Merchandising system

1. A system for displaying merchandise comprising:

a first tray member including:

a base;

a first side wall and a second side wall extending from the base, the second sidewall spaced apart from the first sidewall by a passage extending from a first end of the first tray member to a second end of the first tray member and defining a longitudinal axis, the passage including a support bed extending parallel to the longitudinal axis and a ramp extending from the support bed to the second end of the first tray member at an oblique angle;

a first coupler formed on the first sidewall adjacent to the base;

a second coupler formed on the second sidewall adjacent to the base and configured to engage a corresponding first coupler of a second system for displaying merchandise; and

a series of corrugations disposed within the passage at the second end and extending in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis, wherein the series of corrugations are arranged along a direction of the longitudinal axis;

a second tray member including the passage, the second tray member received by the first end of the first tray member and operable between a first configuration wherein the passage has a first length and a second configuration wherein the passage has a second length; and

a pusher disposed within the passage and operable between a first position adjacent the ramp and a second position spaced apart from the ramp.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein a first side of the first tray member is slideably received by a second side of the second tray member.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first tray member includes a first track formed on a first side of the passage, and the second tray member includes a first rail formed on the first side of the passage, the first rail being slideably received by the first track.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the first tray member includes a second track formed on a bottom of the passage, and the second tray member includes a second rail formed on the bottom of the passage, the second rail being slideably received by the second track.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second tray member is configured to telescope from the first tray member.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the pusher includes a retractor having a first end attached to the pusher and a second end attached to the support bed.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first tray member includes a detachable nose formed of a transparent material, the nose including the ramp of the passage and a pair of fingers extending from the ramp at the second end of the first tray member.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the fingers are spaced apart from each other along the second end of the first tray member, and extend transverse to the ramp.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the pusher includes a concave pushing surface facing the first end of the first tray member.

10. A system for displaying merchandise comprising:

a first tray member including;

a base;

a first sidewall and a second sidewall extending from the base, the second sidewall spaced apart from the first sidewall by a passage extending from a first end of the first tray member to a second end of the first tray member and defining a longitudinal axis;

a first coupler formed on the first side wall adjacent to the base;

a second coupler formed on the second sidewall adjacent to the base and configured to engage a corresponding first coupler of a second system for displaying merchandise;

a support bed extending between the first side and the second side at a first end of the passage; and

a ramp extending between the first side and the second side at a second end of the passage, the first side and the second side each including a series of parallel corrugations disposed at the second end and extending in a direction transverse to the ramp, wherein the series of parallel corrugations are arranged along a direction of the longitudinal axis;

a second tray member having a third side and a fourth side spaced apart from the third side by the passage, the third side slideably received by the first side of the first tray member and the fourth side slideably received by the second side of the first tray member, the second tray member operable between a first configuration wherein the passage has a first length and a second configuration wherein the passage has a second length; and

a pusher disposed within the passage and operable between a first position on the support bed adjacent the ramp and a second position on the support bed spaced apart from the ramp.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the ramp extends from the support bed at an oblique angle.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the pusher includes a spring having a first end attached to the pusher and a second end attached to the support bed.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the first tray member includes a first track formed on a first side of the passage, and the second tray member includes a first rail formed on the first side of the passage, the first rail being slideably received by the first track.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the first tray member includes a second track formed on a bottom of the passage, and the second tray member includes a second rail formed on the bottom of the passage, the second rail being slideably received by the second track.

15. The system of claim 10 , wherein the first tray member includes a detachable nose formed of a transparent material and including the ramp.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the nose includes a pair of fingers extending transversely from the ramp at the second end of the first tray member.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the fingers are spaced apart from each other along the second end of the first tray member.

18. The system of claim 10 , wherein the pusher includes a concave pushing surface facing the second end of the first tray member.
