Abstract
A portable, refrigerated article display apparatus for displaying food items such as soda cans includes a hollow housing having a transparent outer wall, a base support for mounting the housing, a door mounted over an access opening in the transparent outer wall and systems for cooling the housing interior and defogging its transparent outer wall. 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 lower most 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.
