Abstract: A glide (20) includes a base (22), a front member, and a number of walls (26) extending front-to-back. Both the base and the front member are advantageously formed as a number of pieces secured side-by-side to provide expandability. The front member may be secured to the walls via dovetail interaction and different front members may be provided for different wall spacings.

Abstract: A merchandise display and service system is provided for a retail environment. The system includes a base and an upright support structure coupled to the base that are selectively arranged to define a variety of merchandise display and service areas. The upright support structure may include vertically oriented tubular posts, horizontal cross-bars and panel members, a pair of the cross-bars are coupled to a pair of posts and at least one panel member extends between the pair of posts and cross-bars to separate each merchandise display and service area. The merchandise display and service areas may include a first area having merchandise support hardware coupled to a tubular post or a panel member for supplying an inventory of merchandise offered for sale to prospective purchasers and a second area containing components operable by prospective purchasers of services provided by the components.

Abstract: The present invention is a glide for holding products. The glide includes a base, a number of wall members and at least two product stops. The wall members are removably installed on the base and cooperate to define one or more channels. Each channel is dimensioned for accommodating a column of the products. The product stops are coupled to one of the wall members and the base at a forward extremity of each channel. A front edge of each wall includes a vertically-extending projection, engagable to a complementary channel of one of the product stops. When installed, the product stop has surfaces cooperating with the base to prevent removal of the installed walls unless the product stops are partially removed. Additionally, the product stops have portions extending from side surfaces of the walls to inhibit horizontal translation of products along and past the forward extremities of the channels. In a one-channel glide, the product stops include a right and a left product stop.

Abstract: A display system can accommodate a number of products. The system includes one or more modules. Each module may be mounted on a support wall and includes back and shelf portions. Advantageously, a number of modules are arranged in a number of rows, one row above another. A number of dividers are removably secured to at least one of the walls and may be moved in stepwise or continuous fashion to separate groups of the products within each row. Various of the modules may include hook bars secured to the back wall portions for hanging certain of the products and/or space thieves removably secured to the shelf portions for forwardly offsetting stacked or hung products.
