FIG.1depicts an exemplary grazing wall102. Grazing walls102as used herein may refer to a wall structure having dedicated spaces on the grazing wall102for containers of food or beverage. Such containers of food or beverage can be the form of champagne glasses that hold edible food, snacks, and/or drink, including alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks. Other types of containers may include cone shaped containers made of paper or other materials. The grazing wall102is intended to be both functional and decorative and maximize vertical space to display containers having various contents. Accordingly, in one or more non-limiting embodiments, the containers may hold and contain edible items such as food and/or beverage. In other embodiments, the containers may hold non-edible items mixed in with edible contents or solely hold non-edible contents. Advantageously, rather than having multiple tables that take up a great deal of horizontal space in a room or other type of setting, the grazing wall102can still hold multiple levels of shelves of containers of various content types and capitalize on using the vertical space of a setting to display and present the grazing wall102.

Grazing wall102as shown inFIG.1-2is a basic embodiment that depicts how the grazing wall102may look and function according to one or more non-limiting embodiments. As shown inFIG.1, the main frame wall structure may have a front surface, a back surface, top edge112, bottom edge114, left side116, and a right side118. In a non-limiting embodiment, the grazing wall102may be a self-standing and self-supporting structure via the base structure136that does not require the grazing wall102to be attached to a ground surface or other vertical surface to stand upright.

The main frame wall structure may be an upright support structure having a predetermined thickness to support the weight of multiple shelves, such as shelves130a-fshown inFIG.1. The main frame wall structure may be built as a single integrated unit or may be broken up into smaller segments and modules which may also be referred to as structural panels104a-104dso that the user is able to determine what height the grazing wall102may be. Each module or structural panel104can be stacked on the other to build a higher, taller wall structure102or can exist on its own when attached to the base136so that the user has a shorter wall structure102that suits the user's needs. The height of the grazing wall102may be customized to range from a very short wall to a very tall wall as needed by the space and use considerations.

In some instances, the grazing wall102may be a self-standing structure that may stand on its own in a vertical space on a ground surface. In other instances, the grazing wall102may be a self-standing structure that may be placed on a table surface or other elevated surface without requiring other attachment mechanisms to attach to the table surface. As shown inFIG.1, the grazing wall102may incorporate a base structure136that may be useful to keep the grazing wall102upright and supported on any support surface, whether the support surface is a ground surface or a table surface.

Uniquely, the grazing wall102is configured to support one or more shelves130a-130fas required. A greater or lesser number of shelves130may be utilized other than as shown inFIG.1.

In a non-limiting embodiment, the shelves130a-130fmay include containers that can hold any type of food or beverages in a convenient and easy to reach manner for guests or other users where the grazing wall102is located (including a grazing wall102made up of structural panels801as shown inFIGS.8-11). An intended use of the grazing wall102, according to one or more non-limiting embodiments, may be that the grazing wall102may be set up so that guests or other users can independently walk up and retrieve the containers of pre-filled and assembled food or beverages from the grazing wall102or be handed the containers of pre-filled and pre-assembled food or beverages by another person. In a non-limiting embodiment, the set of containers are positioned ahead of and in advance of a front side of the grazing wall and do not touch a front side of the grazing wall102.

The containers203of the grazing wall102fit within the dedicated slots such as slots133integrated into each shelf130as shown inFIG.2andFIG.3and inFIG.5. There may be multiple slots133for each shelf130that is spaced apart by separate segments132. In a non-limiting embodiment, the containers203may be in the form of cones204, as shown inFIG.2, or may be in the form of drinking glasses302as shown inFIG.3.FIG.2shows multiple shelves130having multiple containers203in the form of cones204positioned in each slot133on each shelf130a-130e.FIG.3shows multiple containers203in the form of drinking glasses302positioned in each slot133on each shelf130a-130band the grazing wall102being free standing and supported on a table surface.

Notably, in a non-limiting embodiment, the containers203may preferably have an open top210, as shown by the cones204and the drinking glasses302so that the containers203can be filled with food or beverages and the user can easily access the contents of the containers203from the open top210of each container203. As shown inFIG.2andFIG.3, a majority of the body212of the container203may rest above the slot133in between each separate segment132of each shelf130, and a bottom portion214of the containers203may extend beneath the slots133of the shelves104. As shown inFIG.2, the end pointed tip of the cone container204may be positioned or extend beneath the slot133of each shelf130while the bottom stems of the drinking glasses302, as shown inFIG.3, may be positioned or extend beneath the slots133of each shelf130. In some embodiments, the types of containers203included on each shelf130of the grazing wall102may be uniform, such that, all the containers203may be the same type of container203. In other cases, the types of containers203may be varied such that both cones204and drinking glasses302or other types of containers203may be utilized and displayed on a same grazing wall102.

In a non-limiting embodiment, the cone containers204may be made of paper or other recyclable material, although any other type of material may be utilized, including non-paper materials. The drinking glasses302may be in the form of champagne glasses in one or more non-limiting embodiments, and may be made of plastic, glass, or any other type of material known in the art. The drinking glasses302may be transparent such that the contents206(e.g., food and/or beverages or any other contents) of the drinking glasses302may be visible when looking directly at the grazing wall102.

Notably, one of the decorative aspects of the grazing wall102may be that the contents206of the containers203may either protrude above the open top210of each container203to indicate to the user from afar what is contained within the container203. Alternatively, or additionally, the container203may be transparent and/or see through such that the user can see the contents206of the container203from afar as displayed within each slot133on each shelf130of the grazing wall102.

In a non-limiting embodiment, there may be a variety of food items included in a container203, including, but not limited to, cheese, fruit, vegetables, snack items, or any other type of edible food items or non-edible items without limitation. In other non-limiting embodiments, the food items may be the same type contained in the one or more containers203displayed and presented on the grazing wall102. Further, the containers203can hold beverages for easy access by a guest or other user to retrieve from the dedicated slots133integrated into each shelf130of the grazing wall102. The display of the containers203(e.g., in the form of cones204or drinking glasses302) to hold the contents206within the containers203provides a means for enclosing a specific assembly of food items, including sweets, salty treats, meats, cheeses, fruits, vegetables, or any other type of food items, in an organized and pre-arranged manner. The display of the contents206within the containers203may be more decorative and visually appealing when displayed on the shelves104of the grazing wall102in each dedicated slot133as shown inFIG.1-3than traditional forms of presentation and display that involve presenting larger platters or bowls of food items or drink containers on a table or other surface. The grazing wall102as shown inFIGS.1-3may be particularly appealing and add a unique aspect to celebratory events such as birthdays, weddings, bridal showers, baby showers, or any other type of event without limitation thereto.

As shown inFIG.1-3and inFIG.7, there may be decorative greenery covering110covering a front surface106of the grazing wall102for an aesthetically pleasing visual effect. The greenery covering110can be artificial and synthetic (e.g., faux), and/or incorporate real and live elements in one or more non-limiting embodiments. The greenery covering110may be attached to a front side of the grazing wall102and/or drape in front of the grazing wall102. The greenery covering110may include vines, leaves, flowers, fruits, vegetables, moss, or any other kind of element found in nature. The greenery covering110may further include beads, shells, streamers, or any other decorative elements. The greenery covering110and the term greenery covering as used herein including greenery covering110shown inFIG.7is not limited to real or faux greenery. The term “greenery covering” may include real or faux, synthetic decorative elements of any kind. The greenery covering110can be very dense or can be lighter in appearance and density in one or more embodiments.

As shown inFIG.2, the greenery covering110can cover the entire front surface106of the grazing wall102and may be in the form of a single layer that may be attachable to a front surface of the main wall frame structure of the grazing wall102. In other embodiments, the greenery covering110may only cover a portion of the grazing wall102as desired by the user. The greenery covering110as shown inFIGS.2-3may be positioned on the grazing wall102and each shelf130may attach through the greenery covering110to the main frame of the grazing wall102.

Any means of attachment may be used to attach the shelves130to the main frame wall structure of the grazing wall102. For example, one or more brackets and fasteners may be used to attach the shelves130to the main frame wall structure of the grazing wall102. Alternatively, or additionally, nails or screws may be used to screw the shelves130into the main frame wall structure of the grazing wall102. Alternatively, or additionally, the shelves130may be magnetically attracted to the surface of the main frame wall structure of the grazing wall102and one or more magnets may be used to hold the shelves130in place on a vertical front surface of the grazing wall102. The shelves130may be permanently attached to the front surface of the grazing wall102or may be removably attachable by any means known in the art for attachment.

Notably, the grazing wall102may be a type of presentation and display wall for containers203that can be reused multiple times.
