Abstract:
1. A product display apparatus comprising: a frame, a product slide mechanism supported on the frame, said product slide mechanism including spaced front and rear end portions with the front end portion being lower than the rear end portion so as to define a forwardly descending product travel path therebetween, a first product stop mechanism supported adjacent the front end portion of the product slide mechanism such that a product on the product slide mechanism slides forwardly thereon and engages with the first product stop mechanism so as to be retained thereby against further forward movement in a forwardmost position; and a second stop mechanism disposed along the slide mechanism in predetermined offset relation generally rearward from the first stop mechanism, the second stop mechanism being movable into product blocking and non-blocking orientations in which a portion of the second stop mechanism, respectively, blocks and permits forward movement of products on the product slide mechanism, the second stop mechanism being biased to the blocking orientation, and wherein the product in the forwardmost position can be removed from the product display apparatus by a user; and responsive to force applied generally downwardly by the product in the forwardmost position, the second stop mechanism moving against the biasing so as to assume the non-blocking orientation.
