Particular implementations of the subject matter described in this specification can be implemented so as to realize one or more of the following advantages.
Implementations of the present disclosure can improve the maintainability of electronic displays mounted to a display case door. For example, implementations of the present disclosure can provide for easy replacement or maintenance of electronic displays mounted to a display case door without the need to remove an entire display case door. For example, two people can safely lift and replace the electronic display without placing uneven shear loading on screws and bracket threads.
Implementations of the present disclosure can allow mounting of an electronic display in a display case door without cutouts or notching of the side rails of the door frame, thereby maintaining structural integrity of side rails and increasing manufacturability and interchangeability among different door sizes and display sizes. For example, implementations of the present disclosure can allow the same display to be implemented in different door sizes. In addition, providing an installation without rail cutouts avoids any reduction in strength or rigidity of the supporting structure for the electronic display.
Implementations of the present disclosure can allow for installation of electronic displays of a given size in different size doors using common tools and a common setup.
Implementations of the present disclosure can simplify display case door removal and increase the safety of the operation by using a quick disconnect power connection. Implementations of the present disclosure can allow for the maintenance of cameras or other small electrical components by only one person.
Implementations of the present disclosure can reduce time required for assembly and maintenance of an electronic display assembly. For example, a single person can hang an electronic display assembly on a display case door. For example, an electronic display assembly. For example, a single person can remove the electronic display assembly from the display case door converting it to a clear door assembly. Removing the electronic display assembly from the display case door converting it to a clear door can be used if the electronic display assembly has failed.
Implementations of the present disclosure can improve electronic display assembly durability. For example, positioning stiffeners on the edges of an electronic display assembly during instillation to a display case door can reduce bending, bowing, and warping of electronic display assembly, which can lead to breakage and damage of the electronic display assembly.
The details of one or more embodiments of the invention are set forth in the accompanying drawings and the description below. Other features, objects, and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the description and drawings, and from the claims.
In some implementations, display case door includes one or more bezels (omitted from
Insulated panel assembly 104 can include one or more panes of glass. In some implementations, insulated panel assembly 104 includes two or more layers of transparent panes bounding a sealed space in between, forming a sealed glass unit (SGU). Door frame 106 extends around and is secured to a peripheral edge of insulated panel assembly 104. As further described in detail below, door frame 106 defines a channel or tunnel that receives one or more power cables that provide electrical power to the electronic display assembly 102. A portion of the insulated panel assembly 104 can be transparent to visible light so that the electronic display assembly 102 can be viewed through the transparent portion of the insulated panel assembly 104.
Display case door 100 can include a single electronic display 110 or multiple electronic displays. For example, display case door 100 can include two or more electronic displays 110 vertically stacked and together covering the insulated panel assembly 104.
Electronic display 110 can include, but is not limited to, a liquid crystal display (LCD), a light emitting diode (LED) display, an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display, a field emission display (FED), a plasma display panel (PDP), or an electroluminescent (EL) display. For example, electronic display 110 can be a smart television with streaming capabilities for receiving content over a wireless network (e.g., a Wi-Fi network). Electronic display 110 is generally opaque and, when mounted on the display case door 100 partially or completely obstructs the view through the insulated panel assembly 104. In some implementations, electronic display 110 can be a custom sized display configured to correspond with dimensions of the display case door 100. In some implementations, electronic display 110 can be a commercial off the shelf (COTS) display.
Electronic display assembly 102 includes electronic display 110, left side hinge brackets 112, right side brackets 114, and hangers 116. Left side hinge brackets 112 are attached to electronic display 110 along the left side of electronic display 110. Right side brackets 114 are attached to electronic display 110 along the right side of electronic display 110. Each of left side hinge brackets 112 and right side brackets 114 is secured to a corresponding one of mounting blocks 108 by way of screws 113 and screws 115, respectively. Door frame 106 includes top rail 120 and side rails 122. Electronic display assembly 102 is mounted on mounting blocks 108 on the left side rail 122 of door frame 106 and mounting blocks 108 on the right side rail 122 of door frame 106. Each of hangers 116 can be coupled on a corresponding one of display supports 118.
In the example shown in
Display case door 100 includes handle 130. Electronic display assembly 102 includes circuitry module 132, top sensor 134, and handle-side sensor 136. The outside edges of circuitry module 132 are secured to left bezel 124 and right bezel 128. Top sensor 134 passes through an opening or cutout in top bezel 126. Handle-side sensor 136 is accessible through a corresponding aperture in right bezel 128.
Hold open bracket 138 is provided on a top edge of display case door 100. One end of hold open bracket 138 is pivotally coupled to door frame 106. In service, hold open bracket 138 can be used to maintain door in a desired open position.
Circuitry module 132 is positioned in a bottom portion of door frame 106. Circuitry module 132 overlays a portion of insulated panel assembly 104. Circuitry module 132 can be attached to electronic display 110 such that, with electronic display 110 releasably coupled to door frame 106, circuitry module 132 is releasably coupled to door frame 106. Circuitry module 132 can include a media player in electronic communication with electronic display 110 to control media content presented on electronic display 110.
In the example shown in
In some implementations, one or more of the mounting blocks serve as a spacer plates. The mounting blocks can define a position of the electronic display relative to a door frame.
Along the top edge of electronic display 110, hangers 116 are coupled on display supports 118. In the example shown in
Display supports 118 include support plate 164 and locating pins 166. Locating pins 166 can pass through slots 160. Display supports 118 are fastened to upper rim 168 of insulated panel assembly 104.
In some implementations, hangers 116 are used to initially support electronic display assembly 102 such that the brackets on either side of electronic display assembly 102 are aligned with corresponding mounting blocks. In this context, aligning the brackets with the mounting blocks 108 includes aligning corresponding features of the brackets and mounting blocks so that one or more fasteners can be installed to secure the electronic display assembly.
Once some or all of the fasteners are installed to secure the brackets of electronic display assembly 102 to corresponding mounting blocks 108, the hangers 116 may no longer be needed to support the electronic display. Thus, in some implementations, hangers 116 serve as an interim support during installation of the electronic display on mounting blocks on the sides of the electronic display. Hangers 116 can be removed after installation of electronic display assembly 102, and re-installed as needed to remove electronic display assembly 102 at a later time. Hangers 116 and display supports 118 are described in more detail later in reference to
Inner rim 174 includes bosses 180. Mounting block 108 is secured to rail 170 at bosses 180 by way of fasteners 142. In the example shown in
In some implementations, a side rail of a door frame includes captive nuts at each spacer plate fastener location. Each captive nut can receive a corresponding fastener (e.g., fastener 142). Bosses 180 can be omitted.
In the implementation shown in
Slots 192 allow for fasteners 142 to pass through for securing mounting block 108 to door frame 106. In one example, mounting blocks 108 are mounted to a door rails glass mount rib. Screws 113 can be installed in mounting holes 194 of mounting blocks 108 to secure each of left side hinge brackets 112 to mounting blocks 108. (In a similar manner, screws 115 can be installed in mounting holes 194 of mounting blocks 108 to secure each of right side brackets 114 to mounting blocks 108.) In some implementations, a mounting includes clearance holes instead of slots 192.
In certain implementations, the internally threaded holes are the form of threaded inserts installed in body 190. In some implementations, the internally threaded holes are tapped holes in body 190. In the example shown in
In the example shown in
To produce electronic display assembly 102, left side hinge brackets 112 are attached to electronic display 110 by installing fasteners 152 through mounting holes 216, and right side brackets 114 are attached to electronic display 110 by installing fasteners 154 through mounting holes 234. Hangers 116 are attached at the top edge of electronic display 110.
In some implementations, mounting hardware installed in door frames accommodates an electronic display of a given size in door frames of different widths and different heights. For example, a system for mounting electronic displays in display case doors can include a set of mounting blocks of different sizes. Each mounting block can serve as a spacer plate that defines the spacing of the electronic display relative to the door frame. The mounting blocks can span a gap between an electronic display assembly and the door frame in which the electronic display assembly is installed. In some implementations, each size of mounting block can accommodate an electronic display of a given size for two or more different size door frames.
In some implementations, the mounting blocks span an inner portion of the door frame and the exterior edge of the electronic display to be installed in the door frame. The mounting blocks define a spacing of the electronic display relative to the door frame. The mounting features of each of the mounting blocks can be aligned with corresponding mounting features of a corresponding bracket on the electronic display assembly. For example, through holes in each bracket of an electronic display assembly can be aligned with corresponding threaded holes in a mounting block. Once the mounting features of the brackets and corresponding mounting blocks are aligned, fasteners can be installed to secure the electronic display assembly to the door frame.
In various examples described herein, an electronic display is centered in a door frame by installing mounting blocks of equal length on either side of the display. In other implementations, the spacer plates on the left and right sides can be of different lengths. In certain implementations, a system can include spacer plates on only one side or the other of an electronic display.
In some implementations, all of the mounting blocks in the set (e.g., mounting blocks 108a, 108b, and 108c) are all produced from the same extruded material. Each size of mounting block can be cut to length for the door installation on which it will be used (e.g., based on the spacing between a door frame and the electronic display to be installed in the door frame). In one example, the extruded stock is aluminum. In certain implementations, spacer plates are machined from bar stock.
In some implementations, mounting blocks and support plates are selected to accommodate an electronic display of a given size. Mounting blocks can be selected so that the electronic display is centered horizontally. Display supports can be selected so that mounting brackets on the electronic display are vertically aligned with the mounting blocks on the door frame when the electronic display is hung on the display supports. In this manner, an electronic display of a given size can be installed in doors of several different sizes.
In some implementations, display supports of on a door frame support an electronic display such that the electronic display mounting features of the electronic display vertically align with corresponding mounting features on a door frame when the electronic display is hung on the display supports. In some examples, the length of support brackets and/or the installed height of a locating pin are selected such that mounting blocks on the door frame vertically align with brackets on the electronic display when an electronic display is supported on locating pins of the display supports.
In one example, a system include one 64 inch LCD screen that fits door widths that span 26⅜ inches to 30⅞ inches and heights from 69 1/16 inches to 71 1/16 inches. The hinges and brackets are common through the various door sizes. A common space profile can be extruded and cut to length to span the appropriate gap for each installation. In each installation, bezels mount to the door surface, overlap the gap, extend over the screen, and align to the screen's active area perimeter.
In certain implementations, the size of mounting blocks in door system can be selected to accommodate different sizes of an electronic display for a given size door frame. For example, for a given door frame size, opposing left and right pairs of mounting blocks 108b shown in
In some implementations, an electronic display assembly is initially supported on support elements using hangers on the electronic display assembly. While the electronic display assembly is supported on the hangers, the electronic display assembly is fastened to mounting blocks extending from the door frame. In some cases, the position of the electronic display assembly is adjusted while the electronic display assembly is hanging so that mounting features on the electronic display assembly align with corresponding mounting features on the mounting blocks and/or door frame.

In certain implementations, an electronic display assembly is removed from an insulated panel assembly by removing the pins from hinge brackets that couple the electronic display assembly to the insulated panel assembly. For example, hinge pins 210 (shown in
With the electronic display 110 removed from the insulated panel assembly 104, service can be performed on the electronic display. Once service has been completed, the electronic display 110 can be repositioned such that the knuckles on the hinge components of the left side hinge bracket are realigned with one another. With the knuckles realigned, hinge pins 210 can be reinstalled and screws 115 retightened or replaced to once again secure the electronic display assembly 102 in the door frame.
Referring back to
In various implementations, door frame 106 has a width and thickness that allows display case door 100 to be installed and operated in an existing refrigerated display case without the need of retrofitting the display case. The display case door 100 can be operated with or without electronic display 110.
In certain implementations, electronic display 110 can be secured to door frame 106 by a latch assembly. For example, one or more of right side brackets 114 can include a latch member that couples with a complementary latch member on mounting block 108 that allows the right side of electronic display assembly 102 to be selectively latched and released from mounting blocks 108.
Similar to the display case door shown in
Circuitry module 526 can include one or more quick disconnect plugs 535. A quick disconnect plug 535 is attached to the first end of a control cable. Quick disconnect plug 535 is also attached to a power cable 529. Quick disconnect plug 535 can include a power, audio, visual, or ground wire.

In other implementations, the hinge bracket can be included on the right side of an electronic display. In still other implementations, a system can include only angle brackets (e.g., with both left and right sides having brackets similar to right side brackets 114), without any hinge brackets. In certain implementations, a system can include brackets on only one side, or include no brackets.
In various implementations described above, mounting blocks for an electronic display are in the form of a plate. Other forms of mounting blocks can be used, however. Other examples of mounting blocks include a bar, a rod, a tube, an angle, or channel.
In various implementations described above, an electronic display assembly includes hangers that be used to support an electronic display a door frame while the electronic display assembly is fastened to a door frame. In other implementations, an electronic display can be supported with other components. For example, a door frame can include a shelf on which an electronic display assembly can be rested while the electronic display assembly is fastened to the door frame (e.g., on a set of mounting blocks such as described above relative to
The electronic display assembly 102 is coupled to the door frame 106 by the hangers 116, which can also be referred to as a hanger bracket 116, and the display supports 118, which can also be referred to as a support plate 118. The hanger bracket 116 is coupled to electronic display assembly 102 and the support plate 118 is coupled the door frame 106. The hanger bracket 116 couples to the support plate 118 to hang the electronic display assembly 102 in the door frame 106.
The display case door 1700 can include multiple hanger brackets 116 and support plates 118 to hang the electronic display assembly 102 in the door frame 106. The multiple hanger brackets 116 and support plates 118 can be arranged in sets 1704 or pairs. The sets 1704 of hanger brackets 116 and support plates 118 can be horizontally spaced from one another along the top rail 120 of the door frame 106.
The support plate 118 is coupled to the top rail 120 of the door frame 106. The support plate 118 has at least one pin 166, also previously referred to as locating pin 166 in reference to
The pin 166 can include an outer rim 1706 on an end 1708 of the pin 166. The outer rim 1706 couples to a portion 1710 of a surface 1712 of the hanger bracket 116.
The display case door 1700 can include a fastener 1718 to couple to the pin 166, locking or securing the hanger bracket 116 to the support plate 118. For example, the fastener 1718 can be a bolt, a snap ring, a hair pin, a safety pin, a grip pin, a positive lock pin, a detent pin, a hitch pin, a lynch pin, a bridge pin, a e-clips, a snap rings, an x-ring, a housing ring, a round wire ring, a square wire ring, a rectangular wire ring, a grip ring, a o-ring, a palnut push-on, a self-locking threaded nut, or a cotter pin.
The pin 166 of the support plate 118 has an outer dimension 1740. For example, the outer dimension 1740 of the pin 166 can be ¼ inch, ⅜ inch, 5/16 inch, or ½ inch. The hanger bracket has slots 160 described in more detail below. The slots 160 have an inner dimension 1742. For example, the inner dimension 1742 of the slot 160 can be ¼ inch, ⅜ inch, 5/16 inch, or ½ inch. In some cases, the outer dimension 1740 of the pin 166 is less than the inner dimension 1742 of the slot 160.
The support plate 118 has voids 1714 through which fasteners 1716 pass to couple the support plate 118 to the top rail 120. The fasteners 1716 can be screws, bolts, rivets, or another type of fastener.
The hanger brackets 116 are coupled to the top surface 1720 of the electronic display assembly 102 to at least partially support the electronic display assembly 102 in the door frame 103 by the support plate 118. The hanger brackets 116 have slots 160 which are sized to accept the pin 166. The pin 166 of the support plate 118 passes through the slot 160 of the hanger bracket 116 to position the electronic display assembly 102 relative to the door frame 106. An inner surface 1722 of the slot 160 is coupled to an outer surface 1724 of the pin 166 to hang the electronic display assembly 102 relative to the door frame 106.
