Abstract

A product display includes an elongated member having at least one channel extending in a direction substantially parallel with the length of the member, a product support engaged with the elongated member, and a product divider engaged with the elongated member. At least one of the product support and the product divider is at least partially received within the channel. The product support and the product divider are independently movable relative to one another along the length of the elongated member to adjust the respective positions of the product support and the product divider relative to the elongated member.

Claims

1. A product display comprising:

an elongated member including at least one channel extending in a direction substantially parallel with the length of the member;

a product support engaged with the elongated member; and

a product divider engaged with the elongated member;

wherein at least one of the product support and the product divider is at least partially received within the channel, and the product support and the product divider are independently movable relative to one another along the length of the elongated member to adjust the respective positions of the product support and the product divider relative to the elongated member.

2. The product display of claim 1, wherein the channel is a first channel and the elongated member includes a second channel extending in a direction substantially parallel with the first channel, and a portion of the product support is received within the first channel and a portion of the product divider is received within the second channel.

3. The product display of claim 1, wherein the elongated member is a first elongated member and the product display further comprises a second elongated member including at least one channel extending in a direction substantially parallel with the length of the second elongated member, and at least one of the product support and the product divider is received within the channel of the second elongated member.

4. The product display of claim 3, wherein the channel of the second elongated member is a first channel and the second elongated member includes a second channel extending in a direction substantially parallel with the first channel of the second elongated member, and a portion of the product support is received within the first channel of the second elongated member and a portion of the product divider is received within the second channel of the second elongated member.

5. The product display of claim 1, wherein the product support is a first product support and the product display further comprises a second product support engaged with the elongated member, and the first and second product supports each includes a locking member operable to interengage with each other to secure together the first and second product supports.

6. The product display of claim 5, wherein the locking members of the first and second product supports each include a resiliently-deflectable finger.

7. The product display of claim 1, wherein the product support includes a frame and an end cap coupled to one end of the frame, and the end cap is at least partially received within the channel for sliding movement along the channel.

8. The product display of claim 1, wherein the product divider includes a base at least partially received within the channel for sliding movement along the channel;

and

a divider member extending from the base and oriented substantially parallel with the product support.

9. The product display of claim 8, wherein the divider member is removable from the base.

10. The product display of claim 8, wherein the product divider further includes a divider wall removably coupled to the divider member.

11. The product display of claim 1, wherein the elongated member has a front and a rear and the channel is a first channel that opens rearwardly, and the elongated member includes a second channel that opens forwardly and is oriented in a direction substantially parallel with the first channel, and the second channel is sized to receive a label associated with products supported on the product support.

12. The product display of claim 1, wherein the channel is a first channel and the elongated member includes a second channel spaced above the first channel and oriented in a direction substantially parallel with the first channel, and the product support is at least partially received within the first channel and the product divider is at least partially received within the second channel.

13. The product display of claim 1, further comprising a frame for supporting the product support, wherein the channel is a first channel and the elongated member includes a second channel oriented in a direction substantially parallel with the first channel, wherein the second channel is sized to receive at least a portion of the frame.

14. The product display of claim 1, wherein the product support is a first product support and the product display further comprises a plurality of product supports interengageable with the first product support to form product support surfaces of varying widths.

15. A product display comprising:

a frame having a front and a rear;

an elongated member secured to one of the front and rear of the frame;

a product support engaged with the elongated member for movement along the length of the elongated member; and

a product divider engaged with the elongated member for movement along the length of the elongated member;

wherein the product support and the product divider are independently movable relative to one another along the length of the elongated member to adjust the respective positions of the product support and the product divider relative to the elongated member.

16. The product display of claim 15, wherein the elongated member includes one of a projection and a channel and the product support includes the other of the projection and the channel to provide sliding engagement of the product support with the elongated member.

17. The product display of claim 15, wherein the elongated member includes one of a projection and a channel and the product divider includes the other of the projection and the channel to provide sliding engagement of the product divider with the elongated member.

18. The product display of claim 15, wherein the elongated member includes

a first channel in which the product support is at least partially received;

and

a second channel extending in a direction substantially parallel with the first channel and in which the product divider is at least partially received.

19. The product display of claim 15, wherein the product support is a first product support and the product display further comprises a second product support engaged with the elongated member for movement along the length of the elongated member, and the first and second product supports each include a locking member operable to interengage with each other to secure together the first and second product supports.

20. The product display of claim 15, wherein the product support is at least partially supported by the frame.

21. A product display comprising:

at least one upright;

a frame having a front and a rear, the frame supported on the upright;

an elongated member secured to one of the front and rear of the frame and including first and second parallel channels extending in a direction along the length of the elongated member;

a plurality of product supports at least partially received in the first channel for movement along the length of the member; and

a plurality of product dividers at least partially received in the second channel for movement along the length of the elongated member independently of the product supports, wherein the product supports can be configured to form product support surfaces of varying widths.

22. The product display of claim 21, wherein each of the product supports includes a locking member operable to interengage with a locking member on an adjacent product support to secure together the adjacent product supports.

23. The product display of claim 21, wherein the second channel is spaced above the first channel.

24. The product display of claim 21, wherein the product supports are at least partially supported by the frame.

25. The product display of claim 21, wherein each of the product dividers includes
