Article display stand

An article display apparatus comprises a base, a hollow housing having a transparent outer wall and an article support rack rotatably mounted within the interior of the housing which displays and supports articles stacked end-to-end in vertical columns about the circumference of the housing. The article support rack is formed of a plurality of plastic extrusions each having two semicircular-shaped columns. Each column comprises a pair of spaced, flexible gripping arms which extend vertically along the axial length of the housing. The gripping arms of each column have opposed article gripping portions adapted to receive and grip an article therebetween, and opposed outer ends which deflect apart upon insertion or removal of an article within the gripping portions. Each plastic extrusion is also formed with male and female locking elements which permit adjacent extrusions to removably interlock with one another to form the article support rack. Alternatively, the plastic extrusions are directly and permanently connected to one another to form an article display rack in which adjacent columns are either colinear or oriented at an angle relative to one another.

Article display apparatuses and elongated, deflectable racks

A portable article display apparatus for displaying articles such as beverage cans or other items includes a hollow housing having a transparent outer wall, a base support for mounting the housing and a door mounted over an access opening in the transparent outer wall for removing articles one-by-one from the housing. Systems for cooling the housing interior and defogging its transparent outer wall are provided for displaying food articles or other items which must be refrigerated. Articles are stacked in vertical columns within the housing interior upon an article support carriage which is rotatable with respect to the fixed base and housing to index each vertical column of articles into direct alignment with the door. In removing articles from the housing, the door is operable in an open position to permit removal of the lowermost article in the column while supporting the articles above. The remaining articles in the column are released in preparation for removal of another article upon closing the door.
