Abstract: Apparatus for the display and dispensing of merchandise with at least one vertically extending carrier supporting the goods. The carrier can be slid out of the apparatus into a position in which it extends most of the way out of the apparatus, this position being determined by a stop, the goods being readily observable in this position. The stop limiting the sliding-out distance of the carrier can be selectively manually displaced from its operative position, whereupon the carrier can be pulled out in its entirety and detached from the apparatus. The goods can be removed from the carrier only after the latter has been detached from the apparatus. Upon re-insertion of the carrier, the stop automatically snaps behind the carrier, so that no special manipulation of the stop is needed at this time.

Abstract: The present invention is an enclosed display case having slidable trays therein movable from the outside of the display case. The slidable trays are stacked either vertically or horizontally with the items contained thereon being visible through a locked sliding glass door of the display case. Each of the trays has rollers to aid the movement of the trays along grooves inside the display case. Knobs extend from the side of the trays through slots to the outside of the display case to allow movement of the trays by customers to view items contained on each tray. A three-fourths length thin sliding bar moves with each tray to cover the slots in the side of the display case thereby preventing pilferage through the slots by customers.
