  • Patent number: 8967393
    Abstract: The system of the present application includes a display tray assembly having base and center tray sections that are configured to form a gap that receives a side tray section on either side.

In lieu of side tray sections, the display tray assembly may include union tray sections that may engage two separate base and center tray section assemblies in order to create a continuous display tray assembly with adjustable widths.
