Abstract (en)
A feeder device configured for mounting on a shelf for feeding successive products (P) to a front of the shelf. The device comprises an elongated guide member (10) which is configured for extending longitudinally backwards from the front of the shelf when the device is mounted. A first sled (20) is arranged longitudinally displaceable along the guide member (10) and comprises a back support (23) configured for engaging a rearmost product of the successive products (P) for pushing the products towards the front of the shelf. Means (25) is arranged for urging the first sled (20) along the guide member (10) towards a front end of said guide member. Indication means is arranged to indicate that the first sled (20) has reached or passed a certain predetermined position along the guide member (10), at which position only a predetermined number of the successive products (p) remain at the feeder device. The indication means comprises a second sled (30) which is arranged longitudinally displaceable together with the first sled (20) relative to the guide member and limitedly longitudinally displaceable relative to the first sled (20). The second sled comprises a front support (33) which is arranged to engage a front-most product (P) of the predetermined number of remaining products when the second sled (30) is in a front-most position relative to the first sled (20).
