A stacked can merchandiser includes a floor component. The floor component has a glide surface allowing movement of merchandise, a plurality of engagement tabs disposed on the sides of the floor component, and a plurality of interfit spaces disposed on the sides of the floor component. The plurality of engagement tabs has a thickness equal to a thickness of the track component, and at least one engagement tab includes a snap lock feature disposed thereon. At least one of the interfit spaces includes a snap lock feature. The stacked can merchandiser further includes a divider extending upwardly from the track component. At least one finger element is disposed at a front edge of the divider and extends laterally therefrom. At least one pusher element is coupled to the divider and configured to travel along a length of the divider.

Stacked can merchandiser

A shelf clamp for connecting a rack unit to a display shelf has a flat body with a clasp extending from the top end of the flat body, a support lip extending from the mid-section of the flat body, and a front fin extending diagonally upward from the front face of the flat body, wherein the front fin is comprised of flexible material such that the front fin can flex towards the flat body. The bottom end of the shelf clamp is fashioned to slide down between an edge of the shelf and a wall, causing the front fin to flex upward toward the flat body as it presses between the shelf and the wall, and then return to its diagonally upward position once it passes the shelf. Thereby, the shelf clamp engages the edge of the shelf and the support rib and the front fin.

Merchandising unit and system

A display tray system includes a union tray section having a center wall and first and second trays extending away from the center wall. A first center tray assembly includes a first center tray section secured to a first base and defining a first gap therebetween. The first tray is movably secured within the first gap. A second center tray assembly includes a second center tray section secured to a second base and defines a second gap therebetween. The second tray is movably secured within the second gap.

Display tray system

The system of the present application includes a display tray assembly having base and center tray sections that are configured to form a gap that receives a side tray section on either side. The side tray sections are configured such that they may move laterally with respect to the base and center tray section in order to adjust the width of the entire display tray assembly to accommodate any size product in a retail environment. In lieu of side tray sections, the display tray assembly may include union tray sections that may engage two separate base and center tray section assemblies in order to create a continuous display tray assembly with adjustable widths.

Display tray assembly

A glide floor for use in supporting a number of containers, e.g. for retail display, includes a series of ribs on a top surface defined by the glide floor, in combination with a series of valleys between the ribs. Each rib defines a radiused uppermost tangency point that serves to minimize the contact area between the rib and a bottom surface of each container while providing smooth contact with the bottom surface of the container.

Glide floor for merchandising and display of retail products

A merchandising system provides for the presentation and storage of articles comprising a base having a front and a back, the base being configured to support the articles and defining a first space for containing the articles. In addition, the merchandising system comprises an assembly for advancing the articles toward the front of the base, wherein the assembly comprises a member configured to extend beyond the base to create a second space for containing the articles in addition to the first space.

Merchandising system

A merchandising system for articles comprising a connector, a first divider coupled to the connector, and a second divider coupled to the connector wherein a compartment of a first size is provided when the first divider is coupled to a portion of the connector and the second divider is coupled to a portion of the connector.

A system and method for providing a merchandising system. The merchandising system includes a first divider, a second divider, and a third divider. The merchandising system further includes a first connector and a second connector. The first connector couples the first divider and the second divider. The first connector provides for selective size adjustability between the first divider and the second divider. The second connector couples the second divider and the third divider. The second connector provides for selective size adjustability between the second divider and the third divider. The connector may be provided in a variety of configurations, including teeth configured to engage with the divider. The connector may alternatively include a flexible member configured to engage and disengage with the divider.

Systems and methods for merchandising product. A merchandising system includes a base having a first set of interfaces and a second set of interfaces, a first divider having a first engagement portion, and a second divider having a second engagement portion. The first engagement portion releasably couples to one of the interfaces of the first set of interfaces and the second engagement portion releasably couples to one of the interfaces of the second set of interfaces.

A shelving system (10) includes an upper shelf (42) exclusively supported by and at differing vertical spacings from a lower shelf (16) which can be removably attached to an outside support in the preferred form of a refrigerator case (12). Each of the shelves (16, 42) include support panels (32, 56) for removable securement of trays (62) including upright walls (70) for retaining differing types of yogurt containers in a straight line. For containers where the bases include the largest horizontal dimension, the upright walls (70) are formed on the outside edges of the trays (62). For containers having the maximum horizontal dimension other than at the base, the trays (62) include first and second protrusions (71) extending beyond the upright walls (70) to an extent generally equal to the maximum horizontal dimension of the containers. The trays (62) each include flexible stops (72) for preventing product from sliding off their front edges and providing cushioning and stopping of sliding product. The trays (62) are inclined at a gentle angle sufficient to start sliding of product on the trays under gravitational forces and include ribs (68) upon which the planar bases of the products slide and are supported to reduce static friction.
