Abstract

A system (100) for dispensing a plurality of products provided initially in a package (50) is disclosed that includes a dispensing device having laterally opposed side walls (18A, 18B), a lower deck(16) connecting the opposing side walls and including at least one guide surface, and an upper deck (14) upon which a package is placed. The products are dispensed from within the package onto the lower deck where the guide surface assists the products to roll linearly from a rear end to a front end of the dispensing device. The dispensing system may include an opening tool (40) associated with the dispensing device and arranged to open the package when the package is moved longitudinally on the upper deck. The dispensing system may include a restocking indicator (290). The dispensing device may further include a structure on its rear end section to facilitate the dispensing of products.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to dispensing and display systems for use in retail environments. The disclosed dispensing system includes a dispensing device configured to receive on its upper deck a carton or pack containing a plurality of products, the mechanism ensuring that tapered or unbalanced products are contained within the system Scroll in a straight line. The present disclosure also relates to dispensing systems such as the aforementioned that include mechanisms for indicating when the system should be restocked. In addition, the present disclosure also relates to a dispensing system such as the aforementioned, which includes means for preventing product dispensed from a carton from becoming congested.
