Abstract
Means for installing, adjusting and securing tracks of a gravity feed mechandise rack. Preferably, a strip bearing slots is spaced slightly above the horizontal support surface of each of the front and rear cross members of a shelf for the rack. Each track has a pair of cooperating side rails, preferably with in-turned lower edges. During assembly, each end of a track slides into slots while the in-turned edges slide between a strip and a support surface. The sizes of the tracks, strips and slots are such that the tracks may be placed into a locked position by simple longitudinal manipulation.
