Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Patent Application Ser. No. 60/639,894 titled "Display Device for Retail Goods" filed Dec. 29, 2004 and U.S. Patent Application Ser. No. 60/662,478 titled "Display Device for Retail Goods" filed Mar. 15, 2005, the entire contents of each of which are hereby incorporated by reference. BACKGROUND [0002] Retail product sales are driven by many factors. Product demand, quality, and pricing are some factors that contribute to retail product sales. Other factors may include product advertising and product location in the retail environment. As such, many product display devices are designed to take advantage of valuable retail space location. At the same time, display devices may also be designed to creatively utilize advertising space in order to include product graphics, indicia, and trademarks. [0003] Conventional product display devices may take many different forms. Some retail establishments require that displays meet particular specifications in order to be used by that establishment. In some instances, retail establishments are concerned with storage space required for display devices when not in use. Retail establishments often desire that display devices be easy to set up, requiring minimal time and effort from its employees. Another issue with these devices relates to the disposal of displays after use. Retail establishments may prefer environmentally friendly displays in order to minimize issues with respect to disposal. [0004] Some of the popular display products being used have dispensing chutes that compartmentalize product and allow a consumer to remove one product while another product will slide down into its place. Some of the currently available displays are difficult to assemble because they require two or more body pieces to form the outer shell, as well as serpentine-style inserts. This means that rather than being shipped in an easy to assemble position, the person preparing the display actually has to fold the paperboard insert back and forth to form the chutes. As example of such a system is shown in FIG. 12. This system also has two separate body parts to form the housing, which adds to assembly time and manufacturing costs. [0005] It is thus desirable to provide a display unit that is easy to ship, easy to set up, and provides efficient delivery of product to the end-consumer. It is further desirable to provide display units that feature graphics, while also providing the additional display space on the unit, if needed. It is further desirable to provide a display unit that features chutes or other avenues by which products can be dispensed. SUMMARY [0006] In one embodiment, there is provided a display device with an insert and an outer body. The insert preferably has a series of panels that are adapted to be folded and glued upon one another to form one or more chutes. The outer body preferably has a front panel, a rear panel, and a series of additional panels comprising a bottom panel, a foot panel, and a platform panel that are adapted to be folded upon themselves to collectively form a display base. The outer body may also have angled support legs or an angled bottom of the base that allow the display to lean back and support itself. In use, the insert can be inserted into the outer body and shipped in a flattened position. [0007] In a further embodiment, there is provided a display base having a support grid, a face panel attached to the support grid, the face panel having one or more openings, one or more peg display hooks attached to the support grid through the one or more openings in the face pane, and support legs. The display body may also have product pouches attached thereto. This embodiment allows product to be displayed on peg display hooks and/or displayed in product display pouches.
