ABSTRACT:
A divider for separating adjacent zones of a retail merchandise shelf from one another in order to keep merchandise in each zone in a neat and orderly arrangement and to prevent mingling of merchandise in one zone with merchandise in an adjacent zone. The divider includes an elongated wire rod extending from the front of the shelf toward the rear thereof and having a disc on its rear end portion for holding the rear end portion of the rod in upwardly spaced relation with the shelf. A bracket is attached releasably and slidably to a laterally projecting finger on the front end of the rod and keeps the front of the rod spaced upwardly from the shelf while permitting adjustment of the rod along the shelf. In addition, the bracket is formed with two laterally space holes which receive push pins adapted to telescope into holes in the shelf in order to secure the divider in a fixed position on the shelf. The pins are spaced 1" apart and enable the divider to be used with a shelf having holes spaced either on 1/2" increments or 1" increments. The bracket also may be designed to hold a label having printed information relating to the merchandise in the zone.
