  • Patent number: 9713395
    Abstract: A merchandising system including a track and a pusher. The track defines a longitudinal axis and includes a plurality of tabs. Each tab of the plurality of tabs includes a width that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The pusher member is configured to slide longitudinally with respect to the track. The pusher member includes at least one leg configured to mechanically engage the track. The track includes a discontinuity to facilitate removal of the pusher member from the track. The discontinuity includes at least one other tab having a width less than a width of an adjacent tab of the plurality of tabs.

  • Patent number: 9392882
    Abstract: A merchandising system for a displaying a plurality of products is disclosed. The system comprises a base and a pusher member. The base includes a product-supporting surface and a track disposed beneath the product-supporting surface. The base defines a longitudinal axis. The pusher member is disposed in mechanical cooperation with the base and is configured to slide longitudinally with respect to the base. The pusher member includes a base-contacting surface and a plurality of legs downwardly depending from the base-contacting surface. Each of the plurality of legs is configured to mechanically engage the track. The track includes a discontinuity to enable the legs of the pusher member to selectively mechanically engage the track.

  • Patent number: 8215795
    Abstract: A lighting assembly (9) for a standard in-store display shelf (2). The standard shelf is mounted on a standard in-store shelf bracket (4), having in-store header mounting hardware (6), which standard in-store display shelf (2) includes a conventional metal spring clip (10) for mounting a standard light fixture. The lighting assembly has a mount (11) for spring mounting to clip (10). The mount has rails (16-19), which form a pair of board channels (19A-B). A circuit board (20) slide mounts into the board channels. The circuit board serves as a mount for an array of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs).
