Abstract: An apparatus for displaying and dispensing cylindrical objects having a diameter and a length along an axis includes a base supporting a reservoir configured and arranged to hold a plurality of cylindrical objects to be dispensed. The reservoir communicates with a downwardly and forwardly extending chute terminating in a forward display position on the base. The cylindrical object displayed in the display position is axially distended from the plurality of cylindrical objects held in the reservoir. Thus, upon loading a plurality of cylindrical objects into the reservoir, the chute and display position are filled with cylindrical objects and upon removal of a cylindrical object from the display position, cylindrical objects descend under the influence of gravity from the reservoir to the chute and from the chute to the display position.

Abstract: An apparatus for displaying goods packaged in glass containers on a shelf along the "glass aisle" of a grocery store is disclosed. Included is a bracket having two outwardly extending flanges positionable in a card channel on the front of a store shelf, outwardly extending mounts and a fascia mounted thereto, the fascia including a surface adapted to receive a label appropriate for the goods displayed, a stop to prevent containers from being pushed off the shelf, and opposed holes. Elongated rails extend rearward of the bracket and include outwardly extending forward terminations to permit the rails to be pinched together for alignment with and insertion into the holes in the bracket to join the bracket and rails, facilitating selective detachment of the rails from the bracket, an inner, lower pair of rails on which the containers may be supported, a first outer, upper pair for engaging the sides of the containers, and a second upper pair of rails to restrain tipping of the glass containers.
