  • Integrated shelf allocation management system
    Patent number: 8235226
    Abstract: Apparatuses for the efficient and safe organization of product on shelves. The backstop assemblies are capable of being utilized in a wide variety of shelving units. Because the backstop puller engages the front of the backstop, the backstop assemblies are able to be employed in shelves of various depths and allow for the customer to draw product toward the front of the shelving unit efficiently.

  • Integrated shelf allocation management system
    Patent number: 8066128
    Abstract: Apparatuses for the efficient and safe organization of product on shelves. The present invention encompasses shelving allocation units that are adjustable in a longitudinal direction to accommodate varying shelf depths. The present invention also provides for shelving allocation units that are adjustable in both the longitudinal direction, but also along an orthogonal axis. By being adjustable along an orthogonal axis, the shelving allocation units of the present invention may be adapted to accommodate various sizes of product. The present invention also includes novel backstop assemblies that may be adapted for use in shelves of various dimensions.
