  • Patent number: 6820754
    Abstract: A product feed apparatus for feeding a row of products towards the front edge of a shelf has an elongate track mounted on the shelf so as to extend from a rear edge to the front edge of the shelf. A pusher member is slidably mounted in the track for engaging the rearmost product of a row of products supported on the track, and a biasing mechanism biases the pusher member towards the front edge of the track so as to advance product to the front edge of the shelf. The biasing mechanism includes a plurality of identical elongate, resilient biasing elements which can be releasably secured between the front end of the pusher member and the track so as to move the pusher member along the track. The user selects the number of biasing elements to be used based on the size and weight of product to be advanced.
