Abstract:
A product management display system for merchandising product on a shelf includes using a trackless pusher mechanism that travels along a surface on which product is placed and one or more dividers for separating product into rows. The one or more dividers may be engaged to a front rail in two different conditions, locked and unlocked. In a locked condition, the relationship between the divider and the front rail resists alteration in any direction with respect to each other. In the unlocked condition, the dividers may be freely slid laterally along the front rail, while remaining perpendicular to the front rail. The one or more dividers may lock to the front rail through the use of corresponding teeth, resilient surfaces, a locking tab, a locking bar and/or a cam that may define a cam glide.

Claim (Index 25):
A merchandise display system comprising:\n a front rail that is mountable to a shelf, a plurality of dividers each configured to engage the front rail, each of the plurality of dividers including a divider floor defining a front end, a front barrier extending from the front end of the divider floor, a front lock mounted to the front end of the divider floor in front of the front barrier, at least one pusher mechanism configured to engage the front rail, wherein the front lock is configured to be accessible by a user's thumb or finger when product is on the divider floor and without having to push product back away from the front barrier, wherein the front lock is movable between a first unlocked position and a second locked position, wherein the front lock is configured to stay in the first unlocked position when moved to the first unlocked position, and is configured to stay in the second locked position when moved to the second locked position, wherein the front lock when in the first unlocked position permits slidable movement of the divider floor relative to the front rail in a direction parallel to the front rail, wherein the front lock prevents slidable movement of the divider floor in a direction parallel to the front rail when in the second locked position, and wherein when the front lock on each of the plurality of dividers is in the first unlocked position all of the plurality of dividers are slidable simultaneously relative to the front rail.
