The present invention relates to the technical field of shelves, particularly to a highly flexible shelf device, comprising a pallet and a plurality of divider modules and further comprising a plurality of cover plates and a plurality of position adjusting blocks. The divider modules are provided with a plurality of mounting positions, and the position adjusting blocks are mounted on the cover plates and detachably inserted in the mounting positions. The plurality of divider modules are spaced on the pallet, goods placement areas are formed between adjacent divider modules, and each placement area is covered with at least one of the cover plates. The present invention provides a highly flexible shelf device and adds the setting of the position adjusting blocks inserted in the mounting positions, thereby fixing the cover plates to the divider modules by means of the position adjusting blocks, i.e., facilitating the adjustment of the positions of the cover plates without affecting the stability of the cover plates and making the use more flexible.

Modular sweep detectors, systems, and methods for securing items of merchandise from theft and are provided. In one example, a modular sweep detector includes a housing configured to engage a pusher of a pusher device and a sensor configured to engage a biasing member of the pusher device. The biasing member is configured to be biased in response to movement of the pusher. The sensor is configured to detect movement of the pusher for determining if a predetermined number of items of merchandise have been removed from the pusher device.

A merchandising system includes a track extending from a first end to a second end. The merchandising system further includes a primary pusher slidably attached to the track between the first end and the second end. The merchandising system further includes a secondary pusher slidably attached to the track and operable to bias the primary pusher towards the first end. The merchandising system includes an actuator operable to bias the secondary pusher along the track. The actuator is connected to the secondary pusher and includes a grip disposed at the first end of the track for selectively biasing the secondary pusher along the track.

A retail merchandise pusher with a remote alarm feature is provided. The pusher includes a housing and an adaptor. The adaptor is removably coupled to the housing and slidably coupled to a track. The pusher including a shaft rotatable about its axis in a first and second direction and a gear wheel coupled to the shaft. The rotation of the gear wheel causing a first electrical contact to engage with a second electrical contact, such that the distance that the pusher moves along the track can be measured by totaling the number of times the first electrical contact engages with the second electrical contact.

A system includes a longitudinal rack storing a plurality of packs of cigarettes, a shoe movably attached to the rack, a magnet coupled to the shoe and a longitudinal circuit board arranged along the length of the rack. The circuit board includes an array of sensors along the length of the rack, wherein spacing between each pair of sensors equals a thickness of a pack stored in the rack. Each sensor generates a voltage value depending on a position of the magnet in relation to the sensor. The circuit board further includes a memory storing voltage values generated by the sensors, and a processor configured to monitor voltage values generated by the sensors, detect that a particular sensor has generated a maximum voltage value and determine a number of packs stored in the rack based on a particular number of packs corresponding to the particular sensor.

A product management display system for merchandising product on a shelf includes a tray having a front curved portion and a surface defining a plurality of glide rails, a tip extending from the front curved portion of the tray wherein the tip has a first edge, a second edge, and a third edge and wherein at least two of the edges are substantially straight, a mounting member positioned behind the tip wherein the mounting member is a slot, a product retaining member positioned above the front curved portion of the tray, a first divider and a second divider, and a pusher configured to engage the tray.

A merchandise display device includes a plurality of merchandise compartments, separated from one another by means of a merchandise divider, and displaceable slats delimiting these merchandise compartments in a common dispensing area. The merchandise display device has a base plate and two side walls connected to it. In addition, a slat rail carrying the slats is attached to both side walls. The merchandise display device that can be easily assembled and adapted.

A retail merchandise tray may have a load bearing member formed from a rail attached to a mounting plate. The mounting plate and rail forming a downward opening notch for mounting to a tray support structure. The tray may have a locating flange that carries a locating pin that engages a tray support structure. The locating pin locating the tray along the tray support structure. The tray may have at least one divider assembly. The divider assembly includes outward extending offset projections that can prevent an adjacent tray from contacting the divider wall.

Modular sweep detectors, systems, and methods for securing items of merchandise from theft and are provided. In one example, a modular sweep detector includes a housing configured to engage a pusher of a pusher device and a sensor configured to engage a biasing member of the pusher device. The biasing member is configured to be biased in response to movement of the pusher. The sensor is configured to detect movement of the pusher for determining if a predetermined number of items of merchandise have been removed from the pusher device.

Sensor-equipped display management systems and methods that may be used to calculate a number of products removed from a display management system based upon motion of one or more mechanisms within the display management system. Additionally, the systems and methods may be used to detect patterns from the sensor data, which may be indicative of attempted theft of products stored within the display management system.
