A modular display and dispensing assembly for the sale of items, includes a base adapted to be securely mounted to a substrate at a prescribed display and dispensing location on the substrate; and at least one display and dispensing module for mounting on the base, each display and dispensing module including a housing for mounting on the base, and a drawer for holding the items for sale, the drawer adapted to be removably positioned and secured in the housing for dispensing the items for sale while the drawer is secured in the housing, each drawer including a first lengthwise divider for varying at least one widthwise compartment size in the drawer and a second widthwise divider for varying at least one lengthwise compartment size in the drawer, for holding different size items for sale.

Modular display and dispensing system

A modular display and dispensing assembly and method distribute low-voltage power to a low-voltage electrical display feature at each of a plurality of display and dispensing modules arranged in a matrix and placed upon a substrate for display of items to be dispensed. A sub-base is secured to the substrate at a desired, prescribed display and dispensing location, while a main base is selectively coupled to and uncoupled from the sub-base. A plurality of electrical contact points in both the sub-base and main base enables the sub-base to remain securely mounted upon the substrate and connected to a source of low-voltage power while allowing selective uncoupling of the main base from the sub-base for ready removal of the matrix from the substrate for safe storage, without disturbing the secure placement of the sub-base at the desired prescribed display and dispensing location or the connection to the source of low-voltage power.

Stabilizer for displayed article of merchandise

Apparatus and method display articles of merchandise r aligned in a desired stable orientation for viewing and selection at a point-of-purchase. Each article includes a member of predetermined cross-sectional configuration extending between a working head and a terminal end of the article. The member is inserted between a pair of bowed, confronting resiliently deflectable stabilizing fingers coupled to a platform, with the member received within an aperture in each finger. At the same time, the terminal end of the article is inserted into a socket in the platform. The apertures are configured to retain the article between the fingers for displaying the article, thereby maintaining the article aligned in the stable desired orientation for viewing and selective release at the point-of-purchase.

Displaying articles of merchandise at a point-of-purchase

Stand for writing instruments

A light fixture is placed in an apparatus that displays and dispenses merchandise at a point-of-purchase located adjacent a display shelf. The apparatus includes a retainer plate that secures the apparatus to the display shelf. A light source is located in a receptacle having an arm that is extended beneath the retainer plate, between the retainer plate and the display shelf. A ridge on the arm extends upwardly into a groove in the retainer plate to lock the receptacle and, consequently, the light source in position to illuminate merchandise displayed along the display shelf.

Illuminating merchandise displayed at a display and dispensing apparatus

An apparatus and method for displaying and dispensing merchandise at a point-of-purchase adjacent a display shelf secures at least one divider to a retainer plate affixed to the display shelf. An elongate lock bar extends beneath the divider, along a predominant portion of the length of the divider, and is coupled with the divider for unbiased sliding movement to selectively engage or disengage teeth carried by the lock bar and complementary teeth placed on the retainer plate to secure the divider in a selected location along the retainer plate or release the divider for movement to another selected location.

Display and dispensing apparatus and method

A modular apparatus is erected from a kit of component parts to provide for displaying and dispensing selected merchandise at a point-of-purchase placed at a selected site. The merchandise is in the form of packages of selected dimensions to be arranged serially along the apparatus. The kit facilitates transport to the site and erection of the apparatus on-site to accommodate the packages of selected width. Adjustment of the apparatus to the dimensions of the packages is accomplished during erection of the apparatus at the selected site by movement of wall members of the apparatus into guiding juxtaposition with the packages. Rack and pawl arrangements integral with the wall members enable ease of assembly while attaining and maintaining accurate on-site adjustment.

Modular display and dispensing apparatus and method

A plurality of product dispensing frames, each having a left side wall, a right side wall, a front end, and a rear end, and including an upper support deck extending between the front end and the rear end, a lower support deck positioned below the upper support deck, the lower support deck extending between the front end and the rear end and defining a product display area, and a dispenser door pivotably connected between outermost dispenser frames to cover and enclose the upper support decks.
