

As discussed, in the embodiments shown, the interior unit shelf depth (and depth of unit) is less than the exterior unit shelf depth. Accordingly the front end 110 of the sides 22 of the interior unit 12 can be seen. The area 112 of the panel 98 of the exterior unit 14 is thus slightly wider than the area of the panel coextensive with the interior unit shelf.

In some embodiments, the shelved display stand may include a header card 16. The header card may be, for example, a graphic header card 16. FIG. 7a illustrates a one-sided header card 16. FIG. 7b illustrates a two-sided header card 16. The header card may be printed on one or both sides of the card. The header card is not weight bearing and thus may be optimized for printability without regard to strength. While the shown header cards are rectangular, any shape or design of header card could be used.

The header cards have a top edge, a bottom edge, a left side edge, and a right side edge. The bottom edge may include tabs for receipt by the display unit or may otherwise be attached to the display unit. In the embodiments shown, three tabs are provided. More specifically, two outside tabs 120 and one inside tab 122 are provided. These tabs alternately are inserted between the interior unit and the exterior unit, in front of the interior unit, or behind the exterior unit, providing a weaving of the header card 16 relative the combined interior unit and exterior unit. It is to be appreciated that more or fewer tabs may be provided. A notch 124 may be provided at the lower portion of the header card 16 for receipt within the interior unit. The two-sided card has a fold line 126 generally central to the length of the card such that the two-sided card may be folded along the fold line 126 to form the header card 16. FIG. 8 illustrates a header card 16 positioned on the combined interior unit 12 and exterior unit 14. As shown, the outside tabs 120 are positioned inside the interior unit 12 while the inside tab is positioned behind the exterior unit 14.

The interior unit 12 is reusable. More specifically, the exterior unit 14 (and header card if provided) can be removed from the interior unit 12 and a replacement exterior unit and header card (with different printing or graphics) may be placed thereover. FIG. 9 illustrates an assembled display unit including an interior unit 12, an exterior unit 14a, and a header card 16a as well as a replacement exterior unit 14b and a replacement header card 16b. The exterior units 114a and 114b and the header cards 16a and 16b have differing graphics.

In general, the shelved display stand may be configured so that the interior unit is substantially covered by the exterior unit. The interior unit may thus be optimized for strength without regard to printability. The blanks may be formed from a variety of materials including corrugated paperboard, folding carton, solid fiber, plastic sheeting, plastic corrugated, combinations thereof, or any other suitable material. In some embodiments, the interior unit thus may comprise a strong, heavy material such as a thick corrugated cardboard. With the interior unit providing strength and stability to the shelved display stand, the exterior unit may be optimized for printability and may be weaker. Alternatively, each of the interior unit and the exterior unit may comprise the same material. In general, the shelved display stand is capable of supporting up to thirty to fifty pounds per shelf. For a shelved display stand having four shelves, the unit is capable of supporting 120 to 200 pounds.

The interior unit and the exterior unit may be shipped flat in a one piece shipping unit. FIG. 10 illustrates such a shipping unit 130 in a flat unassembled configuration.

FIGS. 12a-12c illustrate various embodiments of an exterior unit blank 114. More specifically, FIGS. 12a-12c illustrate a folding sequence for gluing exterior unit 14.

Upon unpacking, each of the interior unit and the exterior unit are assembled. Assembly generally comprises folding along fold lines and adhering along glue lines. In some embodiments, an adhesive strip may be provided along one or more glue lines prior to shipping and a protective cover removed after unpacking to expose the adhesive strip. Alternatively, glue or other adhesive may be applied after unpacking.

Initial assembly comprises folding and gluing the interior unit blank to form an interior unit as shown in FIG. 3c, folding along the front fold lines to direct the panels rearwardly, and inserting the rear tab(s) into the slot(s) of the rear surface of the interior unit to provide a configuration substantially as shown in FIG. 2. The exterior unit blank is folded and glued to form an exterior unit substantially as shown in FIG. 5c. The exterior unit is slid over the interior unit, as shown in FIG. 6a. The exterior unit panels are folded inwardly to form a shelved display stand as shown in FIG. 6c. A header card may be placed over the shelved display stand, as shown in FIG. 1.

The shelved display stand is customizable and can be configured to a variety of sizes and with any number of shelves to meet brands' visual merchandising needs. The interior unit can be reused with replaceable exterior units and/or header cards.

As used herein, the terms “substantially” or “generally” refer to the complete or nearly complete extent or degree of an action, characteristic, property, state, structure, item, or result. For example, an object that is “substantially” or “generally” enclosed would mean that the object is either completely enclosed or nearly completely enclosed. The exact allowable degree of deviation from absolute completeness may in some cases depend on the specific context. However, generally speaking, the nearness of completion will be so as to have generally the same overall result as if absolute and total completion were obtained. The use of “substantially” or “generally” is equally applicable when used in a negative connotation to refer to the complete or near complete lack of an action, characteristic, property, state, structure, item, or result. For example, an element, combination, embodiment, or composition that is “substantially free of” or “generally free of” an element may still actually contain such element as long as there is generally no significant effect thereof.
