Abstract: A rotating sunglass merchandiser display unit includes vertical display panels disposed between top and bottom horizontal support members. At least one of the vertical display panels is rotatable between a first position for displaying sunglasses, eyeglass frames or similar merchandise, and a second position for displaying promotional material or other non-eyewear products. The display unit includes a locking mechanism for releasably locking the rotatable vertical display panel in either the first or second display positions.

Abstract: A display unit includes multiple vertical panels that are adapted to carry and display relatively flat articles such as roofing and flooring samples. The panels are pivotally mounted for swinging generally left and right between upper and lower retaining plates which are mounted for manual rotation about a vertical axis such that each panel passes a position at the front of the unit as the retaining plates rotate through one revolution. A ratchet-type mechanism permits relatively free rotation of the unit in one direction, such as to the right, but includes equally spaced detents to interrupt free rotation of the unit each time a panel reaches said front position. The panels are biased to swing toward, in the present instance, the right, such that the front of each panel is presented in a forwardly direction when that panel is positioned at the front of the unit.

Abstract: A rotational cadaver system is disclosed which incorporates a rotational storage rack. The rotational storage rack includes a first and second shaft and two wheels mounted thereto.
