Abstract

This invention is an integrally moulded display floor for a gravity feed display tray where the floor has no integrally moulded side walls extending upward but has a plurality of longitudinal ribs which can receive upward extending partitions which are releasably attachable to the floor and extend longitudinally, thus dividing the display tray into laterally spaced compartments. Each display tray has opposite marginal side walls extending downward and transversely extending support beams intersecting the longitudinal ribs. The downward extending side walls extend below the bottom surfaces of the longitudinal ribs thus establishing a basement where the bottom surfaces of the ribs constitute the ceiling of the basement. This basement is a space suitable for receiving downward extending tabs of the partition to engage and stabilize such partition with the display track. The basement also provides suitable space for lateral extending coupling means from one display track to the next for coupling adjacent display tracks to provide a wider transverse area thereof. Furthermore, the basement allows space for further coupling members extending from the rear end of any display track element to the front end of the next for coupling thereto. These coupling elements are flexible hook type members which engage into mating recesses and are releasable upon deflecting and/or bending one with respect to the other. A variety of additional coupling means are provided for insuring that the partition is securely engaged but readily releasable from the display track and repositionable on the surface of the display track between any two pair of adjacent longitudinal ribs.
