Abstract: The apparatus is a hanger for the ends of the axle of a roll of sheet goods such as carpeting. The hanger is a short "U" channel with a spindle attached across the top of the "U" and protruding out from one side. The spindle is used to substitute for the pin between links of vertical endless chains which hold multiple rolls for display. The side of the "U" opposite from the protruding spindle has a slot which curves down from a vertical edge of the side toward the bottom of the "U". A spring loaded catch pivots across the slot, but only moves in the direction which permits the end of a roller axle to enter the slot while preventing the axle from lifting out from the slot.
