RETAIL SYSTEMS
A shelving system for replenishing a stock of a product. The shelving system uses gondolas each having a base, a support structure coupled to the base, and a shelf coupled to the support structure. The system has a first configuration that provides access to the front of the shelf but not to the back of the shelf. The system has a second configuration that provides access to the back of the shelf so as to enable replenishment of the stock by adding additional product from the back of the shelf.

Expandable merchandising system
This merchandising tray system is capable of adjustment for width and depth to accommodate any size of shelving unit. Within the system, a rear tray base is slidably connected to a fore tray base, allowing for adjustment of the depth of the system on the shelf. A merchandise pusher is continuously slidable within a fore pusher track in the fore tray base and a rear pusher track in the rear tray base. Right and left fore sidewalls are removably mounted to the fore tray base, allowing for lateral expansion of the system. Rear sidewalls are slidably extendable from the fore sidewalls, allowing for further alteration of the depth of the system.
Expandable retail pusher display
An expandable product pusher display for displaying products while urging the products to the front of the display as they are removed by consumers. Left and right end caps support plural tiers of product pusher assemblies, each including left and right product platforms with pushers having springs arranged to urge the products forwardly. Each tier includes a scissor mechanism expandably disposed between the left and right product platforms, and configured to adjust the distance therebetween while maintaining parallel alignment, so as to accommodate products of different width through adjustment of the scissor mechanisms.
PRODUCT MERCHANDISE DISPLAY WITH RESILIENT PRODUCT PACKAGE RETAINER
A merchandise display includes a display base having a surface arranged to hold one or more longitudinal rows of product containers. The display base has either (i) an elevation of its back end higher than its forward end or (ii) a pusher arranged to urge product containers on the display surface toward the forward end. A retainer is mounted on the display proximate the forward end. The retainer is made as a single structure of at least one resilient material. The retainer is deflectable with reference to its mounting point to enable moving product containers onto and from the display surface by deflection. The retainer is sufficiently resistant to bending to retain a longitudinally full row of product containers on the product display surface.

Shelf element for a shelf system of a rack, extruded profile, shelf frame, shelf system and rack
The invention relates to a shelf element (1) for a shelf of a rack. The shelf element (1) comprises an upper side (2), a lower side (3) and an elongated main body (6). The main body (6), as seen in cross-section, has two limb portions (6.1, 6.2) and an intermediate portion (6.3) located therebetween, wherein the intermediate portion (6.3) is assigned to the upper side (2) of the shelf element (1). The main body (6) also has at least one through-passage opening (7) that passes through at least one of the limb portions (6.1, 6.2) and/or the intermediate portion (6.3) transversely with respect to the longitudinal extent of the main body (6). In addition at least one coupling location (10) is provided in each case in the area of the longitudinal-side ends (8, 9) of the shelf element (1), which coupling location (10) is configured to couple an add-on part and/or a shelf component and/or a rack component. At least one rib (12) is provided, which is assigned to the intermediate portion (6.3) and has a longitudinal extent in the longitudinal direction of the main body (6). In addition or alternatively, a separate reinforcing element (50) is assigned to the main body (6), in order to reinforce the main body (6) against forces acting transversely with respect to its longitudinal extent. Furthermore, the invention comprises an extruded profile (40) for manufacturing such a shelf element (1; 3). In addition, the invention comprises a shelf frame, a shelf system and a rack.
ANTI-SWEEPING HOOK WITH INTEGRATED INVENTORY MONITORING AND/OR LOSS PREVENTION FUNCTIONALITY
An anti-sweeping hook includes a display hook, a helical coil, and a rotating handle. The display hook may be substantially straight and has a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The helical coil is disposed about the display hook and extends along a lengthwise portion of the display hook. The helical coil has a first coil end proximate the first end of the display hook. Rotation of the helical coil in a first direction loads the retail merchandise onto the display hook. Rotation of the helical coil in a second direction opposite the first direction removes the retail merchandise from the display hook. The rotating handle is configured to determine a change in an amount of stored inventory based on the amount and direction of rotation of the rotating handle.
Retail merchandise tray
A retail merchandise tray assembly is provided. The tray assembly may have an adjustable divider. The tray assembly may have a sign adaptor for mounting a sign to the divider. The tray assembly may have an accessory clip. The tray assembly may have a pivotable front stop. The tray assembly may have sign holders mounted to a front stop. The tray assembly may include signs mounted within a sign holder that is mounted to the front stop. The divider may be powder coated while the divider mounts may be free of painting. Methods are also provided.
Product management display system with trackless pusher mechanism
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.
