This invention provides a transparent plastic business card holder 10 that can be converted to a desktop display case. There is provided a base member 16 having a back wall 18 and top, left and side walls 20, 22 and 24, respectively, to partially form a framed enclosure for the back wall 18. A front wall 26 equipped with a trough assembly 40 extends laterally across the face of the front wall 26 between the left and right side walls 42 and 44, respectively, of the trough assembly. The front wall member is hinged to the base member so that the base member can be rotated three-fourths of a full circle to expose the trough assembly 40 outside the base member to display the card members 12. In the closed position the front wall member 26 is latched to the back wall 18 by means of a latched device 14. The trough assembly is equipped with a lip member 54 that is slidably replaceable and on which may be imprinted informational indicia.

Combination business card case and display case

A dispenser includes an openable housing having a front opening, a parallel-spaced pair of guide slots being supported proximate opposite sides of the housing, each guide slot having a generally vertically oriented first segment, a generally horizontally oriented second segment intersecting the first segment, and a generally vertically oriented third segment intersecting the second segment in offset relation to the first segment, the first segment having a bottom extremity below the second segment. A dual mandrel has parallel-spaced portions for receiving respective rolls, and a bridge portion rigidly connecting the mandrel portions. The dual mandrel, is locatable with opposite ends of each mandrel portion guidable from a first position wherein a lowermost of the mandrel portions is in a first dispensing position at the bottom extremity of the first segment, the other mandrel portion being in a reserve position and, following substantial consumption of the sheet material from the lowermost mandrel, to a second position wherein the lowermost of the mandrel portions is in an expended position at a bottom extremity of the third segment of the guide slot, and the other mandrel portion is in a second dispensing position within the first segment. A catch member is biasingly coupled to the housing for retaining the lowermost of the mandrel portions in the expended position.
