Product display and fronting assembly
First Claim
1. A product fronting assembly for fronting products, the product fronting assembly comprising:
- a base;
a rear member slidable therealong; and
a ratchet mechanism movable with respect to the base and engageable with the rear member, the ratchet mechanism slidable between a first position in which movement of the ratchet mechanism in a first direction toward a front of the product fronting assembly moves the rear member in the first direction, and a second position in which the rear member does not move in response to movement of the ratchet mechanism.

Abstract
In some embodiments, a product fronting assembly includes a rotatable rear member and an elongated member extending to a handle at a front of the assembly. The rear member in some embodiments is rotatable to permit rear product loading in the assembly. Alternatively or in addition, the rear member is rotatable between a position in which forward handle movement fronts product and another position in which such handle movement does not front product. In some embodiments, a ratchet mechanism enables a handle to be returned to a stowed position after fronting product. A cable or strip can connect a handle to a rear member used to move the product. A portion of the cable or strip can be wound in a coil within or at least partially defining an assembly handle. Also, in some embodiments the assembly can be snap-fit upon a shelf.
