A display tray system including a first tray defining an outer perimeter of the display tray system, a second tray having at least three outer walls defining an outer perimeter of the display tray system, a first corner having a first height at a junction of two of the at least three outer walls, a second corner having a height equal to the first corner at a junction of two of the at least three outer walls, a joining wall defining an inner border with the first tray, a third corner at a junction of the joining wall and one of the at least three outer walls, a fourth corner at a junction of the joining wall and one of the at least three outer walls, and a joining member coupled to the joining wall of the first tray and coupled to the joining wall of the second tray to couple the first and second trays together and provide vertical support.

A retail merchandise tray is provided. The retail merchandise tray includes a frame for supporting retail merchandise, a pusher that slides along the frame, and at least one movable divider assembly adjustable positionable relative to the frame, the divider assembly including a movable baffle plate extension.

An adjustable tray for a merchandise display system may include a retainer for limiting the movement of products loaded in the adjustable tray, a first divider extending from a first panel and second divider extending from a second panel. The spacing between the first divider and the second divider can be configured to be adjusted. The first panel and the second panel can be configured to move to provide additional surface area for the adjustable tray to accommodate different sized products. The adjustable tray may further include a pusher mechanism configured to bias product toward the retainer.

Disclosed is a system for real-time measurement of inventory on shelves. The system uses light sensors placed in association with the inventory and the shelves to measure in real-time the removal/replacement of inventory from the shelves. When inventory is on the shelves, less light reaches the light sensors. As inventory is removed from shelves, the light sensors receive more light. The difference in light received generates as signal that can be measured, thereby allowing for determining inventory levels on each shelf. The system may be retro-fitted to existing shelving systems, thereby avoiding the cost of purchasing new shelving systems. The system can work on any shelving system, including gravity-feed roller shelf (GRS), flat shelves, and spring loaded pusher shelves, and is unaffected by usual temperatures found in retail establishments and can thus work in both refrigerated and unrefrigerated systems. Also disclosed are related methods.

A coupling mechanism which supports an inventory divider within a storage bin. The coupling mechanism comprises a joint extension and a holding mechanism. The coupling mechanism is coupled to an interior wall of a supply bin. An inventory divider is inserted into the joint extension and is rotated within the joint extension between and upper and lower position within the storage bin. The holding mechanism of the coupling mechanism retains the inventory divider in the upper position, dividing the storage bin into two compartments. By retaining the inventory divider with a holding mechanism that is not directly connected to the bin, the wear on the holding mechanism is substantially reduced and the inventory divider is more secure.

A shelving system and its method of formation. The shelving system comprises a shelf including a support plate, a front edge lip connected to a front portion of the support plate, and a back support edge connected to a back portion of the support plate. The back support edge has an elongated slot. A divider is mounted on the support plate and includes a main portion having a first end and a second end, with a first tab attached to the main portion at the first end and engaging a slit in the front edge lip and a second tab attached to the main portion at the second end, the second tab being provided with a flange, said flange being formed with a hole. A fastener passes through the hole in the flange and the elongated slot in the back support edge to adjustably secure the divider to the shelf.

A product divider assembly includes a rail and a divider. The rail includes a front surface having a plurality of first teeth and a rear surface formed on an opposite side of the rail from the front surface. The divider includes a base having a bottom side including plurality of second teeth facing the plurality of first teeth of the rail and one or more biasing members engaging the rear surface of the rail to bias the rail in a direction towards the plurality of first teeth. The divider is operable to be pulled in an opposite direction from the biasing force to disengage the first teeth from the second teeth to allow the divider to be translated along the rail.

A retail merchandise tray is provided. The retail merchandise tray includes a frame, a pusher that slides along the frame, at least one divider, and at least one baffle plate extension slidable relative to the divider and the frame.

A retail merchandise tray and display incorporating the same are provided. The display includes a shelf and the tray mounted to the shelf. The tray includes a pair of opposed mounting rails with at least one tray section situated between the first and second mounting rails. A support leg is mounted to the first mounting rail and elevates a back end of the retail merchandise tray relative to a front end.

Disclosed are discrete gravity feed merchandise-advancement seats for use on a shelf support. The seats have a width having two sides and a length, a merchandise-advancement mechanism retention element disposed on each side along the length, and a merchandise-advancement mechanism disposed in retention elements. A driver is disposed in combination with the seat. A guide channel on each side of the driver surrounds the two retention elements so that the driver can traverse the length of the seat and provide vertical and horizontal stability to the driver. The seats may have attachment mechanisms on front and rear edges that attach to mating attachment mechanisms proximal the front and rear of the shelf support. Dividers cooperate with the seats to provide merchandise display channels. Attachment mechanisms disposed proximal the front and rear of the shelf support allow for adjustable lateral placement of the seats and dividers.
