Abstract: A storage rack for storing removable automobile hardtops includes a vertical frame member and a pair of horizontal frame members pivotably mounted to the lower end of the vertical frame member for arcuate movement in a substantially horizontal plane. A lower edge of the hardtop rests on the forward end of the horizontal members abutting vertical cleats, and the upper edge of the top leans rearwardly against the upper end of the vertical member. A strap biases the top into abutment with the storage frame, and wheel means support the storage frame for rolling movement. A fabric dust cover encloses the rack and hardtop mounted thereon during storage.

Abstract: A storage rack assembly and vending channel structure for a vending machine that stores packages such as bottles and cans and feeds the same to a release mechanism upon the insertion of one or more coins or tokens in payment for the article. A release mechanism allows the product to travel down a vend chute and into a delivery port. Each channel is comprised of a pair of mutually opposing serpentine side members having a predetermined separation distance providing a storage column for both bottles and cans. The support surfaces of both members comprise side walls which are furthermore skewed or inclined from the horizontal downwardly.
