A handle for a door. The handle includes a door mount that has a first end and a second end with a first mating feature, and a handle section that is coupled to the door mount by a fastener. The handle section has a second mating feature that is complementary to the first mating feature. The handle section is in a first state when the first mating feature and the second mating feature are engaged with each other, and the handle section is in a second state when the first mating feature and the second mating feature are at least partially disengaged from each other. In response to a force acting on the handle section, the handle section is movable from the first state to the second state.

Break-away door handle

A refrigerated merchandiser includes a case defining and separating a product display area from an ambient environment, the case having a frame defining one or more openings to the product display area. An upper track is connected to the case and extends at least partially along the frame. A first door and a second door are moveably connected to the upper track. The first door is configured to move between a closed positioned adjacent the frame and a first open position where the first door is positioned over the second door. The second door is configured to move between a closed positioned adjacent the frame and a second open position where the second door is positioned over the first door.

Merchandiser including track door system

A merchandiser including a case defining a product display area and having a base and a rear wall coupled to the base. The rear wall has a rear wall component that defines a channel. The case further includes a plurality of shoes partially disposed in the rear wall component within the channel and positioned below the base to support the case on a surface. Load-bearing foam insulation material is disposed in the channel and partially encloses the shoes. The shoes and the rear wall component are coupled together by the load-bearing foam insulation material.

Uni-body merchandiser

A shelf for a merchandiser. The shelf includes a skin that defines a support surface of the shelf, and a skeleton structure to which the skin is attached. The skeleton structure includes a first end bracket and a second end bracket that is spaced from and disposed opposite the first end bracket. The skeleton structure further includes an internal bracket that has a first end coupled to the first end bracket adjacent a rear end of the first end bracket, and a second end coupled to the second end bracket adjacent a rear end of the second end bracket. The internal bracket extends forward from the respective rear ends toward a front of the shelf.

Shelf structure for a merchandiser

A merchandiser includes a base and a rear wall component extending above the base. The rear wall component includes a protruding rib. Foam insulation material is disposed in the protruding rib. The rear wall component has a first wall panel and a second wall panel spaced from the first wall panel. The first and second wall panel cooperatively define an air passageway configured for containing an evaporator. The base and second wall panel at least partially define a product display area. A spray nozzle is disposed within the air passageway and configured to spray fluid onto the evaporator. A portion of tubing fluidly couples the spray nozzle to a supply of water. The portion of tubing is disposed within the foam insulation material.
