A shelving system includes an elongated mounting member operationally securable to an associated shelf. The mounting member includes an approximately vertically oriented wall, and an approximately horizontally oriented wall. A track is received on said mounting member in a sliding manner. The track extends approximately transversely to a longitudinal axis of the associated shelf. The track includes an elongated rail extending longitudinally along the track, and a pusher slidably mounted in relation to the rail. A divider is received on the mounting member in a non-sliding manner, wherein the divider extends approximately transversely to the longitudinal axis of the associated shelf. The divider is spaced from the track.

The shelving system of claim 1 wherein said track further comprises a front edge, and a groove located rearwardly of said front edge. 3. The shelving system of claim 2 wherein said track front edge is located at said mounting member second groove. 4. The shelving system of claim 3 wherein said divider comprises a second tooth, said at least one first tooth engaging said second tooth to retard a sliding motion of said divider on said mounting member. 5. The shelving system of claim 1 wherein said pusher comprises a foot extending from a base member, said foot cooperating with said rail. 6. The shelving system of claim 5 wherein said pusher further comprises a front wall extending upwardly from said base member. 7. The shelving system of claim 1 further comprising a spring having one end mounted to said track and another end located on said pusher for biasing said pusher forwardly on said track. 8. The shelving system of claim 1 wherein at least one of said mounting member and said track comprises a resilient material to allow a relative flexing between said mounting member and said track. 9. The shelving system of claim 1 further comprising a fence selectively mounted in said first groove. 10. A shelving system comprising: an elongated mounting member operationally securable to a front portion of an associated shelf, said mounting member comprising: an approximately vertically oriented first wall, an approximately horizontally oriented second wall including a planar top face, and; a groove disposed between said first and second walls wherein said second wall planar top face and said groove are of generally equal width and wherein said second wall planar top face is elevated in relation to said groove, a track received on said mounting member in a sliding manner such that a forward portion of said track is spaced from and is out of contact with said elongated mounting member first wall, wherein said track and said mounting member engage each other at said second wall and, wherein said track extends rearwardly over the associated shelf; an elongated rail extending longitudinally along said track; a spring urged pusher slidably mounted in relation to said rail; a divider received on said mounting member, wherein said divider extends rearwardly over the associated shelf, said divider being spaced from said track. 11. The shelving system of claim 10 wherein said divider further comprises a bottom face, a front edge and a slot located in said bottom face, wherein said slot is located rearwardly of said front edge. 12. The shelving system of claim 11 wherein said mounting member comprises a first longitudinally extending groove, said divider front edge being accommodated in said mounting member first groove. 13. The shelving system of claim 12 wherein said track comprises a front edge and a transverse slot located rearwardly of said front edge, said track front edge being accommodated in said mounting member first groove. 14. The shelving system of claim 10 wherein said pusher comprises a foot extending from a base of said pusher, said foot cooperating with said rail. 15. The shelving system of claim 14 wherein said pusher further comprises a front wall extending upwardly from said base. 16. The shelving system of claim 10 wherein at least one of said track and said mounting member comprises a resilient material to allow a relative flexing between said first mounting member and said track. 17. The shelving system of claim 10 wherein said spring urged pusher comprises a coil spring having a first end mounted to one of said track and said first mounting member and a second end located on said pusher. 18. The shelving system of claim 10 further comprising a first set of teeth extending from a face of said mounting member. 19. The shelving system of claim 18 further comprising at least one second tooth extending from said divider, said at least one second tooth engaging said first set of teeth to retard a sideward sliding motion of said divider in relation to said mounting member. 20. The merchandising system of claim 10 wherein said divider comprises a base portion and a vertically oriented wall portion extending from said base portion and dividing said base portion into a first section and a second section. 21. The merchandising system of claim 20 wherein said divider base portion includes a transversely extending slot. 22. A merchandising system comprising: an elongated mounting member operationally securable to a front portion of an associated shelf and extending parallel to a longitudinal axis thereof, said mounting member comprising: an approximately vertically oriented wall including first and second sections, an approximately horizontally oriented wall including a raised area comprising a front face, a planar top face which is of larger dimension than said front face, a back face and a plurality of teeth located on said back face; a first track received on said mounting member in a sliding manner, wherein said first track extends rearwardly over the associated shelf, said track including a pusher slidably mounted thereon, said pusher being biased in a forward direction; wherein said mounting member comprises a first longitudinally extending groove separating said raised area of said approximately horizontally oriented wall from said approximately vertically oriented wall, and wherein said first track includes a front portion that is accommodated in said mounting member first groove such that a front surface is spaced away from any portion of said first and second sections of said approximately vertically oriented wall; and a first divider received on said mounting member in a non-sliding manner via a positive engagement; wherein said first track comprises a front face and a bottom face in which is defined a transversely extending slot, wherein said first track slot includes a pair of walls which engage said front face and top face of said mounting member raised area to provide the positive engagement at a location rearwardly of said first track front face and said first track does not engage any of said plurality of teeth of said mounting member to provide a sliding engagement. 23. The shelving system of claim 22 wherein said first divider includes a front portion that is accommodated in said mounting member first groove. 24. The merchandising system of claim 22 further comprising: at least one tooth located on said divider, said at least one divider tooth engaging said at least one of said plurality of teeth of said mounting member to retard a sideward sliding motion of said divider in relation to said mounting member. 25. The shelving system of claim 24 wherein said at least one tooth located on said divider is located in a slot defined in said divider. 26. The merchandising system of claim 24 further comprising: a plurality of additional tracks mounted on said elongated mounting member, said plurality of additional tracks being spaced from each other and from said first track; and a plurality of additional dividers mounted on said elongated mounting member, said plurality of additional dividers being spaced from each other and from said first divider. 27.
