  • Publication number: 20080016740
    Abstract: An integrally extruded price tag molding and front-end stop plate for use on a flat shelf or inclined gravity-feed shelf, wherein the height of the stop plate may be designed to safely keep contents of each dispensing track from falling onto the floor. The angle of the price tag molding may be designed to facilitate its viewing by the consumer. The mounting rail clamp portion of the unit may be designed to facilitate the installation of the unit onto the front rail of any shelf in the display. The upper and lower price tag channels may be designed in order to accept a variety of labelling media or advertising indicia.

  • Publication number: 20060113262
    Abstract: A shelf divider member for use with gravity feed shelving systems, having outwardly-extending connector clips at each end, the shelf divider formed of generally elongated L-shaped divider member having a lowered connection point to the associated gravity feed shelf unit at the front, and an elevate+d connection point at the rear. Generally V-shaped divider guests extend downwardly from the elongated divider member to facilitate maintaining gravity feed product within the flow lanes. A plastic slide track sheet associated with the gravity feed shelf unit can be readily removed for cleaning, replacement and reinsertion, all without requiring any removal, including of any portion, of the respective shelf divider members.

  • Publication number: 20040178156
    Abstract: Flat, horizontal gondola shelving is converted to inclined gravity-feed shelving using an adapter with an inclined sheet supporting a bearing surface, a leg extending downwardly from a rear of the inclined sheet, which is received in a gap between a flat gondola shelf and a rear wall of the shelving unit supporting the shelf, a ledge extending forwardly of the leg, spaced from the rear of the inclined sheet, to lift the rear of the inclined sheet off the rear of the flat shelf, and a stop member along the front of the inclined sheet. Front end stop extensions may be provided to keep product from falling over the stop member along the front.

  • Publication number: 20040094384
    Abstract: An apparatus and method that effects selectable width of a roller track conveyance system having multiple roller tracks with asymmetric wall heights. The system includes a clip that connects lower or mating walls of two single roller tracks together. The connected roller tracks each have their own set of rollers, which form respective dispensing surfaces. A removable divider bar, which is capable of being selectively placed into the clips between the connected roller tracks, may be placed to divide the dispensing surfaces into separate surfaces or may be selectively removed to form a larger, single dispensing surface.

  • Publication number: 20030019714
    Abstract: A gravity feed roller track and method of manufacturing same are disclosed. The roller track includes a roller tray in which a plurality of rollers are frictionally held. The tray includes a bottom wall from which first and second side supports normally extend. Each of the side supports is substantially z-shaped in vertical cross-section. More specifically, each of the side shapes includes upper and lower vertical sections laterally spaced by an angled extension wall. A plurality of recesses are provided in the extension walls and lower vertical support wall for receipt of hubs of each of the rollers. The tracks allow for smooth rolling and dispensing of product from the roller track, accommodate a range of product sizes, and enable a single size roller to be used with tracks of various width.
