Abstract:
1. A pusher merchandising system adapted to be attached to a shelf having a shelf surface and front shelf edge for displaying merchandise items at the front shelf comprising: a) a shelf attachment portion that is shaped and configured to attach to a forward edge of a merchandise shelf, the forward edge being adjacent the front shelf edge, the shelf attachment portion including b) a divider portion having a proximal end and a distal end, the divider portion including a divider block at an end thereof, at least one divider portion surface extending horizontally substantially between the proximal and distal ends of the divider portion, an essentially planar divider extending outwardly from the divider block essentially perpendicularly to the divider portion surface and an attachment means disposed at said proximal end adapted for connection to said shelf attachment portion; c) an elongate pusher track, the pusher track having a longitudinally extending base, a proximal end and a distal end defining a track direction, at least one pusher surface extending substantially between the proximal and distal ends, the pusher surface extending laterally beyond the base thereby defining a cantilevered extension at each lateral edge of the pusher surface, and an attachment means disposed at said proximal end adapted for connection to said attachment portion; and d) a pusher member having a connecting base and a facing pushing surface extending therefrom, the connecting base including a pusher base connection mechanism for cooperation with the cantilevered extension of said pusher track to maintain the pushing face oriented in a direction essentially perpendicular to the track direction and providing a bias in the direction toward the connecting base,
