Abstract
A product pusher device comprising an elongated guide track and a pusher sled slidably guided along the track for urging product packages forwardly on a display shelf. The pusher sled incorporates a housing for containing a coiled strip spring element. The end extremity of the spring is anchored at the forward end of the guide track, and t he coiled body spring is confined within the housing at the back of the sled. By constructing the sled housing with an open bottom, assembly is greatly facilitated by allowing the spring to be anchored on the guide track independently of the sled and thereafter allowing the sled to be lowered over the coiled body of the spring and pressed downward to be snapped into assembled position on the guide track.
