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 29):
A merchandise display system comprising:\n a front rail that is mountable to a shelf; a first floor configured to engage the front rail, a portion of the first floor having a first front lock; and a first pusher mechanism coupled to the first floor and configured to slide in a same plane as a surface of the shelf and in a direction perpendicular to the front rail, a first front barrier mounted to the first floor wherein an actuator of the first lock is positioned in front of the first front barrier, the first front lock is shiftable between a first position and a second position, wherein the first front lock when in the first position permits slidable movement of the first floor relative to the front rail in a direction perpendicular to the front rail, and the first front lock prevents slidable movement of the first floor in a direction perpendicular to the front rail when in the second position, and a second floor configured to engage the front rail, a portion of the second floor having a second front lock; and a second pusher mechanism coupled to the second floor and configured to slide in a same plane as a surface of the shelf and in a direction perpendicular to the front rail and a second front barrier mounted to the second floor wherein an actuator of the second lock is positioned in front of the second front barrier, the second front lock is shiftable between a first position and a second position, wherein the second front lock when in the first position permits slidable movement of the second floor relative to the front rail in a direction perpendicular to the front rail, the second front lock prevents slidable movement of the second floor in a direction perpendicular to the front rail when in the second position; wherein the first front lock and the second front lock are configured to stay in the first position such that both the first floor and the second floor can be moved simultaneously in a direction perpendicular to the front rail and wherein the first front lock and the second front lock are configured to stay in the second position such that the first floor and the second floor remain locked to the front rail; and wherein the first positions of the first front lock and the second front lock are unlocked positions and the second positions of the first front lock and the second front lock are locked positions and wherein the first front lock and the second front lock are configured to be independently locked or unlocked such that the first floor and the second floor can be adjusted together or independently of one another.
