Abstract
A gravity flow shelving system is adapted for displaying and storing merchandise in a variety of different arrangements. Each shelf on the flow shelving system comprises a bent wire frame and a shelf surface formed by a plurality of longitudinal wire tracks, allowing for uninterrupted sliding during gravity flow. A flexibly mountable backsplash spans the front of the shelf to shield price or advertising labels from potential leakage of the merchandise. Separators having U-shaped clasps affixed thereon are flexibly mountable to each shelf to form merchandise rows. Hooking members extend underneath each shelf to anchor the shelf to vertically adjustable mounting plates selectively positioned along the channeled uprights of the gravity flow shelving system.
