The first portion projects rearwardly from the front panel. The first portion and the second portion have opposite forward and rearward edges. The first portion forward edge is adjacent the front panel. The second portion forward edge is closer to the front panel than the second portion rearward edge. The first portion top peripheral edge has a region tapering toward the first portion rearward edge. The second portion top peripheral edge has a region tapering toward the second portion forward edge.

  • Method of using shelf divider system
    Patent number: 10117528
    Abstract: First and second shelf partitions for containing and displaying bagged food on point-of-sale shelving are accessed.

The first partition is attached to the shelf such that the front panel is adjacent to an aisle facing side the shelf and a rearward edge of the adjustable side panel is adjacent to a rear side of the shelf. The second shelf partition is attached to the shelf such that the front panel is adjacent to the rear side of the shelf and the rearward edge of the adjustable side panel is adjacent to the aisle facing side of the shelf. The second partition is spaced from the first partition a distance to accommodate placing bagged food on the shelf between the side panels of the first and second partitions and partially behind the first partition front panel.
