Title:
PRODUCT DISPLAY AND DISPENSING SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002041731
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention provides a shelving system 5 comprising a gondola display having two rows of rear-loading shelves arranged back-to-back. In one row of shelves, the shelves are hingedly attached to the gondola display, thereby allowing the shelves to be rotated away from the gondola 20. This exposes both the rear of the rotated shelves 10 and the rear of the shelves located directly behind the rotated shelves, thereby allowing for easy rear-loading of product into both row of shelves at the same time. The present invention can also be used to allow for easy rear-loading of conventional gondola displays having a fixed base or bases 22. In such instances, a row of rotating shelf units, each having a retractable support wheel, is attached to one side of the conventional gondola. When these units are in their display position and when first rotated away from the gondola, the wheel 180 is in a retracted position so that it is in contact with and can be rolled along the top surface of the fixed base.
