A product positioned in the system can contact the barrier when the product moves toward the forward end of the system and rotate the barrier from the folded position to the upright position. The system may include a rotational mounting structure to which the moveable barrier is connected. The rotational mounting structure may be removably connected to the forward end of the divider. The merchandise display system may be used in conjunction with a product tray which provides for product stored in the product tray to be slid from in the product tray into the product pocket of the merchandise display system. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A merchandise display system comprising: a front rail configured to be secured to a shelf; a floor member connected to the front rail and including a floor forward end, a floor rearward end, and a floor top surface; a divider wall extending upwardly from the floor member; a rotational mounting structure positioned proximate the floor forward end of the floor member; and a rotatable barrier moveable between a folded position and an upright position and connected to the rotational mounting structure, a top edge of a rear surface of the rotatable barrier being rounded off, wherein the rear surface of the rotatable barrier is positioned above the floor top surface of the floor member when the rotatable barrier is in the folded position. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The merchandise display system of claim 1, wherein a front surface of the rotatable barrier is configured to engage a surface of the rotational mounting structure when the rotatable barrier rotates from the folded position to the upright position. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The merchandise display system of claim 2, wherein the surface of the rotational mounting structure is a vertical surface. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The merchandise display system of claim 1, wherein a front surface of the rotatable barrier is a vertical surface. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The merchandise display system of claim 1, wherein a front surface of the rotatable barrier is a front surface of a rotatable barrier handle. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The merchandise display system of claim 1, wherein the rotational mounting structure is removably connected to the floor forward end. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The merchandise display system of claim 1, wherein the floor member is configured to releasably engage the front rail. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The merchandise display system of claim 1, wherein the floor member and the divider wall are configured to slide in a lateral direction along the front rail. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The merchandise display system of claim 1, wherein the rotational mounting structure includes a first knuckle component and the rotatable barrier includes a second knuckle component, wherein a pin extends through the first knuckle component and the second knuckle component to form a hinge for rotational attachment of the rotatable barrier to the rotational mounting structure. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The merchandise display system of claim 1, wherein the rotational mounting structure includes a rotational stop structure configured to engage the rotatable barrier and stop rotation of the rotatable barrier toward the folded position. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The merchandise display system of claim 10, wherein the rotational stop structure is a protrusion positioned proximate a lower portion of the rear surface of the rotatable barrier such that the lower portion of the rear surface of the rotatable barrier contacts the rotational stop structure when the rotatable barrier reaches a folded angle in the folded position. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The merchandise display system of claim 1, wherein the floor member includes a pusher mechanism configured to slide along the floor top surface to move product toward the floor forward end. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The merchandise display system of claim 12, wherein the pusher mechanism includes a spring-urged pusher adapted to be coupled to the floor member and a coil spring adapted to urge the spring-urged pusher forward. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The merchandise display system of claim 13, wherein a first end of the coil spring is secured proximate the floor forward end and a second end of the coil spring is secured to the spring-urged pusher. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The merchandise display system of claim 1, wherein the floor member includes a first plurality of teeth adapted to engage a second plurality of teeth defined in the front rail. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The merchandise display system of claim 1, wherein the rotatable barrier defines a folded angle in between the rear surface of the rotatable barrier and the floor top surface when the rotatable barrier is in the folded position. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The merchandise display display system of claim 16, wherein the folded angle is between about 20 degrees and about 45 degrees. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The merchandise display system of claim 16, wherein the folded angle is about 20 degrees. ### Claim 19 (depends on 1) The merchandise display system of claim 1, wherein the rotatable barrier includes a resilient tab configured to engage a tab recess when the rotatable barrier reaches the upright position. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The merchandise display system of claim 19, wherein the tab recess is defined in the rotational mounting structure.
