A sidewall panel of a barrel cooler has a sidewall panel body forming a first vertical edge and a second vertical edge. The sidewall panel has a latch arm protruding from the first vertical edge of the sidewall panel body, wherein the latch arm is adapted to cooperatively connect with a latch box of a first adjacent sidewall panel of the barrel cooler. The sidewall panel also has a latch box flush along the second vertical edge of the sidewall panel body, wherein the latch box is adapted to cooperatively connect with a latch arm of a second adjacent sidewall panel of the barrel cooler. The sidewall panel may be included in a system of parts that are adapted to cooperatively couple together to form a barrel cooler. The sidewall panel may also be included in an assembled barrel cooler.

Barrel cooler with components assembleable on site

A dispenser for storing and dispensing containers having one or more passageways that provides a pathway for the containers. The dispenser includes an outlet for dispensing the containers and an inlet or opening for loading containers into the dispenser. The dispenser may include a plurality of shelves stackable on top of each other. The dispenser may include a housing and a moveable door. The dispenser may further include a stopper mechanism for blocking the movement of the containers within the passageway.

Bottle display and dispenser device and method

A dispenser for storing and dispensing containers has a housing with an inlet opening for loading containers into the dispenser, and an outlet opening for dispensing containers. The dispenser has a passageway connecting the inlet opening to the outlet opening that includes at least one inclined ramp that the containers roll along. The dispenser has a loading mechanism positioned adjacent the inlet opening that is aligned relative to the passageway. The loading mechanism has a contact surface for receiving a container to be loaded into the passageway and maintains the container in a predetermined alignment with the passageway. Movement of the loading mechanism causes the contact surface to urge the container towards the passageway while substantially maintaining alignment of the container with the passageway.

A shelf device for a cooler has a pair of front uprights and a pair of rear uprights. A shelf is attached to uprights is adapted to hold beverage containers in an upright position. Left and right edge portions of the shelf are disposed behind the front uprights and a front edge portion of the shelf is disposed between the front uprights. Left and right guide panels respectively extend from the left and right edge portions toward the front edge portion creating channels for guiding containers from behind the posts for removal.

Shelf for maximizing cold vault use

A display device for mounting on an inside surface of a cooler door has a mounting bracket for attaching to the cooler door, a top tube mounted on the first mounting bracket, and a bottom tube mounted on the first mounting bracket below the top tube. A display scroll is entrained about the top and bottom tubes so that the scroll is visible through the cooler door. As the scroll is rotated about the tubes, a display graphic on the scroll moves to attract the attention of potential consumers.

A merchandising display shelf track device for receiving a row of articles for sliding movement therealong has non-planar front face members connected to a base wall and sidewalls. Racking forces exerted on the front face members are transferred through the non-planar face members to the base wall and sidewalls to minimize racking. An anti-torsion bar connects the front face members to prevent spreading of the sidewalls and thereby minimize racking.

A lid for a cold box has a shell-like configuration with front and rear shell members hingedly connected. The front shell member pivots relative to the rear shell member to provide access to the interior of the cold box when the front shell member is lifted by a handle. A viewing window is provided in the front shell member. The rear shell member is vented to provide passageways for the intake and outtake of air.

An elongate display track device has one or more intermediate sections, a front section with a front piece and product identification panels, and a rear section with a stop member. The sections are frangibly connected to alter the length of the track device. The sections are releasably connected by keys and keyways. The length is changed by removing one or more intermediate sections, then re-attaching the rear section to provide the stop member. The front piece provides a surface along its bottom for a product identification label. Arms upstanding from the front track section support a panel which provides a surface for product identification.

Merchandising display track device

A merchandising display shelf track device for receiving a row of articles for sliding movement therealong has non-planar front face members connected to a base wall and top stop members. Racking forces exerted on the top stop members are transferred through the non-planar face members to the base wall to minimize racking.

Display track device with front panels and top stop members

A merchandising display shelf track device for receiving a row of articles for sliding movement therealong has non-planar front face members connected to a base wall and top stop members. Racking forces exerted on the top stop members and front face members are transferred through the non-planar face members to the base wall to minimize racking.

Display track device with anti-torsion front cylinder

A merchandising display shelf track device for receiving a row of articles for sliding movement therealong has a front track segment, a riser panel and a number of ribs. The front track segment has a base wall with a front portion and a rear portion. The riser panel is upstanding from the front portion of the base wall. The ribs are upstanding from the base wall and are attached to the riser panel. The top surface of the ribs is inclined at the front so that a bottle sliding along the track has its direction changed so that the bottle does not tip over.

Merchandising display track device with bottle ramp

An elongate display track device has front and rear segments. The front segment has sidewalls with vertical channels therein to receive arm to support a product identification panel. A detent in each channel engages the scalloped surface of the bottom portion an arm to adjust the vertical position of the product identification panel. A foot is connected to the rear segment to elevate the rear of the track to assist gravity feed.

Inclined merchandising display track device

A beverage display rack provides a track on which beverage containers slide forward for dispensing. A rib on the track engages a groove in the beverage container. The groove has a predefined relationship with the label on the container so that the label faces forward when the rib engages the groove. The rib can be an upstanding rib which extends upward from the bottom of the track or can extend inward from the sidewall of the track toward the center of the display rack to engage a groove in the beverage container. Existing display racks can be retrofitted with an insert that fits in the track and has a protruding rib to engage the beverage container.
