Abstract
Disclosed herein is an apparatus for the storage and display of elongate items and particularly marking pens and felt tip markers. The apparatus includes a removable cassette holding a plurality of marking pens. The cassette may be used by an artist or draftsman at a work bench, desk or drafting table in conjunction with a user stand. In the stand the cassette may be moved between two fixed positions, a first position in which the cassettes are tilted forward to permit convenient user access to the pens and a second position in which the cassette is inclined in a rearward position, primarily for storage. The cassettes may also be employed as part of a a rack panel display system. In this system one or more cassettes may be suspended from a rack in which individual cassettes are swingably mounted. Selection of marking pens stored within the cassettes is facilitated by swinging the cassette from side to side thus permitting a person to leaf through as in the pages of a book.
