Abstract
The merchandise display rack of this invention is particularly adapted for cylindrical ice cream containers. Each rack in the assembly has in-turned side rails so that a row of containers can be supported on their cylindrical sides and fed forwardly by a pusher plate pressing against the trailing container. A stretchable tension member, such as a long coil spring, is attached to the rear of each rack at both sides, brought forward around spaced pulleys at the front and then directed back behind the pusher plate that engages the trailing container. The individual racks may be secured together side by side and vertically with sufficient vertical clearance to accommodate a row of containers.
