Abstract
A merchandising system can include an elongated mounting member selectively securable to an associated shelf and a cooperating member received on the mounting member. The cooperating member can extend rearwardly over the associated shelf. The cooperating member can include an elongated body having a front end, and a rear end. The elongated body can include a base portion and a divider portion protruding from the base portion. A latch can be movably mounted to the cooperating member. The latch selectively engages the elongated mounting member to retard a sliding motion of the cooperating member on the mounting member.
Claims18
A merchandising system comprising:
- an elongated mounting member including a base, a front wall extending from the base, a back wall extending from the base, and a slot defined between the front wall and the back wall;
- a cooperating member including a base and a divider portion, said divider portion protruding from the base, wherein said cooperating member is adapted to engage the mounting member;
- and
- a latch member slidably mounted on said divider portion, the latch member being oriented in a plane extending perpendicular to a plane of said divider portion and, said latch member including a protrusion adapted to selectively enter the slot defined in said mounting member.
A merchandising system comprising:
- an elongated mounting member including a longitudinal axis, said elongated mounting member including a front wall, a back wall, and a slot defined between the front wall and the back wall;
- a cooperating member including an elongated body which is oriented in a direction generally transverse to said mounting member longitudinal axis, said cooperating member including a base, a divider protruding from the base and a front end portion received in the slot of said mounting member, and
- a latch member slidably mounted to said divider of said cooperating member, said latch member being adapted to slide along an axis oriented transverse to a longitudinal axis of the cooperating member and including a protrusion adapted to selectively enter the slot of said elongated mounting member so as to retard a lateral movement of said cooperating member in relation to said mounting member;
- wherein when the protrusion is not located in the slot, a lateral movement of said cooperating member is permitted in relation to said mounting member.
A merchandising system comprising:
- an elongated mounting member;
- a cooperating member including a base portion extending along a horizontal plane and a divider portion, said divider portion protruding from the base portion and extending along a vertical plane, wherein a front end of the base portion is adapted to cooperate with the mounting member;
- a front wall mounted to said divider portion, the front wall being adapted to slide along a vertical axis oriented perpendicular to the horizontal plane of the base portion of the cooperating member;
- wherein said front wall includes an engaging portion comprising at least one L-shaped guide extending parallel to a longitudinal axis of the front wall which engaging portion cooperates with a protrusion located at a front end of said cooperating member divider portion wherein the protrusion extends laterally away from both a first and a second side of the divider portion;
- and
- wherein said front wall includes a protrusion extending away from a lower end of said front wall, the protrusion adapted to enter a slot defined in the mounting member.
