ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for managing products displayed on pegs is provided. A puller member having an elongated body substantially as long as the peg on which is installed also has a downturned front gripping portion and a rear downward extending backstop. A detachable stabilizer portion may additionally be provided on the top of the elongated body. The stabilizer rests on a peg support member to stabilize the puller member against rotation. The backstop has an aperture therein for slidably receiving a peg. A groove can be provided on a lower surface of the elongated body along with an indentation near the downturned front portion wherein a peg head may seat when there are no products remaining on the peg. The puller member can also have a free-floating backplate disposed on the peg between the backstop and the products. As the backstop advances the free-floating plate and products forwards the free-floating plate remains behind the products when the puller is pushed back. The free-floating backstop can also act as a stabilizer for the elongated body. The free-floating backplate can be extra wide and have an additional aperture therein to receive an adjacent peg to simultaneously advance an adjacent row of products. The puller member may also have a product identification plate removably attached to the downturned front portion. Additionally, a return mechanism may be attached to puller member to automatically retract the puller member when pulled forwards and released.
