Abstract:
Devices and methods for displaying beauty and other visual products are disclosed. A display system can comprise a frame and a sample portion. Traits such as color and texture of a beauty product can be displayed on the sample portion, and the frame portion can interface with product shelving to align samples with relevant products in the display. The sample portion can be releasably attached to the frame to be removed by a user and be placed above a body part of the user to which a beauty product may be applied, or a body part can be placed in proximity to the sample portion even while it is attached to the frame. The user can advantageously view the beauty product as applied to the body part without applying the beauty product. The system is useful for fingernail polish display, for example.

Claim (Index 1):
A beauty product sample display system comprising:\n a frame configured for attachment to an elongate row of product shelving configured to hold beauty products in one or more elongate columns that are nonparallel with respect to the elongate row, the elongate row of product shelving further configured to be positioned near a consumer space such that the one or more elongate columns of beauty products are visible to a consumer, the beauty products arranged adjacent to one another in the one or more elongate columns, the frame further configured to support one or more swatch pieces and associate each of the one or more swatch pieces with a corresponding one of the one or more elongate columns of beauty products by positioning each of the one or more swatch pieces adjacent to and aligning with the corresponding one of the one or more elongate columns of beauty products; and one or more of the swatch pieces, each comprising:\n a rigid plastic sample portion that can be configured to contain or display a beauty product sample and expose the beauty product sample's color or other visual properties for inspection by the consumer when that consumer is present in the consumer space, each sample portion configured to protrude outward, away from the product shelving and into the consumer space to allow the consumer to interact with the sample portion and evaluate the color or other visual properties; \n each sample portion comprising a fingernail-shaped section having each of the following:\n a superior convex surface configured to be directly exposed and visible to the consumer for containing or displaying the beauty product sample while generally covering a fingernail of the consumer; a corresponding anterior concave surface configured to allow the consumer's fingernail to nest immediately adjacent thereto and a corresponding anterior space underneath the concave surface of sufficient size that the consumer in the consumer space can place the consumer's fingernail immediately underneath the sample portion to see a visual effect the beauty product sample would produce if placed directly on the consumer's fingernail; \n a fingernail tip extending generally toward the frame and having an upper edge; \n a fingernail base extending away from the frame toward the consumer space, the fingernail base having a lower curved edge that is shaped to abut a standard cuticle of the consumer's fingernail such that the sample portion tends to fully cover the fingernail and display the beauty product sample's color or other visual properties adjacent the skin of the consumer when the consumer places the consumer's fingernail immediately underneath the sample portion in the anterior space; \n \n each sample portion further comprising a remainder section configured to support the fingernail-shaped section and cause it to protrude outward, away from the product shelving and into the consumer space, thereby creating the anterior space underneath the concave surface of the fingernail-shaped section, each remainder section having:\n a flat label portion that can be configured to contain or display a label identifying a name or source of the beauty product sample contained or displayed in the sample portion, the flat label portion associated with the sample portion and facing up and into the consumer space; \n a border between the remainder section and the fingernail-shaped section, the border having a generally inverted U shape that is sized and configured to abut the upper edge of the fingernail tip of the fingernail-shaped section of the sample portion while allowing the superior convex surface of the sample portion to bulge upwardly into the consumer space; and \n at least one engagement protrusion extending downwardly from the back of the remainder section in a direction away from the customer space; \n \n the one or more swatch pieces configured to align with the corresponding one or more elongate columns of beauty products.
