Abstract

A track (2) for storing divider bars (24) used on a checkout counter (12) having a conveyor (14). The track (2) can be fitted over or replace a previously-installed track (10), and can store display/divider bars of much greater width than those presently in use. The wider surfaces of the new track also provide areas on which advertising can be displayed. The new tracks can be secured in place temporarily for ease of replacement by tracks displaying or holding updated advertising information.
