Abstract

A pusher is disposed behind a series of generally like objects stacked from back to front on a shelf. Side members tie the pusher to a pull handle at the front of the shelf and confine the stack of objects laterally in alignment. A rail is disposed at the front of the shelf to prevent objects from falling off the shelf as the pusher is drawn forward by the handle. Resilient means are disposed behind the pusher to return it and the handle to normal position after being drawn forward by a pull on the handle.
