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. A plurality of thin dividers separate the product into rows. The dividers may be formed separately and attached and secured by being inserted into a plurality of grooves arranged along the lower surface and the forward and rear support posts of the product dispensing tray. The dividers are configured to self-adjust by laterally shifting within the grooves when the product is moved forward by the pusher to being loaded by an operator to allow the product to be positioned in a tight fitting manner to maximize the amount of product that can be accommodated horizontally across the tray. In addition, the dividers may have a bottom wall spaced from the surface with a support column that is inserted into an elongated pocket to provide the structural support for the divider.

Claim (Index 10):
A product management display system comprising:\n a tray having a front end, a rear end, and a floor configured to support product, a plurality of forward support posts extending from the floor at the front end of the tray and a plurality of rear support posts extending from the floor at the rear end of the tray, a plurality of dividers connected to the tray, wherein each divider of the plurality of dividers has a first end, a second end, a wall extending between the first end and the second end, and having a bottom surface of the wall spaced from the floor of the tray creating an opening between the floor and the bottom surface, and wherein the plurality of dividers separate the tray into a plurality of product dispensing rows, a pusher mechanism configured to move product toward the front end of the tray within each product dispensing row; and wherein each product dispensing row of the plurality of product dispensing rows is configured such that a first product positioned in a first product dispensing row of the plurality of product dispensing rows contacts a second product positioned in an adjacent row through the opening between the bottom surface of one of the dividers and the floor of the tray.
