Flexible merchandising display system

Abstract

A flexible merchandising display system which includes a merchandising display panel. The merchandising display panel includes a front surface having several raised frames configured to receive support arms of sufficient structural integrity to maintain merchandise suspended therefrom. At or about a top edge of the merchandising display panel, at least one bracket is provided to interface with a supporting structure, such as a slot wall, pegboard wall or a grid wall. A base mount is also provided which allows the merchandising display panel to be used as a standalone countertop display.

       8 . The system according to  claim 7  wherein said longitudinally aligned channel extends vertically downward from a top edge of said vertical support member to a top surface of said horizontal base member.  
   
   
       9 . A merchandising display panel system comprising: 
 a merchandising display panel;    a plurality of support arms, each of said plurality of support arms comprises a longitudinal arm member having a predetermined length, a hook coupled to one end of said longitudinal arm member and a connector coupled to an opposite end of said longitudinal arm member;    a plurality of raised frames periodically affixed at predetermined spacing onto a front surface of said merchandising display panel, each of said plurality of raised frames comprising a receptacle dimensioned to receive each of said connectors; and,    at least one bracket coupled to a top edge of said merchandising display panel for interfacing said merchandising display panel with a supporting structure.    
   
   
       10 . The flexible merchandising display system of  claim 9  further comprising a lower section devoid of said plurality of raised frames.  
   
   
       11 . The flexible merchandising display system of  claim 10  further comprising a base mount, said base mount including; 
 an elongated horizontal base member;    an elongated vertical support member longitudinally coupled to said elongated horizontal base member;    said elongated vertical support member including a longitudinally aligned channel dimensioned to receive at least a portion of said lower section of said merchandising display panel.    
   
   
       12 . The flexible merchandising display system of  claim 10  wherein said lower section of said merchandising display panel extends from a predetermined position below a last row of said plurality of raised frames to a bottom edge of said merchandising display panel.  
   
   
       13 . The flexible merchandising display system of  claim 11  wherein a width of said longitudinally aligned channel is greater than a thickness of said merchandising display panel.  
   
   
       14 . The flexible merchandising display system of  claim 11  wherein said elongated vertical support member is longitudinally coupled to said elongated horizontal base member at about a longitudinal centerline of said elongated horizontal base.  
   
   
       15 . The flexible merchandising display system of  claim 9  wherein each of said plurality of raised frames are configured to receive each of said connectors in a plane parallel to said front surface of said merchandising display panel system such that each of said support arms are aligned in a plane perpendicular to said front surface of said merchandising display panel.  
   
   
       16 . The flexible merchandising display system of  claim 9  wherein said at least one bracket is selected from the group consisting of a slot wall bracket, a grid wall bracket and a pegboard wall bracket.  
   
   
       17 . A flexible merchandising display system comprising: 
 a merchandising display panel;    a plurality of support arms, each of said plurality of support arms comprising a longitudinal arm member having a predetermined length, a hook coupled to one end of said longitudinal arm member and a connector coupled to an opposite end of said longitudinal member;    a plurality of raised frames periodically affixed at predetermined spacing onto a front surface of said merchandising display panel, each of said raised frames comprising a receptacle dimensioned to receive each of said connectors; and,    a base mount for maintaining said merchandising display panel in a substantially vertical orientation.    
   
   
       18 . The flexible merchandising display system of  claim 17  further comprising at least one bracket coupled at about a top edge of said merchandising display panel for interfacing said merchandising display panel with a supporting structure.  
   
   
       19 . The flexible merchandising display system of  claim 17  wherein said base mount comprises; 
 a horizontal base member;    a vertical support member longitudinally coupled to said elongated horizontal base member;    said vertical support member including a longitudinally aligned channel dimensioned to receive at least a portion of said merchandising display panel.
