Abstract: A product management display system for merchandising product on a shelf includes using a trackless pusher mechanism that travels along a surface on which product is placed and one or more dividers for separating product into rows. The one or more dividers may be engaged to a front rail in two different conditions, locked and unlocked. In a locked condition, the relationship between the divider and the front rail resists alteration in any direction with respect to each other. In the unlocked condition, the dividers may be freely slid laterally along the front rail, while remaining perpendicular to the front rail. The one or more dividers may lock to the front rail through the use of corresponding teeth, resilient surfaces, a locking tab, a locking bar and/or a cam.

Abstract: Disclosed is a display structure in which an insertion opening, slide grooves, a first fitting portion and a ridged portion along which the display plate bends when the display plate is bent arranged in the loading sections of a support body in a suitable manner to ensure that when the display plate is inserted into or removed from the loading unit, a force is exerted on both sides of the display plate in either the direction from the display surface side to the rear surface side thereof or the direction from the rear surface side to the display surface side thereof, and a force is exerted in another direction at the center region of the display plate. As a result of configuring in this manner, the display plate deforms so that the entire display surface side comes to have a convex or concave shape, thereby allowing the display plate to be attached to or detached from the support body without forcible localized deformation of the display plate.

Abstract: The invention is a decorative molding characterized by an elongate channel recessed into its front face and adapted to releasably retain an elongate strip-like panel in either a concavely-flexed position or a flat or convex position. Retention means for the releasable retention of the panel are incorporated into the channel. The retention means comprise two pairs of elongate, spaced-apart flanges that extend towards the floor of the channel and partly occlude the mouth of the channel. The flanges are shaped to retain a panel in a concave position within the channel by means of the upper and lower side edges of the panel being retained between respective pairs of flanges, or in a flat or convex position by means of retention between the free edges of the flanges and the floor of the channel.

Abstract: To create a three-dimensional impression from a normal two-dimensional planar photograph or picture, the photograph stand of the present invention maintains the photograph part-cylindrical, part-spherical or otherwise curved condition. It can be achieved by interposing the photograph between two curved shape retaining panels, or, alternatively, bringing the two side edges of the photograph or a resilient shape retaining panel on which the photograph is mounted closer together. The latter mode can be achieved by using suitable engagement portions or receiving the photograph in a transparent tube whose circumferential length is shorter than twice the lateral width of the photograph. By providing mirror surfaces on either side of the curved photograph, preferably with the mirror surfaces fanning out toward the front at an appropriate angle, the photograph stand can add not only a depth to the photograph but also an increased width to the photograph.

Abstract: A display card holder which securely holds and displays a directory card or the like for use in connection with shopping baskets. The holder has a releasable outer frame member which clamps the card to a backing member.
