  • Patent number: 11800928
    Abstract: A product display unit is for displaying products and includes base with a body extending between the base ends and the base sides. A base further includes a first rib and a second rib each extending from the body in a first vertical direction and defining a channel defined therein. A slot vertically extends through the body and is vertically aligned with the channel. A pair of projections extend from the body in a second vertical direction opposite the first vertical direction and define a void therebetween. The projections and the void are in vertical alignment with the first rib. A divider having a bottom side and a tab extending in the second vertical direction from the bottom side is coupled to the base. The tab includes transversely extending barb.
