ABSTRACT:
An inventory/facing construction currently available gondola which allows it to accommodate faster moving inventory without changing the desired planogrammed facings. A horizonal shelf carries symmetrical anchors at each rear end. A three-way arm has one arm pivotally secured to a forward finger, a second arm retaining; a counter balance spring between the second arm and an upper rear finger of the anchor, and a third arm extending diagonally upwardly pivotally secured to front anchors at each front end of the shelf. The front anchors support a vertical panel between the standards, forming a smaller version of a gondola upright, peg board construction, and supported desired shelving and facings. A bar is pivotally secured to the arms and anchors.
The front anchors define a cam surface which engages a cam follower at the forward end of the horizonal shelf causing the panel to move its substantially full horizonal extent as soon as possible and then to drop vertically to its full extent thereafter. The arms and bar form a torsion bar to insure proper positioning of the panel. The facing shelving occupies about one-quarter of the volume above the gondola base, and the inventory storage behind occupies about three-quarters of the volume.
