Definitions
- the Invention pertains to a collapsible display fixture for use in retail sales. More particularly, the invention pertains to a collapsing retail display fixture that allows the display to be folded down to reduce shipping and storage size, and allows for the attachment of shelves, hooks, pegs and other display accessories while retaining a high degree of stability and support.
- Known display racks generally provide little or no collapsing capabilities, or do so using complicated, multi-part or multi-hinged mechanisms that are expensive, prone to failure or are difficult to use.
- Retail fixtures are often moved, stored, shipped and displayed in seasonal cycles. Furthermore, some retail contexts require such displays to be erected and removed on short notice, such as “pop-up” stores, or temporary locations. It is therefore desirable to have a fixture that is easily and quickly folded and stored, but retains stability and the ability to accept accessories common to standard, non-collapsing fixtures.
- Retail fixtures comprise large, bulky metal racks meant to support sale items and accept modular shelving, pegs, hooks and other display accessories. They are used in retail stores for the display of articles and accessories. Such retail stores are often being opened and closed, and even while in operation, regularly re-arrange the layout of the stores due to seasonal marketing cycles. However, storage and shipment of these large, bulky display fixtures costs retailers significant money, and can be prohibitive if they cannot be efficiently stored.
- a benefit of the subject invention is a collapsing retail fixture that allows the fixture to be quickly and easily collapsed for more efficient storage than a non-collapsing fixture.
- a further benefit of the subject invention is a hinge for such collapsing retail fixtures that allows the vertical support members to fold down such that they do not collide with one another. This allows the fixture to collapse more efficiently and retain the integrity of the support racks by avoiding the addition of hinges or clasps or telescoping elements to the supports which can impact the stability of the supports.
- a still further benefit of the subject invention is a vertical structure for the ends of the fixture containing an integrated peg system, allowing for the attachment of shelves, peg hooks and other retail display accessories.
- the subject invention comprises a collapsible retail display fixture that includes vertical support posts attached to the base using angled hinges or rotating hinges such that the support posts may be folded down without intersecting or contacting one another.
- These vertical support posts support a horizontal cross bar and vertical display panels using an integrated peg system used to attach shelves, hooks, pegs and other display accessories.

- FIGS. 1 and 2 there is shown vertical support posts 10 supporting a horizontal crossbar 20 .
- the vertical support posts 10 are pivotally anchored to the base 30 using hinges 40 that are either immovably fixed to the base 30 (See FIG. 13 ) and have axes of rotation 41 at an angle of 2-6 degrees to the plane of the base 30 or in a second embodiment, rotatably affixed to the base 30 (See FIG. 15 ).
- Removably attached to the vertical support posts 10 are vertical display panels 50 with vertical slots 51 cut into the vertical display panels providing access to the internal peg system 60 .
- This vertical display panel 50 may be either a solid piece of material, or a laminated structure.
- a retention lever 88 with a first end 89 b is rotatably affixed to a first side of the hinge 85 and a second end that engages with a latching pin 89 a attached to a second side of the hinge 85 .
- a tightening knob 87 which by means of a threaded screw body extending through the retention lever 88 can be rotated to engage with the vertical display post 10 in order to increase stability while vertical.
- the tightening knob 87 can be loosened to disengage it from the vertical display post 10 , and the retention lever 88 may be rotated out of the way. While the vertical support posts 10 are in the collapsed position, the retention lever may either be left in the closed position, see FIG. 11 , or in the open position, see FIG. 12 .
- the crossbar 20 in FIG. 1 spans the distance from one vertical support post 10 to the other vertical support post 10 .
- the vertical support posts 10 can be collapsed to save space during storage or shipping.
- the hinge 40 is immovably affixed to the base 30 .
- This hinge 40 has an axis of rotation 41 , see FIG. 13 , set at a 2-6 degree angle, and preferably a 3 degree angle, to the horizontal such that when the vertical support posts 10 are folded down, they do so such that they do not collide or otherwise make contact. See FIGS. 4 and 13 .
- the hinge 80 rotates such that when the vertical support posts 10 are folded down, they do not collide or otherwise make contact. See FIG. 16 .
- the axis of rotation 81 see FIGS. 14 b and 16 , about which the vertical support posts 10 rotate into a collapsed position in a plane parallel to fixture's base 30 . See FIGS. 14 b and 16 .
- the hinge 80 is attached to the base 30 around a central vertical axis 82 around which the hinge 80 and attached vertical support post 10 rotate.
- the retractable spring plunger 83 may be actuated from above the hinge base 84 such that it may be raised and lowered. In the lowered position, the retractable spring plunger 83 extends through the hinge base 84 and partially into the base 30 into one of two engagement holes 86 .
- the hinge 80 and attached vertical display post 10 may be rotated only when the retractable spring plunger 83 is lifted, and may not be rotated when the retractable spring plunger is deposited into one of the two engagement holes 86 .
- engagement holes 86 are positioned such that if the retractable spring plunger 83 is placed into the first engagement hole 86 , the vertical support post 10 attached thereto would fold down directly towards the other and collide.
- the hinge 80 may be rotated 4-6 degrees, and in a preferred embodiment, 5 degrees, when the retractable spring plunger 83 is lifted, such that the retractable spring plunger 83 may be deposited in the second engagement hole 86 .
- the vertical display posts 10 may be rotated downwards so that they are parallel to one another and in a parallel plane above the plane of the base 30 . They do not collide, however, because the rotation of said hinges 80 causes the folded vertical display posts 10 to also rotate the same amount. See FIG. 16 .
- the vertical support posts 10 support the vertical display panels 50 .
- the bottom edge of the vertical display panel 50 bears one or more anchor posts 54 .
- These anchor posts 54 engage into corresponding holes in the fixture base 30 in order to anchor the bottom edge 55 of the vertical display panels 50 to the fixture base 30 .
- These vertical display panels have vertical bracket channels 51 that allow external access to the internal peg support system 60 .
- These vertical support panels may be in one of at least two embodiments.
- the panel 50 may be a laminated combination of two layer-panels 52 that allow the peg system 60 to be located completely within the vertical display panel 50 .
- the vertical display panels 50 have vertical channels 51 cut into the panels allowing access to the internal peg system 60 .
- the peg system 60 consists of two vertical connecting plates 61 . These vertical connecting plates 60 have periodically spaced holes 63 .
- the pegs 62 which share a substantially similar circumference as the holes 63 in the vertical connecting plates 60 are inserted into the holes 63 in two vertical connecting plates 60 and extend an equal distance on either side of these plates creating a ladder-like structure.
- the distance between the vertical connecting plates 61 is the same as the width of the vertical channels 51 cut into the vertical layer-panels 52 .
- Perpendicular to the vertical channels 51 are horizontal channels 53 that allow the insertion of the pegs 62 such that when the two layer-panels 52 are pressed together, the pegs 62 reside inside these channels 53 , the vertical connecting plates reside in the vertical channel 51 such that the layer-panels 52 are pressed together with no space in between, and the peg system 60 is accessible from the exterior.
- the vertical display panels 50 may be a solid piece of material with a vertical channel 57 cut through the panel 50 allowing access to the integrated pin system 70 .
- This integrated pin system consists of a vertical support bracket 71 and internal pins 72 .
- the vertical support bracket consists of a long piece of metal with a square bend 73 in it that fits snugly within the vertical channel 57 in the vertical display panel 50 .
- Within this square bend 73 are periodic pins 72 that are wholly contained within the square bend 73 and are positioned perpendicular to the path of the square bend 73 and parallel to the base 30 .
- the crossbar 20 consists of three components: the central segment 22 and two endcaps 21 . See FIG. 17 .
- the central segment 22 is substantially the same length as the distance between the two vertical display posts 10 .

Abstract
Description
- The Invention pertains to a collapsible display fixture for use in retail sales. More particularly, the invention pertains to a collapsing retail display fixture that allows the display to be folded down to reduce shipping and storage size, and allows for the attachment of shelves, hooks, pegs and other display accessories while retaining a high degree of stability and support.
- Known display racks generally provide little or no collapsing capabilities, or do so using complicated, multi-part or multi-hinged mechanisms that are expensive, prone to failure or are difficult to use. Retail fixtures are often moved, stored, shipped and displayed in seasonal cycles. Furthermore, some retail contexts require such displays to be erected and removed on short notice, such as “pop-up” stores, or temporary locations. It is therefore desirable to have a fixture that is easily and quickly folded and stored, but retains stability and the ability to accept accessories common to standard, non-collapsing fixtures.
- Retail fixtures comprise large, bulky metal racks meant to support sale items and accept modular shelving, pegs, hooks and other display accessories. They are used in retail stores for the display of articles and accessories. Such retail stores are often being opened and closed, and even while in operation, regularly re-arrange the layout of the stores due to seasonal marketing cycles. However, storage and shipment of these large, bulky display fixtures costs retailers significant money, and can be prohibitive if they cannot be efficiently stored.
- The simplest way to collapse such a fixture is to fold down any vertical components. However, because these fixtures are symmetrical, any vertical components are prone to collide when folded.
- Existing display fixtures avoid this problem using complicated telescoping mechanisms, a multitude of hinges placed in the middle of various support members, or which come apart entirely. These solutions are not ideal because they either decrease the stability of the assembled fixture or result in loose pieces which are easily lost.
- Accordingly, there is a need for a retail display fixture that can be easily moved and stored, while retaining the ability to accept accessory display attachments such as shelves, hooks, pegs and other similar methods of displaying merchandise.
- Thus, a benefit of the subject invention is a collapsing retail fixture that allows the fixture to be quickly and easily collapsed for more efficient storage than a non-collapsing fixture.
- A further benefit of the subject invention is a hinge for such collapsing retail fixtures that allows the vertical support members to fold down such that they do not collide with one another. This allows the fixture to collapse more efficiently and retain the integrity of the support racks by avoiding the addition of hinges or clasps or telescoping elements to the supports which can impact the stability of the supports.
- A still further benefit of the subject invention is a vertical structure for the ends of the fixture containing an integrated peg system, allowing for the attachment of shelves, peg hooks and other retail display accessories.
- The subject invention comprises a collapsible retail display fixture that includes vertical support posts attached to the base using angled hinges or rotating hinges such that the support posts may be folded down without intersecting or contacting one another. These vertical support posts support a horizontal cross bar and vertical display panels using an integrated peg system used to attach shelves, hooks, pegs and other display accessories. The fixture also includes a horizontal crossbar for hanging clothes and other retail items.
- These and other benefits, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following description and accompanying figures illustrating the preferred embodiment of the subject invention.

FIGS. 1 and 2 , there is shownvertical support posts 10 supporting ahorizontal crossbar 20. Thevertical support posts 10 are pivotally anchored to thebase 30 usinghinges 40 that are either immovably fixed to the base 30 (SeeFIG. 13 ) and have axes ofrotation 41 at an angle of 2-6 degrees to the plane of thebase 30 or in a second embodiment, rotatably affixed to the base 30 (SeeFIG. 15 ). Removably attached to thevertical support posts 10 arevertical display panels 50 withvertical slots 51 cut into the vertical display panels providing access to theinternal peg system 60. Thisvertical display panel 50 may be either a solid piece of material, or a laminated structure. When thevertical support posts 10 are folded down, they rest upon the top of thebase 30 and are parallel to the plane of saidbase 30 but do not intersect with or contact one another. - When the
vertical support posts 10 are in the vertical position, seeFIG. 11 , aretention lever 88 with afirst end 89 b is rotatably affixed to a first side of thehinge 85 and a second end that engages with alatching pin 89 a attached to a second side of thehinge 85. Located substantially in the middle of theretention lever 88 is a tighteningknob 87 which by means of a threaded screw body extending through theretention lever 88 can be rotated to engage with thevertical display post 10 in order to increase stability while vertical. - When the
vertical support posts 10 are in the lowered position, seeFIG. 12 , thetightening knob 87 can be loosened to disengage it from thevertical display post 10, and theretention lever 88 may be rotated out of the way. While thevertical support posts 10 are in the collapsed position, the retention lever may either be left in the closed position, seeFIG. 11 , or in the open position, seeFIG. 12 . - The
crossbar 20 inFIG. 1 spans the distance from onevertical support post 10 to the othervertical support post 10. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , thevertical support posts 10, can be collapsed to save space during storage or shipping. In one embodiment of the invention, thehinge 40 is immovably affixed to thebase 30. Thishinge 40 has an axis ofrotation 41, seeFIG. 13 , set at a 2-6 degree angle, and preferably a 3 degree angle, to the horizontal such that when thevertical support posts 10 are folded down, they do so such that they do not collide or otherwise make contact. SeeFIGS. 4 and 13 . - In an alternative embodiment of the invention, shown in
FIGS. 15, 14 a and 14 b, thehinge 80 rotates such that when the vertical support posts 10 are folded down, they do not collide or otherwise make contact. SeeFIG. 16 . In this embodiment, the axis ofrotation 81, seeFIGS. 14b and 16, about which the vertical support posts 10 rotate into a collapsed position in a plane parallel to fixture'sbase 30. SeeFIGS. 14b and 16. Thehinge 80 is attached to thebase 30 around a centralvertical axis 82 around which thehinge 80 and attachedvertical support post 10 rotate. The portion of thehinge 80 which makes contact to thebase 30 and through which thevertical axis 82 anchors, here referred to as thehinge base 84, extends by a greater amount to one side of thehinge body 85, and has integrated aretractable spring plunger 83. Theretractable spring plunger 83 may be actuated from above thehinge base 84 such that it may be raised and lowered. In the lowered position, theretractable spring plunger 83 extends through thehinge base 84 and partially into the base 30 into one of two engagement holes 86. Thehinge 80 and attachedvertical display post 10 may be rotated only when theretractable spring plunger 83 is lifted, and may not be rotated when the retractable spring plunger is deposited into one of the two engagement holes 86. - These engagement holes 86 are positioned such that if the
retractable spring plunger 83 is placed into thefirst engagement hole 86, thevertical support post 10 attached thereto would fold down directly towards the other and collide. When the vertical display posts 10 are in the vertical position, the invention would be used for displaying merchandise, and allows for the proper attachment of thecrossbar 20. Thehinge 80 may be rotated 4-6 degrees, and in a preferred embodiment, 5 degrees, when theretractable spring plunger 83 is lifted, such that theretractable spring plunger 83 may be deposited in thesecond engagement hole 86. In this position, the vertical display posts 10 may be rotated downwards so that they are parallel to one another and in a parallel plane above the plane of thebase 30. They do not collide, however, because the rotation of said hinges 80 causes the folded vertical display posts 10 to also rotate the same amount. SeeFIG. 16 . - The vertical support posts 10 support the
vertical display panels 50. The bottom edge of thevertical display panel 50 bears one or more anchor posts 54. These anchor posts 54 engage into corresponding holes in thefixture base 30 in order to anchor the bottom edge 55 of thevertical display panels 50 to thefixture base 30. - These vertical display panels have
vertical bracket channels 51 that allow external access to the internalpeg support system 60. These vertical support panels may be in one of at least two embodiments. - In the first embodiment shown in
FIG. 6 , thepanel 50 may be a laminated combination of two layer-panels 52 that allow thepeg system 60 to be located completely within thevertical display panel 50. Thevertical display panels 50 havevertical channels 51 cut into the panels allowing access to theinternal peg system 60. In this embodiment, thepeg system 60 consists of two vertical connectingplates 61. These vertical connectingplates 60 have periodically spaced holes 63. Thepegs 62, which share a substantially similar circumference as theholes 63 in the vertical connectingplates 60 are inserted into theholes 63 in two vertical connectingplates 60 and extend an equal distance on either side of these plates creating a ladder-like structure. The distance between the vertical connectingplates 61 is the same as the width of thevertical channels 51 cut into the vertical layer-panels 52. Perpendicular to thevertical channels 51 arehorizontal channels 53 that allow the insertion of thepegs 62 such that when the two layer-panels 52 are pressed together, thepegs 62 reside inside thesechannels 53, the vertical connecting plates reside in thevertical channel 51 such that the layer-panels 52 are pressed together with no space in between, and thepeg system 60 is accessible from the exterior. - In a second embodiment, the
vertical display panels 50 may be a solid piece of material with avertical channel 57 cut through thepanel 50 allowing access to theintegrated pin system 70. This integrated pin system consists of avertical support bracket 71 andinternal pins 72. The vertical support bracket consists of a long piece of metal with asquare bend 73 in it that fits snugly within thevertical channel 57 in thevertical display panel 50. Within thissquare bend 73 areperiodic pins 72 that are wholly contained within thesquare bend 73 and are positioned perpendicular to the path of thesquare bend 73 and parallel to thebase 30. - The
crossbar 20 consists of three components: thecentral segment 22 and twoendcaps 21. SeeFIG. 17 . Referring toFIGS. 9 and 10 , thecentral segment 22 is substantially the same length as the distance between the two vertical display posts 10. Eachend 21 of thecentral segment 20 has an opening in the center providing access to a threadedtunnel 23 sharing a central axis with thecentral segment 22. Theendcap 21 has acap 26 on the first end and a threadedbolt body 25 extending from its immovable attachment to the interior face of thecap 26 to substantially past the end of the body of theendcap 21. Thevertical support post 10 has ahead 11 on the end opposite the hinge, 40 or 80, containing a substantiallyround passage 24 through which the threadedbolt body 25 may pass. Thispassage 24 is located in the center of indentations on either side of thehead 11 that reflect the shape of thecentral segment 22 andendcap 21, which are identical. This indentation allows the central segment andendcap 21 to fit securely within theseindentations 27 such that once inserted neither the central segment nor the endcap can be rotated. - The
crossbar 20 may be assembled as part of the invention as follows. SeeFIGS. 9 and 10 . Thecentral segment 22 is engaged to thehead 11 of thevertical support post 10 such that the threadedtunnel 23 aligns with thepassage 24 in thehead 11 of thevertical support post 10. Theendcap 21 is then engaged to thehead 11 of thevertical support post 10 such that the threadedbolt body 25 passes through thepassage 24 and into the corresponding threadedtunnel 23. Thecap 26, which is attached immovably to the threadedbolt body 25 may then be rotated in order to engage the threadedbolt body 25 with the corresponding threadedtunnel 23, securing theendcap 21, thehead 11 andvertical support post 10 to thecentral segment 22. - A first embodiment of the crossbar, including the
central segment 22 andendcaps 21, has a substantially square cross-section. Thecentral segment 22 andendcaps 21 may be engaged with thehead 11 of the vertical support posts 10 in one of two modes. The first mode is in which a corner edge of thecentral segment 22 andendcaps 21 is facing upwards, while in the second mode, the entirety of thecrossbar 10 is rotated 45 degrees such that a flat edge of thecentral segment 22 andendcaps 21 is facing upward. - A second embodiment of the crossbar, including the
central segment 22 andendcaps 21, has a substantially round cross-section. Though this round cross-section differs from the first embodiment described above, nonew head 11 for the vertical support posts 10, is required. - The
vertical display panels 50 are attached to the vertical support posts 10 using a mountingbracket 90. SeeFIGS. 1 and 18 . The mountingbracket 90 is attached to the back of thevertical display panel 50 near the top and centered. The mountingbracket 90 comprises a single piece of substantially rectangular material, preferably metal or plastic that support the weight of thevertical display panel 50, with dimensions substantially three times as long as high. This material has two right-angle bends creating a c-shapedbracket 90. The interior area of this bracket after bends are added is substantially the same as the cross sectional area of the vertical support posts 10. One end of thisbracket 90 contains anotch 91 the mouth of said notch opening on one of the long sides of thebracket 90. - The
vertical display panel 50, bearing mountingbracket 90, is attached to the vertical display posts 10 by inserting thevertical display post 10 into the opening of thebracket 90. Theopening 91 in thebracket 90 is then lowered onto the hangingpeg 12 on the face of thevertical display post 10 that faces the opposingvertical display post 10. This allows thevertical display panel 50 to hang securely and substantially upright and substantially parallel to thevertical display post 10. - It will be understood that the forgoing description is of preferred exemplary embodiments of the invention and that the invention is not limited to the specific forms shown or described herein. Various modifications may be made in the design, arrangement, and type of elements disclosed herein, as well as the steps of making and using the invention without departing from the scope of the invention as expressed in the appended claims.
