Abstract
An upright product merchandiser that increases the space available for displaying products such as cross-merchandised products without interfering with shelved products, is disclosed. The product merchandiser includes a first elongate rung and a second elongate rung which is spaced apart from the first elongate rung. The first and second elongate rungs extend generally parallel to a longitudinal axis of the product merchandiser. A plurality of V-shaped rungs are spaced apart from each other and extend generally normal to the longitudinal axis of the product merchandiser. Each V-shaped rung includes a first leg and a second leg that diverge from an apex. The first leg of each V-shaped rung is joined to a first elongate rung, and the second leg of each V-shaped rung is joined to a second elongate rung. The first legs of the V-shaped rungs cooperate with the first elongate rung to define a first side of the product merchandiser, and the second legs of the V-shaped rungs cooperate with the second elongate rung to define a second side of the product merchandiser. The first and second legs of the V-shaped rungs are each adapted to removably support an associated hanger for holding merchandise. At least one support clip engages the first and second elongate rungs, and engages with a mounting clip of an associated shelving unit to removably secure the product merchandiser to the shelving unit.
