Track and divider assembly

Abstract

A merchandise display system includes a base and divider assembly, wherein the base and divider assembly includes a base portion adapted for operative coupling to a front rail and a divider portion for dividing displayed merchandise into rows, wherein the divider portion protrudes from the base portion. A pusher track is defined on one of the base portion and the divider portion and accommodates a spring urged pusher. A flange protrudes away from the divider such that the flange extends in a direction away from the track.

1 . A merchandise display system comprising:
 a base and divider assembly which includes a base portion and a divider portion that protrudes from the base portion such that the divider portion is located along a side edge of the base portion;   a pusher track defined on one of the base portion and the divider portion;   a spring urged pusher mounted to the pusher track; and   a flange protruding from a side of the divider such that the flange extends in a direction away from the track.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the divider portion is of one piece with the base portion. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the divider portion is selectively detachable from the base portion. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the flange extends in a plane located above a bottom surface of the base portion. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4  wherein a top surface of the flange extends in a plane coincident with a top surface of the pusher track. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5  wherein the top surface of the pusher track is defined by at least one rail. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6  wherein a bottom surface of the flange is located above the bottom surface of the base portion. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the divider portion and the base portion are made of different materials. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the divider portion is transparent. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising a front rail to which the base and divider assembly can be selectively secured. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising an end member including a base and a divider protruding from the base. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the track is defined on the base portion. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the divider portion forms one side edge of the base and divider assembly.
