Abstract: A display turret for supporting four identical box-dispensing units on a counter. Each unit is constituted by a frame having a pair of side walls from which ledges project inwardly to divide the interior of the frame into compartments for accommodating the boxes to be stored, the side walls being bridged at the rear of the frame by upper and lower cross slats. The turret is formed by a center post extending between square top and bottom plates whose corners are chamfered, the sides of the plates being provided with upwardly-extending flanges to define brackets. Thus each side of the turret has an upper and lower bracket, these brackets being adapted to engage the upper and lower slats of a respective unit whereby the turret supports an array of four units.

Abstract: A display and storage stand for floor coverings is disclosed as including an upright standard upon which a display and storage assembly is rotatably mounted. The assembly includes a first or bottom support disc for receiving the bottom edge of the rolled floor coverings, to be stored and displayed, a spacing disc supported above the first support disc and having first and second notches therein disposed about the periphery thereof. The set of first notches are of a configuration to receive a single rolled covering, whereas the second notches are of sufficient size and of such configuration to receive at least two rolls of the floor covering. The standard includes leg portions for supporting an upright, vertically disposed portion about which the display and storage assembly is rotatably mounted. Suitable bearings are disposed upon the upper surface of the leg portions whereby the first support disc may readily slide thereover to permit the rotation of the display and storage assembly.

Abstract: A tool holder for the shank tools of a drilling, boring or milling machine comprises a table having a pair of vertically spaced coaxial horizontal disks including a smaller diameter upper disk and a larger diameter lower disk and spacer holding the disks apart and connecting them together. The table is mounted upon a flanged shaft which is rotatable in a bearing sleeve containing friction means limiting the rotation of the table. The upper disk is formed with rectangular arrays of tapered or nontapered holes adapted to receive tool shanks while the lower disk is provided outside the outline of the upper disk with circular arrays of holes with the holes of each array lying between the holes of an adjacent array.
