Product management display system
First Claim
1. A merchandise-display system comprising:
- an integrated base-and-divider assembly, wherein the base-and-divider assembly includes a base portion adapted for operative coupling to a front rail, and a divider portion for dividing displayed merchandise into rows, wherein the divider portion protrudes from the base portion such that the divider portion separates the base portion into a first portion and a second portion; and
a spring-urged pusher mounted to a pusher track for pushing merchandise toward the front of the shelf, the pusher comprising an off-set pusher face, the pusher track comprising a first rail with a top surface and a bottom surface, a second rail with a top surface and a bottom surface, an elongated aperture between the first rail and the second rail, a plurality of ribs connecting the first rail and the second rail, and wherein the first rail defines a plurality of notches and the second rail defines a plurality of notches, wherein the base-and-divider assembly and pusher track are separate components and each are mounted to a front rail that extends along a front portion of the shelf.

Abstract
An integrated “T” assembly combines into a single integrated assembly, a track portion along both sides of a divider. The T assembly may have a wide-base portion, which may include a spring-urged-pusher track, on one side of the divider and a narrow-base portion on the opposite side of the divider. An offset pusher may have an upper portion that is offset, via an angled offset portion, from a lower portion of the pusher. Additional supporting bases, any of which may include spring-urged-pusher tracks and/or a spring-urged pusher, may be used under a wide product. Left and right side finisher components may be paired with T assemblies near the sides of a merchandise-display shelf. The T assembly, base, and/or end finishers may be coupled to a front rail via a complimentary tongue and groove arrangement and/or a non-slidable engagement, such as mating teeth.
