Claims18
A retail merchandise tray for storing products therein, comprising:
- a frame having a first side, a second side opposite the first side, and a merchandise support surface for supporting merchandise, the frame having a first outermost extent and a second outermost extent;
- a pusher mounted to the frame and movable along the frame parallel to a first axis;
- a first divider assembly mounted to the frame, the first divider assembly movable relative to the frame parallel to a second axis perpendicular to the first axis, the first divider assembly including:
- a first divider wall positioned adjacent the first side of the frame, the first divider wall includes a generally planar first upright portion and a first projection portion that extends generally perpendicular to the first upright portion, the first projection portion extending inward from the first upright portion towards the second side, the first projection portion defining a first innermost extent of the first divider wall;
- first and second wire supports connecting the first divider wall to the frame, the first wire support, second wire support, and frame being configured such that the first and second wire supports are capable of sliding relative to the frame such that the position of the first divider wall relative to the frame parallel to the second axis may be adjusted between a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position, the first divider wall is closer to the frame than in the second positions, the first and second wire supports being spaced apart parallel to the first axis;
- wherein the first outermost extent of the frame is spaced from the second outermost extent of the frame parallel to the second axis;
- wherein the first divider wall and the frame are configured relative to one another such that the first divider wall may be positioned relative to the frame so that the first projection portion of the first divider wall extends inward beyond the first outermost extent with the first innermost extent of the first projection portion being positioned between the first and second outermost extents of the frame;
- and
- wherein when the first divider assembly is in the second position, the first projection portion of the first divider wall is positioned outward of the first outermost extent of the frame.
