1. A retail display glide apparatus for holding a plurality of items, comprising:
- a base having front, back, left, and right ends, an upper surface for supporting the items, and a bottom surface;
a plurality of wall members, at least some thereof removably installable on the base extending front-to-back so as to cooperate with the base to define a plurality of channels, each channel dimensioned for accommodating an associated front-to-back column of the items; and
a front member installable to the base and to the installed wall members to bound forward extremities of the channels.

Abstract
A glide (20) includes a base (22), a front member, and a number of walls (26) extending front-to-back. Both the base and the front member are advantageously formed as a number of pieces secured side-by-side to provide expandability. The front member may be secured to the walls via dovetail interaction and different front members may be provided for different wall spacings.

11. A kit for forming a retail display glide apparatus for holding a plurality of containers, comprising:
-
a primary base member having front, back, left, and right ends, an upper surface, and a bottom surface;
a plurality of auxiliary base members each having front, back, left, and right ends, an upper surface and a bottom surface, having a width substantially less than a width of the primary base member and configured to be selectively assembled with the primary base member in side-by-side configuration to form a glide base;
a plurality of wall members, at least some thereof being selectively installable on the base extending front-to-back so as to cooperate with the base to define a plurality of channels, each channel for accommodating an associated front-to-back column of the containers, the plurality wall members being so installable alternatively in at least two sets of positions corresponding to two different nominal channel widths; and
at least two front member assembly kits respectively associated with the at least two channel widths, each comprising;
a primary front member having front and back surfaces and top, bottom, left, and right edges; and
a plurality of auxiliary front members, each having front and back surfaces and top, bottom, left, and right edges and configured to be selectively assembled with the primary front member to form a front member assembly, the front member assembly attachable to the base and to the installed wall members so as to bound forward extremities of the channels. - View Dependent Claims (12, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

14. A front member for a retail display glide apparatus for holding a plurality of items, said apparatus comprising:
-
a base having front, back, left, and right ends, an upper surface for supporting the items, and a bottom surface; and
a plurality of wall members, in at least one condition on the base extending front-to-back so as to cooperate with the base to define a plurality of channels, each channel dimensioned for accommodating an associated front-to-back column of the items;
the front member installable to the base and to the installed wall members and comprising;
surfaces bounding forward extremities of the channels; and
a series of vertically-extending dovetail channels, engagable via vertical translation to complementary projections along front portions of the wall members.
