Abstract:
A device for moving forward in a simple and efficient manner articles of a given dimension placed on a shelf having a front edge in order to facilitate frontal display of said articles, the device comprising:positioning means installed on the shelf in such a way as to extend in parallel relationship with respect to the front edge of said shelf, said positioning means comprising at least one rod installed on the shelf in parallel relationship with respect to the front edge of said shelf; two side rails acting as a support for the articles, each of said side rails comprising: a top side; a bottom side; two lateral sides; a front end; a back end; and fastening means for connecting said side rail onto the positioning means at any distance away from the other side rail depending on the size of the articles; said side rails once installed extending in parallel relationship perpendicularly to the front edge of the shelf; a central rail comprising; a top side; a bottom side; two lateral sides; a front end; a back end; and fastening means for connecting said central rail on said positioning means between the two side rails in parallel relationship with respect thereto; a backstop assembly mounted in such a way as to slide on the central rail, said backstop assembly extending vertically in order to come into contact with the articles supported on the side rails; and a puller member mounted on the central rail in such a way as to extend in parallel relationship with respect to the side rails, said puller member allowing, when the articles stay on the side rails in front of the backstop assembly, to displace the backstop assembly toward the front end of the central rail and thus move forward the articles closer to the front edge of the shelf.
