Abstract: A spring-driven track unit for merchandising soft drink bottles has a sliding sheet metal pusher having a forwardly extending foot and a sloping back extending upwardly and forwardly from the rear edge of the foot. A self-coiling polyester sheet extends from a coil retained at the front of the track, along the supporting surface of the track and underneath the pusher foot. The self-coiling sheet is secured to the back of the pusher and provides a bearing surface for a driving spring which is in the form of a narrow, self-coiling strip. The driving spring is secured to the track near the front end and extends rearwardly in a recess to a coil located behind the sloping back of the pusher. The force of the pusher on the bottles is adjustable by bending the sloping back upwardly or downwardly. The pusher is prevented from sliding off the track by tabs bent downwardly from inwardly extending flanges below and integral with the track.
