A product management display system for merchandising product on a shelf includes a divider secured to a support structure, a pusher to move product, a barrier, and a low product indicator device. The low product indicator device may be visible when an amount of product positioned on the top surface of the divider floor or on the shelf is low.

A product management display system for merchandising product on a shelf includes using a trackless pusher mechanism that travels along a surface on which product is placed and one or more dividers for separating product into rows. The one or more dividers may be engaged to a front rail in two different conditions, locked and unlocked. In a locked condition, the relationship between the divider and the front rail resists alteration in any direction with respect to each other. In the unlocked condition, the dividers may be freely slid laterally along the front rail, while remaining perpendicular to the front rail. The one or more dividers may lock to the front rail through the use of corresponding teeth, resilient surfaces, a locking tab, a locking bar and/or a cam.

A storage frame for ball caps. It is a form that has a flat base that is formed into the general shape of a large ball cap. Spines extends upward from the base in a semi-circular form around the back of the base. A semi-circular form holds the rear spines, and provides a finished look to the device. On the base, flexible pieces of plastic make a smaller form, in the shape of a ball cap. This lower form is used to hold the caps, which can be stacked up as desired. The rear four pieces are secured at the tops of the bowed pieces with a screw and nut.

Item trays include an optional product advancing member, a tray-like lower support, and a pair of side supports, at least one of them being deflectable and inwardly biased, that accommodate merchandise queues of various item widths by a self-adjusting clamping action. A biasing member supplying the clamping force of the side support(s) may be preloaded. Display systems include a plurality of such trays supported by a rear mounting wall providing a plurality of tray mounting locations to provide modular configurability of tray positions, thus accommodating different products on separate trays. The display systems may be built around a wire frame and include display supporting members, such as suitable slot members, for receiving and retaining a full length side graphic panel. The item trays may be used in a merchandise dispensing method for items of like dimensions.

Devices and methods for displaying beauty and other visual products are disclosed. A display system can comprise a frame and a sample portion. Traits such as color and texture of a beauty product can be displayed on the sample portion, and the frame portion can interface with product shelving to align samples with relevant products in the display. The sample portion can be releasably attached to the frame to be removed by a user and be placed above a body part of the user to which a beauty product may be applied, or a body part can be placed in proximity to the sample portion even while it is attached to the frame. The user can advantageously view the beauty product as applied to the body part without applying the beauty product. The system is useful for fingernail polish display, for example.

A merchandising system that improves the merchandising of product by limiting the number and the frequency with which product can be removed from, for example, a merchandising shelf. The merchandising system may include a base configured to support product and a housing configured to engage the base. The housing may comprise a top wall, a first side wall, a second side wall, and a front retaining wall mounted to the base at an angle. The system may further include a spring-urged pusher movably mounted on the base. The system may further include an opening defined by the first side wall and the front retaining wall through which product may be removed.

A product management display system for merchandising product on a shelf includes using a trackless pusher mechanism that travels along a surface on which product is placed and one or more dividers for separating product into rows. The one or more dividers may be engaged to a front rail in two different conditions, locked and unlocked. In a locked condition, the relationship between the divider and the front rail resists alteration in any direction with respect to each other. In the unlocked condition, the dividers may be freely slid laterally along the front rail, while remaining perpendicular to the front rail. The one or more dividers may lock to the front rail through the use of corresponding teeth, resilient surfaces, a locking tab, a locking bar and/or a cam that may define a cam glide.

A storage system 1 for storing items 20, the storage system comprising: a frame 10 having a plurality of columns 11 spaced apart, each column comprising a track (12, FIG. 3) extending at least partially in a vertical direction, the tracks of adjacent columns together defining a slot for slidably receiving a plurality of items, wherein the frame is configured to retain the items such that a first item at least partially bears the weight of a second item. Also described are a method (40, FIG. 4) for assembling the storage system and a method (50, FIG. 5) of exchanging items.

A merchandise display system can include a pusher extender that increases the pushing surface of the pusher. The pusher extender may define an elongated pusher body having a cavity. The pusher extender may be configured to slide over the pusher wall via the cavity like a sleeve. The pusher extender with an enlarged, substantially planar surface thereby creates an enlarged pushing surface for pushing larger products toward the front of the display system. The pusher extender can also be provided with an angled pusher surface to accommodate larger products. The display system can be mounted to a rear hang bar located towards the back of the shelf. A hanger may be positioned within a cavity formed in the divider and extend the length of the divider. The hook end of the hanger may then be positioned on the hang bar and the entire system may cantilever out from the hang bar.

A dish assembly includes a pair of folding panels and a support platform. A bottom of the pair of folding panels are retained in the support platform. Each pair of folding panels includes a first vertical member and a second vertical member. At least one slot opening is formed in each vertical member. At least one slot opening is formed in the first and second vertical member. Each slot opening has an upper curved surface and a stability straight lower surface. The upper curved surface has at least a portion of which is a segment of an arc. The upper curved surface is located opposite the substantially straight lower surface. The upper curved surface having a height from a top end therefore to the substantially straight lower surface.
