A gravity flow rack system specifically designed for use in dispensers of cylindrical- or conical-shaped lightweight plastic containers such as disposable yogurt tubs has inclined shelves supporting container flow channels, each of such channels defined by a pair of elongated rails extending from a rear end to a forward lower end of the shelf and terminating at an L-shaped seat or cradle adapted to receive a lower-most of such containers as it reaches the forward end of the channel, and present that lower-most container in an inviting, easy-to-view, label-up orientation for consumer viewing, while remaining containers stacked upstream of the lower-most container in the same channel are generally obscured from view in order to deter inventory mishandling.

[ We claim:] [1.] A gravity flow rack comprising one or more inclined shelf frames and a plurality of pairs of spaced rails supported by one of said inclined frames, each of said pairs of rails defining a distinct inclined channel therebetween for supporting an end-to-end array of stackable containers, said pairs of rails extending from an upper rear end of said frame to a lower forward end of the frame, and each of said pairs of rails leading to a substantially L-shaped seat associated with a single of said pairs of rails for supporting and prominently displaying a lower-most of said containers supported on said single pair of rails, said L-shaped seat being positioned forwardly of said lower forward end of the frame and being angled relative to the associated said pair of rails so as to cause said lower-most container to move to a prominent display position after descending down said inclined channel.
