Abstract:
A modular merchandise display system comprising:a plurality of base trays each having a front end, a rear end, two opposing sides extending between said front and rear ends, and an elongated slot extending from proximate said front end to proximate said rear end, said front and rear ends defining a depth of the modular merchandise display system; a product pushing assembly slidably disposed in said elongated slot of each of said plurality of base trays, said pushing assembly being biased toward said front end of said base tray to automatically urge products being displayed toward said front end; a side wall extending upward from one of said two opposing sides of each of said plurality of base trays, said side wall being arranged substantially perpendicular to said base tray; means for selectively connecting each of said base trays with an adjacent base tray, wherein said side wall of a first base tray acts as one side of the merchandise display system and the side wall of a second adjacent base tray is selectively spaced from said side wall of the first base tray so as to create a product receiving space between the respective side walls, wherein said connecting means enables the product receiving space between said side walls to be selectively changed such that products of different size may be supported and displayed by the modular merchandise display system, wherein said connecting means comprises at least one adjustment wing extending outwardly from one of said two opposing sides of each of said base trays, said at least one adjustment wing having a plurality of holes extending along a length of said adjustment wing; and at least one pin-like projection disposed on an underside of each of said plurality of base trays and positionally aligned with said adjustment wing such that said pin-like projection is engageable with one of said plurality of holes in the at least one adjustment wing of an adjacent base tray.
