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 22):
A merchandise display system comprising:\n a front rail that is mountable to a shelf; a first divider floor configured to engage the front rail and to hold product, the first divider floor comprising a first divider wall extending upwardly from the first divider floor, a portion of the first divider floor having a first front lock; and a first pusher mechanism coupled to the front rail 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 divider floor wherein an actuator of the first lock is positioned in front of the first front barrier, wherein the first front lock actuator is in front of the first divider wall and is configured to be digitally accessible by a user's thumb or finger when product is on the first divider floor without having to push product back on the first divider floor, 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 divider 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 divider floor in a direction perpendicular to the front rail when in the second position, and a second divider floor configured to engage the front rail and to hold product, the second divider floor comprising a second divider wall extending upwardly from the second divider floor, a portion of the second divider floor having a second front lock; and a second pusher mechanism coupled to the front rail 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 divider floor wherein an actuator of the second lock is positioned in front of the second front barrier and wherein the second front lock actuator is in front of the first divider wall and is configured to be digitally accessible by a user's thumb or finger when product is on the second divider floor without having to push product back on the second divider floor, 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 divider floor relative to the front rail in a direction perpendicular to the front rail, the second front lock prevents slidable movement of the second divider 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 divider floor and the second divider 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 divider floor and the second divider 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 divider floor and the second divider floor can be adjusted together or independently of one another.
