Abstract: A modular merchandise display unit comprising an upright, substantially vertical wall having opposite sides and a pair of opposite ends. The substantially vertical wall is normally positioned along a central axis of the merchandise display unit. A base is provided for supporting the upright wall, and this base includes a pair of axially-disposed sockets and a pair of offset sockets. The display unit further includes a plurality of elongated shelves with merchandise receiving surfaces. These shelves are removably connected to and extend outwardly from the opposite sides of the upright wall. Curved shelves are securable to the merchandising display unit at opposite ends of the upright walls. These curved shelves have merchandise receiving surfaces which may or may not merge smoothly with the surfaces of a pair of elongated shelves. Each pair of elongated shelves is disposed on the opposite sides of the upright walls.

Abstract: A container for support along a vertical surface, and comprising front and back walls, side walls, and a bottom wall, all made of a flexible plastic. The container has an open top end for the insertion and removal of goods to be displayed. The container also includes an upper rim providing support for and along the upper ends of the front, back, and side walls. A bottom rod has a pair of spaced apart ends, and circumscribes one or more of the back and side walls.

Abstract: A display and gravity dispensing apparatus comprising a housing having an opening in the front thereof and a plurality of elongated wire supports mounted in the housing having a downward inclination toward the opening of the housing. Trays for containing the goods to be dispensed are slidably secured on the elongated wire supports by a guide retainer and are maintained in a first angularly inclined position for dispensing the goods. The tray may be moved and supported in an extended position inclined at a greater angle for restocking the tray with the goods without removal of the tray from the housing.

Abstract: A product dispensing apparatus includes a support having a tray system supported thereon and the tray system includes front and rear walls interconnected by side walls and having a plurality of adjustable partitions extending between the front and rear walls to produce side-by-side trays. A guide member is located in each tray and slidably supports a pusher member which is biased toward the front wall. The support defines a stop to move all of the pusher members toward the rear wall when the tray system is moved from a product dispensing position to a product restocking position on the support.

Abstract: A dispensing unit includes a tray system including front, rear and side walls with partitions dividing the system into a plurality of trays and a support slidably supporting the tray system between a product dispensing position and a product restocking position. Each tray has a slot in its bottom between the front and rear walls with a pusher plate slidably supported in the slot and biased toward the front wall. The support has a stop which moves all of the pusher plates toward the rear wall when the tray system is moved to the restocking position and a latch mechanism holds the tray in the product dispensing position.
