Abstract: The present invention is an upright revolving display stand (10,10') of the type for displaying articles of merchandise (66,66') and of the type supported by both a base floor portion (12,12') and an upright wall portion. (14,14') extending from the base floor portion (12,12'). The display stand (10,10') is characterized by a display rack (46,46') coupled to the pole (24,24').

Abstract: The SAVE SYSTEM TRAINER provides a multi-purpose, multi-functional simulated vehicular environments for both singular unit or integrated joint preparedness training of Amphibious Crew and Marine Troop (Expeditionary Forces) consisting of "Crew and Troop Readiness", "Safety", "Mobilization", "Communication", and "Navigation" as pertains to expeditionary tactical launching, maneuvering, landing and recovery, full scale testing and training applications.In addition, equal emphasis is given on expanding multiple functions of the SAVE SYSTEM TRAINER as a research, test, and development laboratory for the purpose of studying internal complexities of wet well transports and the effects caused by accelerated dynamic motion within this enclosed environment. Again, with a focus directed toward troop, crew, and equipment safety and efficiency in the most cost effective manner possible.

Abstract: Simulation of amphibious vehicular environments, with a housing simulating part of a transport ship's hull, located at least partly over a body of water, movably mounted to simulate seagoing characteristics, and having ramp means adapted to extend onto the water, enabling the launching of amphibious vehicles from inside the housing and recovery of such vehicles back into the housing. Simulation is practiced by assembling and confining an amphibious crew in the housing, limiting the crew's perception of the external environment, providing cues perceptible by the crew as being characteristic of seagoing transport, furnishing the crew with an amphibious vehicle, instructing the crew in its operation, whether the vehicle floats by water displacement or hovers over the surface of the water, then deploying a launching-and-recovery ramp from the housing onto the water, launching the amphibious vehicle down the ramp, maneuvering it, and finally recovering it up the ramp and back into the housing.
