Abstract
A replacement track for a display track channel has a generally planar, slightly flexible, longitudinally elongate track member defining a front portion, a back portion, and a body portion connecting the front and back portions. The front portion defines a wedge-shaped front for lifting articles supported by an existing track of a channel above the existing track and on to the front portion as the front portion is moved between the articles and the existing track. The body portion defines a top surface, a bottom surface and a pair of longitudinal edges connecting the top and bottom surfaces, the body portion having biasing means on at least one longitudinal edge thereof for maintaining the track member in a channel and preferably on both longitudinal edges thereof for centering the body portion within the channel. At least the body portion defines on both the top and bottom surfaces thereof slide means for reducing the friction generated by an article sliding thereover, whereby the track may be used in a regular or inverted orientation in the channel. Preferably the front is generally convexly shaped and the back portion defines a plurality of removable longitudinal segments for enabling a reduction in the longitudinal length of the track member to fit in a channel.
