- 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;
a pusher track operatively coupled to the front rail, the pusher track comprising at least one rail with a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein the at least one rail defines at least one notch, the pusher track further comprising at least one projection configured to prevent the pusher track from sliding along the front rail; and
a spring-urged pusher mounted to the pusher track for pushing merchandise toward the front of the shelf, the pusher comprising a pusher face having a top and a bottom, wherein the base-and-divider assembly and pusher track are separate components and each are mounted to the 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.
