A front stop is mounted at the front end of the base structure. At least one pusher is slidably mounted to the base structure. The pusher further includes a bottom wall and a pair of sidewalls extending upwardly from the bottom wall in an opposed space relation. A front wall of the pusher extends upwardly from the bottom wall. The front wall includes a base portion and a projection portion. The projection portion extends upwardly and diagonally away from the base portion to an upper edge. The upper edge of the projection portion is forward of the base portion.
1. A retail merchandise pusher tray, comprising:
a base structure;
at least one divider mounted to the base structure and extending upwardly therefrom;
a front stop mounted at a front end of the base structure; and
at least one pusher slidably mounted to the base structure, the at least one pusher comprising:
a bottom wall;
a top wall in opposed spaced relation to the bottom wall;
a pair of sidewalls extending upwardly from the bottom wall in opposed spaced relation and interposed between the bottom wall and the top wall;
a front wall extending upwardly from the bottom wall to an upper most edge; and
wherein a depression is formed at the upper most edge such that the depression forms a portion of the front wall and a portion of the top wall; and
wherein the uppermost edge extends forward of a forward most edge of the bottom wall.
2. The tray of claim 1 , wherein the base structure includes a rectangular support structure;
a floor supported by the rectangular support structure;
wherein the floor is comprised of wire members including:
a plurality of longitudinal members in opposed spaced relationship;
a plurality of horizontal members in opposed spaced relationship; and
wherein a portion of each of the plurality of longitudinal members are joined transversely to a portion of each plurality of horizontal members.
3. The tray of claim 2 , wherein the rectangular support structure includes:
at least two horizontal bar members in opposed space relation;
at least two longitudinal corner plate members in opposed space relation; and
wherein the at least two horizontal bar members are each joined to the at least two longitudinal corner plate members proximate to ends thereof.
4. The tray of claim 1 , wherein the front stop is curved.
5. The tray of claim 1 , wherein the at least one divider includes a pair of wire dividers; each divider including a top longitudinal wire member over a bottom longitudinal wire member in opposed space relation; and
wherein a first viewing window is provided between the top and bottom longitudinal wire members and a second viewing window is provided between the bottom longitudinal wire member and the floor.
6. The tray of claim 1 , wherein the pusher includes a cavity that provides for a biasing member, a terminus end of the biasing member extendable through an attachment member of the bottom wall to the front end stop.
