ADJUSTABLE DEPTH MERCHANDISING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An adjustable length divider system used in merchandising, comprising:
- a first divider portion, including a longitudinal axis and a first base section on which is defined a first connecting element;
a second divider portion, including a longitudinal axis and a second base section on which is defined a second connecting element, wherein said first and second connecting elements selectively engage each other such that said second divider portion is selectively detachable from said first divider portion and is movable along the longitudinal axis of said first divider portion to allow a length of the divider system to be changed, thereby enabling the divider system to be employed on associated shelves of varying depths.

Abstract
An adjustable depth merchandising apparatus includes an elongated mounting member operationally securable to an associated shelf and extending parallel to a longitudinal axis thereof. An adjustable divider system is selectively connected to the mounting member. The divider system includes a first divider portion and a second divider portion. Each portion contains connecting elements, which selectively engage each other to operatively connect the first divider portion to the second divider portion, thereby enabling the divider system to be employed on associated shelves of varying depths. A trackless pusher system is selectively received on the mounting member. The pusher system includes a mounting clip engaging the mounting member, a coil spring connected to the mounting clip and a pusher body slidably mounted in relation to the mounting member, wherein the coil spring is supported by the pusher body and connects the pusher body to the mounting clip. Both the divider system and the pusher system have a length which can be adjusted, thereby enabling the two systems to be employed on associated shelves of varying depths.

8. A trackless pusher system for biasing retail merchandise forward on a shelf, the pusher system comprising:
-
a mounting clip which selectively cooperates with an elongated mounting member; a pusher body; and
,a spring extending between and connecting said mounting clip to said pusher body, said spring acting on said pusher body to bias it towards said mounting clip, wherein said pusher body is physically separate from said mounting clip and is connected thereto only by said spring, so that the pusher system has a length which can be adjusted, thereby enabling the pusher system to be employed on associated shelves of varying depths. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. An adjustable depth merchandising apparatus comprising:
-
an elongated mounting member operationally securable to an associated shelf and extending parallel to a longitudinal axis thereof; an adjustable divider system selectively connected to said mounting member, wherein said divider system extends rearwardly over the associated shelf; and
,a trackless pusher system selectively connected to said mounting member and extending rearwardly over the associated shelf, wherein each of said divider system and said pusher system is selectively extendible so that an operative length of said respective system can be adjusted, thereby enabling the merchandising apparatus to be employed on associated shelves of varying depths. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
