Abstract

A retail display system is provided with a point-of-sale display unit sized to be received in a retail store aisle. A plurality of planar display panes with varying sizes and varying styles are oriented within the display unit. Mounting hardware kits are common for the plurality of planar display panes, and are oriented within the display unit, to mount the plurality of planar display planes at varying distances from an upright support surface. A plurality of frames with varying sizes and varying styles, are sized to mount about one of the plurality of planar display panes, and are oriented within the display unit. Instructional indicia are provided on the display unit to inform a customer to select at least one planar display pane and at least one frame.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A retail display system comprising:
a point-of-sale display unit sized to be received in a retail store aisle;
a first plurality of planar display panes with a first size and a first style oriented within the display unit;
a second plurality of planar display panes with a second size and second style oriented within the display unit, wherein at least one of the second size and the second style is different from the first size and the first style; and
mounting hardware kits that are common for both of the first plurality of planar display panes and the second plurality of planar display panes, oriented within the display unit, to mount one of the first plurality of planar display planes and the second plurality of planar display panes at varying distances from an upright support surface;
wherein the first style is further defined as a first mirror material; and
wherein the second style is further defined as a second mirror material.

2. The retail display system of claim 1 wherein the first style is further defined as a round shape; and
wherein the second style is further defined as a quadrilateral shape.

3. The retail display of claim 1 wherein the mounting hardware kits are packaged separately for retail.

4. The retail display system of claim 1 further comprising:
first packages sized to receive one of the first plurality of planar display panes; and
second packages sized to receive one of the second plurality of display panes.

5. The retail display system of claim 4 wherein each of the first packages and the second packages are sized to receive at least one of the mounting hardware kits oriented therein.

6. The retail display system of claim 4 wherein the first style is further defined as a round shape;
wherein the second style is further defined as a quadrilateral shape;
wherein each of the first packages have a perimeter that is not a quadrilateral shape; and
wherein each of the second packages have a perimeter that is a quadrilateral shape.

7. The retail display system of claim 4 wherein the first style is further defined as a round shape;
wherein the second style is further defined as a quadrilateral shape;
wherein each of the first packages are formed with a cutout that is not a quadrilateral shape to view the first pane packaged therein; and
wherein each of the second packages are formed with a cutout that is a quadrilateral shape to view the second pane packaged therein.

8. A retail display system comprising:
a point-of-sale display unit sized to be received in a retail store aisle;
a first plurality of planar mirrors oriented within the display unit;
at least one first frame with a first size and a first style, sized to mount about one of the first plurality of planar mirrors, and oriented within the display unit; and
at least one second frame with a second size and a second style, sized to mount about one of the first plurality of planar mirrors, and oriented within the display unit, wherein at least one of the second size and the second style is different from the first size and the first style;
wherein the first size is further defined as a first thickness;
wherein the second size is further defined as a second thickness;
first mounting hardware kits to mount the first plurality of planar mirrors at a first distance from an upright support surface for the first thickness of the at least one first frame, oriented within the display unit; and
second mounting hardware kits to mount the first plurality of planar mirrors a second distance from an upright support surface for the second thickness of the at least one second frame, oriented within the display unit.

9. The retail display system of claim 8 further comprising frame assembly hardware kits common for both the at least one first frame and the at least one second frame, oriented in the display unit, to interchangeably mount the at least one first frame and the at least one second frame to one of the first plurality of planar mirrors.

10. The retail display system of claim 8 wherein the first style is further defined as a round shape; and
wherein the second style is further defined as a quadrilateral shape.

11. The retail display of claim 8 wherein the first mounting hardware kits are packaged separately for retail; and
wherein the second mounting hardware kits are packaged separately for retail.

12. The retail display system of claim 8 further comprising:
a first frame package for the at least one first frame; and
a second frame package for the at least one second frame.

13. The retail display system of claim 12 further comprising frame assembly hardware kits common for both the at least one first frame and the at least one second frame, to interchangeably mount the at least one first frame and the at least one second frame to one of the first plurality of planar mirrors, wherein the frame assembly hardware kits are oriented in each of the first frame package and the second frame package.

14. The retail display system of claim 12 wherein each of the first frame package and the second frame package is formed with a cutout therein to reveal that each frame package does not include one of the first plurality of planar mirrors.

15. The retail display system of claim 12 further comprising first mirror packages sized to receive one of the first plurality of planar mirrors, wherein each of the first mirror packages are formed with a cutout in a perimeter to reveal that the first mirror packages do not include a frame.

16. The retail display system of claim 15 wherein the first plurality of planar mirrors have a first mirror size and a first mirror style, oriented within the display unit; and
wherein the retail display system further comprises:
first mirror packages sized to receive one of the first plurality of planar mirrors,
a second plurality of planar mirrors with a second mirror size and a second mirror style oriented within the display unit, wherein at least one of the second mirror size and the second mirror style is different from the first mirror size and the first mirror style,
second mirror packages sized to receive one of the second plurality of planar mirrors, and
instructional indicia provided on each of the first frame package, the second frame package, the first pane packages and the second mirror packages to inform a customer regarding a process to select at least one planar display mirror and at least one frame.

17. The retail display system of claim 16 further comprising:
at least one third frame with a third size and a third style, sized to mount about one of the second plurality of planar mirrors, and oriented within the display unit;
a third frame package sized to receive the at least one third frame;
at least one fourth frame with a fourth size and a fourth style, sized to mount about one of the second plurality of planar mirrors, and oriented within the display unit, wherein at least one of the fourth size and the fourth style is different from the third size and the third style;
a fourth frame package sized to receive the at least one fourth frame; and
instructional indicia provided on each of the third frame package, and the fourth frame package to inform a customer to select at least one planar display mirror and at least one frame.

18. The retail display system of claim 8
wherein the first plurality of planar mirrors have a first size and a first style;
