Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 20 . (canceled) 
     
     
         21 . A positioning system for a multi-part shelf of a shelving display comprising:
 a first shelf component forming a first portion of a first shelf, the first shelf component having a support surface extending from a front edge and an opposing rear edge; and,   a second shelf component forming a second portion of the first shelf, the second shelf component having a support surface extending from a front edge to an opposing rear edge, and a first positioning tab extending downward from the support surface of the second shelf component.   
     
     
         22 . The positioning system of  claim 21  wherein the first positioning tab contacts a first portion of the front edge of the support surface of the first shelf component. 
     
     
         23 . The positioning system of  claim 21  wherein the first positioning tab is hingedly connected to the support surface of the second shelf component. 
     
     
         24 . The positioning system of  claim 23  wherein a portion of the first positioning tab is frangibly connected to the support surface of the second shelf component. 
     
     
         25 . The positioning system of  claim 22  further comprising a second positioning tab extending downward from the support surface of the second shelf component, the second positioning tab spaced from the first positioning tab. 
     
     
         26 . The positioning system of  claim 25  wherein the second positioning tab contacts a second portion of the front edge of the support surface of the first shelf component. 
     
     
         27 . The positioning system of  claim 26  wherein first positioning tab and the second positioning tab are hingedly connected to the support surface of the second shelf component 
     
     
         28 . The positioning system of  claim 21  wherein the support surface of the first shelf component includes a tab receiving portion. 
     
     
         29 . The positioning system of  claim 28  wherein the first positioning tab is configured to be received in the tab receiving portion of the first shelf component. 
     
     
         30 . The positioning system of  claim 21  wherein the shelving display includes a plurality of additional multi-part shelves wherein each multi-part shelf includes a first shelf component having a first support surface extending from a front edge to an opposing rear edge, and a second shelf component having a support surface extending from a front edge to an opposing rear edge and a first tab extending downward from the support surface. 
     
     
         31 . The positioning system of  claim 30  wherein the shelving display further comprises a back wall panel, a first side wall panel and a second side wall panel. 
     
     
         32 . The positioning system of  claim 31  wherein the first shelf component of the first shelf and the first shelf components of the plurality of additional multi-part shelves are part of a first shelf panel. 
     
     
         33 . The positioning system of  claim 32  wherein the second shelf component of the first shelf and the second shelf components of the plurality of additional multi-part shelves are part of a second shelf panel. 
     
     
         34 . The positioning system of  claim 33  wherein the back panel, first side wall panel, second side wall panel, first shelf panel and second shelf panel are all formed from a single blank of material. 
     
     
         35 . The positioning system of  claim 34  wherein the material is paperboard. 
     
     
         36 . The positioning system of  claim 34  wherein the material is corrugated paperboard. 
     
     
         37 . The positioning system of claim wherein the material is plastic. 
     
     
         38 . The positioning system of  claim 31  wherein the back panel includes a first U-shaped slot. 
     
     
         39 . The positioning system of  claim 38  wherein the first shelf component includes a rear projecting tab configured to fit in the first U-shaped slot of the back panel. 
     
     
         40 . The positioning system of  claim 21  wherein the second shelf component includes a vertically extending portion proximate the front edge of the support surface.
