Abstract: A finned tube support for coat hangers comprising a hollow plastic tube of sufficient length and sufficient internal diameter to slip over a closet rod of the type normally employed for holding hangers thereon in a closet, the plastic tube having a wall thickness of between about 1/32 and 1/16 inch, a plurality of circular plastic disks mounted in spaced parallel relation on the tube and at right angles to the longitudinal central axis of the tube, the disks having an axial thickness of about 1/16 of an inch and a central opening equal to the outer diameter of the tube, the disk having an outer diameter equal to about 2 and 1/2 inches, the center-to-center spacing from one disk to the next adjacent disk being equal to about 1/2 inch.

Abstract: A dispensing unit includes a tray system including front, rear and side walls with partitions dividing the system into a plurality of trays and a support slidably supporting the tray system between a product dispensing position and a product restocking position. Each tray has a slot in its bottom between the front and rear walls with a pusher plate slidably supported in the slot and biased toward the front wall. The support has a stop which moves all of the pusher plates toward the rear wall when the tray system is moved to the restocking position and a latch mechanism holds the tray in the product dispensing position.

Abstract: An article for mixing a tray holder has a generally rectangular side panel having upper and lower edges and inner and outer faces, a generally rectangular roof panel projecting generally perpendicular from the inner face of the side panel along the upper edge thereof, and a generally rectangular floor panel projecting generally perpendicular from the inner face of the side panel along the lower edge thereof. These panels are formed along a plane perpendicularly to and bisecting all panels with a weakened region and the roof and floor panels have straight outer edges remote from the side panel that are complementarily shaped to opposite sides of the plane. Thus according to the invention the article can be subdivided into two complementary and interfitting pieces along the plane adn joined together to make a half-depth holder by bonding together the complementary outer edges. A full-depth holder can be made by bonding together the outer edges of two such articles.

Abstract: Floor stand with a tubular leg (1) of folding material, to which is attached a device (2) for the housing and presentation of merchandise, which is constructed as a deep-drawn plastics component in the manner of a tray, with a base surface and with encircling end faces (15) integrally moulded to its edges and pointing downwards and also directly mutually connected, whilst a correspondingly profiled connecting plate (16) of corrugated board material, which is inserted into the housing space formed by the base surface and the encircling end faces of the housing device, is glued by its underside to a roof panel part of the leg and by its upper side to the base surface of the housing device.

Abstract: A reel stabilizer and ejection device for use on a magnetic tape reel storage rack. The device comprises a unitary elongate resilient member having a body portion extending downwardly from the lower surface of a tape shelf and having a tape shelf engagement surface integrally connected to the upper end of the body portion and having a reel engagement portion integrally connected to the lower end of the body portion for exerting a stabilizing or ejecting force on a tape reel hung from a forward flange portion of the tape shelf.
