  • Publication number: 20040060944
    Abstract: A display case having a plurality of compartments with a front covering closing them. A bottom slide dispenses one article at a time, from the bottom of each compartment. As the slide moves, it makes a loud noise to tell the store clerk that someone is dispensing a product. A would-be thief is thus placed on guard that his or her activity is being monitored by the check-out clerk, even if the thief is beyond the line of sight of the clerk.
