A U-shaped adjustable shelving system comprised of a plurality of interconnecting shelf sections including a back shelf section, a right side shelf section and a left side shelf section. The right and left side shelf sections are coupled to the back shelf section with a sliding dovetail arrangement so as to allow adjustment of the right and left side shelf sections relative to the back shelf section in order to change the width of the adjustable shelving system. The back shelf section is adjustable in length to substantially match the width of the space in which the shelving system is to be installed. The adjustable shelving system includes support risers for self-supporting the shelving system above a surface. The adjustable shelf can be easily installed into a variety of cabinets, and allows access to small containers, such as those for herbs and spices. |

The trays are extensible from a retracted position in which the trays are arranged in compact, vertically spaced relationship for transportation, to a deployed position in which the trays extend on opposite sides in an alternating arrangement with increased vertical spacing, and are tilted to a downwardly angled orientation so that the plants can be readily viewed and accessed by customers and other personnel. The posts and trays are mounted on a mobile frame that includes stabilizer legs which prevent the assembly from tipping when the trays are in the deployed position. The posts and trays are removable from the frame, and can be broken down for storage. |

An inventory/facing construction currently available gondola which allows it to accommodate faster moving inventory without changing the desired planogrammed facings. A horizonal shelf carries symmetrical anchors at each rear end. A three-way arm has one arm pivotally secured to a forward finger, a second arm retaining; a counter balance spring between the second arm and an upper rear finger of the anchor, and a third arm extending diagonally upwardly pivotally secured to front anchors at each front end of the shelf. The front anchors support a vertical panel between the standards, forming a smaller version of a gondola upright, peg board construction, and supported desired shelving and facings. A bar is pivotally secured to the arms and anchors.The front anchors define a cam surface which engages a cam follower at the forward end of the horizonal shelf causing the panel to move its substantially full horizonal extent as soon as possible and then to drop vertically to its full extent thereafter. The arms and bar form a torsion bar to insure proper positioning of the panel. The facing shelving occupies about one-quarter of the volume above the gondola base, and the inventory storage behind occupies about three-quarters of the volume. |

A multi-shelf type of showcase comprises a number of shelf plate supported substantially in a horizontal position at different levels. A shelf plate at each shelf level consists of a rear shelf section carried by shelf supports on the left and right sides of the showcase, and a movable front shelf section fitted in said rear shelf section slidably in the forth and back directions. The movable front shelf section can be drawn out forwardly of said rear shelf section upon using the same, while it can be inserted and accommodated within said rear shelf section when it is not in use. According to one aspect of the present invention, the respective rear shelf sections are fixedly secured to a framework of the showcase. However, according to another aspect of the invention, each of said rear shelf sections is pivotably mounted on a framework of the showcase so as to be rotatable upwardly about an axis at the rear end portion thereof. The front shelf section is provided with a latch protrusion at its front end portion, while on the bottom surface of the rear end portion of said rear shelf section and on the bottom surface of the rear end portion of a top wall of said showcase are respectively provided latch receiver means adapted to be engaged with said latch protrusions of said respective front shelf sections when each said front shelf section is accommodated in the associated rear shelf section and rotated upwardly about said axis jointly with said rear shelf section. In this mode of embodiment, when both the front and rear shelf sections become unused, said rear shelf section having said front shelf section accommodated therein can be rotated upwardly about said axis and locked at a substantially vertical position by engagement between the latch protrusion and the latch receiver means. |
