Abstract: A dispensing apparatus for packaged products which includes a plurality of parallel channels, each of which independently positions products for dispensing. Each product dispensing channel is separated from the adjacent channel or channels by a removable divider wall and is adapted to support and dispense packaged products having a common configuration. The product packages aligned within a dispensing channel are supported upon a pair of parallel guide rails which extend from the rear to the forward position of the dispensing apparatus. A positioning member is disposed within each channel and is slidably engaged upon the parallel guide rail. The positioning member is biased toward the front dispenser support thereby positioning all product packages within a dispensing channel adjacent one another and forwardly toward the front dispenser support.

Abstract: An apparatus for supporting and displaying non-prescription eyeglasses upon a cantilevered merchandise display assembly. A substantially rectangular, planar base member has a pair of temple supports depending downwardly therefrom at the lateral extremes of the base member. Each temple support has an aperture disposed therethrough for receiving one of the temples of the eyeglasses. The temple supports are partially severed outwardly from the circumference of each aperture in order to accommodate temples of varying sizes. The edge of the base member intermediate the temple supports is adapted to be spaced above the bridge of the eyeglasses and thereby avoid interference with the nose gap of the eyeglasses. The upper edge of the base member opposite the temple supports is extended upwardly into a support flange which is selectively engageable with the merchandising display assembly.

Abstract: An apparatus for supporting medical supplies which is ambulatory and provides improved load-support capabilities. A vertical standard is mounted upon an ambulatory base and includes a plurality of independent fluid or equipment hanger assemblies. Each hanger assembly is vertically movable and is capable of supporting substantial loads (e.g., 25 pounds). A pulley system is coupled to the hanger assembly and an engagement positioner. The pulley system transmits the selected vertical movement of the engagement positioner to the hanger assembly while concurrently reducing the mechanical force required to position the load suspended from the respective hanger assembly.
