Abstract
A shelf management device including a guide member having a front end and a rear end, and a pusher device guided for movement by the guide member. Wherein the pusher device includes a rotatable spool upon which is wound a flexible drive member, an end part of the drive member being secured to the guide member at or adjacent the front end thereof. A spring is provided to urge the spool for rotation to take up the drive member and thereby apply a load to the pusher device urging the pusher device towards the front end of the guide member.
Claims18
A shelf management device comprising a guide member having a front end and a rear end, and a pusher device guided for movement by the guide member, wherein the pusher device comprises a rotatable spool upon which is wound a flexible drive member, an end part of the drive member being secured to the guide member at or adjacent the front end thereof, spring provided to urge the spool for rotation to take up the drive member and thereby apply a load to the pusher device urging the pusher device towards the front end of the guide member, and a damping arrangement adapted to damp the rotation of the spool and thereby damp the movement of the pusher device arising from the rotation of the spool.
A shelf management device comprising a guide member having a front end and a rear end, attachment formations provided at or adjacent the rear end for attachment to a mounting rail, and magnetic securing means provided at or adjacent the front end.
A shelf management device comprising a guide member having a front end and a rear end, a stop located at or adjacent the front end, wherein the stop means comprises a stop member pivotally mounted to the guide member about a pivot axis and moveable between a retaining position in which it extends substantially perpendicularly to the guide member, restricting stock movement, and a stocking position in which it extends substantially parallel to the guide member, allowing stock introduction, lying alongside the guide member, and bias means urging the stop member towards the retaining position, wherein the stop is cooperable with a part of the guide member to resist movement thereof under the action of the bias means when in the retaining position.
