ABSTRACT:
A gravity feed product merchandising display device for suspending a plurality of product containers in parallel rows therefrom, the display device comprising one or more adjacent product channels adaptable for receiving the cap or closure portion associated with a wide variety of product containers when positioned therewithin, each product channel including a pair of rail members for engaging the product containers positioned therebetween whereby the product containers are slidably movable therealong towards the front portion of the device for easy access and removal therefrom, and a stop member positioned adjacent the front portion of each product channel, the stop member including a generally forwardly facing aperture located in communication with each respective product channel, the stop member aperture being sized and shaped to engage the closure portion of the lead product container in each product channel so as to prevent its passage through the aperture when the product container is oriented in its suspended free state orientation but being sized and shaped so as to allow the closure portion of each product container to pass therethrough when the product container is angularly oriented at at least a minimum predetermined angle relative to its suspended free state orientation. The present invention also discloses several optional configurations and various components for accommodating product containers having differently sized neck and closure portions. Several methods for manufacturing the present display devices are also disclosed herein.
