ABSTRACT:
An improved conveyor belt assembly that gravity feeds a column of containers one after another to the front edge of a display rack's shelf as that column's lead containers are successively removed by customers, the conveyor belt having certain specific friction coefficient relationships relative to its support floor and the containers thereon. The improved conveyor belt assembly includes a support floor, a snap-on end cap attached to each end of the support floor, and an endless conveyor belt that tracks over an idler spool mounted on each end cap. A shock absorber against which the column's lead container abuts during use is mounted on the front one of the end caps. The end caps also include alignment structure which cooperates with display rack's shelf to restrain the assembly in desired orientation on the shelf.
