Abstract: A gravity feed tray is provided for use as a component of a display device for retail merchandise such as bottled soft drinks or water in a retail setting. The gravity feed tray includes a first and second support structure that are forwardly and downwardly inclined when coupled to a retail display bar. The first and second support structures having inwardly extending flanges that project into a merchandise channel formed by the first and second support structures. The inwardly extending flanges provide a surface to display retail merchandise. The support surfaces being disposed downwardly and forwardly along a straight line so that rows of retail merchandise, such as bottles, may be stocked in the merchandise channel and supported by the inwardly extending flanges, whereby removal of the bottle at the front end of the merchandise channel causes a void that the remaining bottles fill by sliding via gravitational force.

Abstract: An electrified bus bar assembly is provided. The electrified bus bar assembly includes a track and one or more take-away adaptors that each are capable of acting as a power source to one or more display components. Each take away adaptor is mountable to the track via an electrical and mechanical connection.

Abstract: A security device and its associate base are provided. The base includes a cable having a free end which is routed through the base and around an item of retail merchandise. When tension is applied to the cable, the base actuates a depressible button of an anti-theft component of the security device mounted to the base.

Abstract: A retail shelf is provided. The retail shelf has a front side and a rear side. The retail shelf includes a fixed portion and a displaceable portion. The displaceable portion is configured to be moved between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration relative to the fixed portion. The fixed portion includes a coupling feature configured to couple the fixed portion to a retail display to maintain the location of the fixed portion relative to the retail display. The displaceable portion is configured to support a plurality of retail trays.

Abstract: A retail merchandise pusher tray is provided. The tray includes a base structure that includes at least one divider mounted to the base structure and extending upwardly from the base structure. A front stop is mounted at the front end of the base structure. At least one pusher is slidably mounted to the base structure. The pusher further includes a bottom wall and a pair of sidewalls extending upwardly from the bottom wall in an opposed space relation. A front wall of the pusher extends upwardly from the bottom wall. The front wall includes a base portion and a projection portion. The projection portion extends upwardly and diagonally away from the base portion to an upper edge. The upper edge of the projection portion is forward of the base portion.

Abstract: A retail merchandise pusher system that includes a front fence configured to attach to a shelf, and a plurality of single-piece track and divider assemblies. Each single-piece track and divider assembly has a divider attached to a track, and is configured to attach to the front fence by means of a connector. The retail merchandise pusher system also includes a pusher assembly for each of the plurality of single-piece track and divider assemblies. Each pusher assembly is configured to slide along its respective track. The pusher assembly has a pusher paddle, and a spring to bias the pusher paddle towards the front fence.

Abstract: A theft detection device, configured to be coupled to a product, includes a light sensor, a motion sensor, an emitter configured to emit a signal, and a controller coupled to the light sensor, the motion sensor, and the emitter. The controller is configured to determine a light level sensed by the light sensor. The controller is also configured to determine, via the motion sensor, whether the theft detection device is in motion. Further, the controller is configured to operate the emitter based on the sensed motion of the theft detection device and the light level sensed by the light sensor. The controller is further configured to deactivate the theft protection device when the light sensor detects a coded light sequence.

Abstract: A signal emitting retail device is provided. The signal emitting retail device includes a sensor and an emitter. The emitter is configured to emit a signal when the sensor senses removal of merchandise from a merchandise display structure. The sensor is also configured to sense potential theft conditions. The emitter is configured to emit a signal indicative of potential theft conditions when such conditions are sensed by the sensor.
